  Reddit thread on convention video urging cutting off contact with Faders

  by LongHairGal in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just read this.

  don’t know if anybody here has seen the video.. the intended result of this is to obviously scare ‘faders’ out of the shadows.

  now, they are being threatened with loss of association with their loved ones and friends.

  Sunk cost fallacy and not wanting elderly relatives to understand they have wasted their lives believing something that was lies. . . . . siblings can now openly talk about how they were mislead into making decisions decades ago based on the lie that the end would come soon. . . . now they are elderly themselves

  The phrase I highlighted is the sad part. If you wait and wait so as to not offend others (ie, parents) you find out that now you are too old to start over too and you have been robbed of more years of your own life.

  The famous Menlo Park Kingdom Hall in California is now a Spanish Pentecostal Church!

  I thought that entire battle was over the fact that the real estate had become so valuable? And a Pentecostal Church had the (bid?) bucks to buy it? Did they keep the old Hall? Or, demo it and erect a new church?

  One CO (Andy Laguna) told me in the 90s he wouldn't even consider appointing new servants who didn't average 15 hrs per month with at least one study.

  Now one only has to "fog a mirror".

  Oh yah, and have a penis, though there is no longer the requirement for hair on your balls.

  The Prophetic Days in Daniel Fulfilled

  “this will be the final topic i post.

  the structured fulfillment of prophecy has now been made undeniably clear, and after completing one final task—the letter to the governing body of jehovah’s witnesses—i will take my rest.

  the truth has been presented, the timeline confirmed, and all that remains is the culmination of prophecy itself.” estephan leuese.

  PIMA is best so it’s not a shock to the system if the tower collapsed

  by JohnR1975 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know most people here are totally out and that’s fine.. many these days are staying physically in for the social life and that is also fine.. i feel being fully mentally in is dangerous as it could be such a shock mentally if or should i say when the tower collapsed.. im sitting in the fence like so many others here.

  mentally agnostic if god exists or not and if the bible is his word.. when i talk to people who are physically and mentally still in i can tell that they so need it to be true.

  i’m worried for them when they wake up to the fact that they have been lied to 1914 wasn’t true 1975 wasn’t true 1999 wasn’t true and now here we are 2025 it’s all not true.

  When I talk to people who are physically and mentally still in I can tell that they so need it to be true.

  They truly NEED it to be true because they have so much invested. In fact, many dare not accept the fact that WT prophecies are wrong because it would prove them so ignorant and gullible. (Don't I know it!)

  They ONLY travel, party, and closely associate with people who keep their MOUTHS SHUT about "questionable conduct" within the group.

  I think we were in this kind of group. I know most of our peers ignored the ban on oral sex and frequently enjoyed a few extra drinks.

  openly say I have doubts if the governing body are who they claim to be but I don’t know for sure

  Just ask a JW if they think it's possible that Jehover would allow an apostate to creep into the GB and deceive the faithful. While they hesitate to reply (and they will hesitate because they are fearful of what they are saying), simply add that "He already has! Remember Ray Franz?" "Think of all the doctrines that had to be "corrected" when he was discovered to be apostate!"
