Watching the show

by Teddnzo in

i’m new to apostate stuff but have gone deep down a few rabbit holes of late so want to see both sides to everything .

im going to a congregation but am viewed as a bit of a black sheep because i question lots of things but not enough to cause too much trouble.. i’m intrigued watching the show.

in my heart i’m pretty sure the governing body are fakes and charlatans.. the entire thing is a big con game.

If you can get away with asking questions and not being marked as an Apostate as I was. And mind you, I didn't speak out against the Org, I was asking questions about doctrine which led to more questions. There was even a marking talk directed toward me without even saying my name and my family was shunned. More power to you. Be careful! Every move you make is being watched by the gestpo elders.

I worked for a bunch of Mormons and what a bunch of cheap azz people. They spy on you and pay you cheaply like Jw's and on top of that want to convert you to their group.

Asking Questions is dangerous in the Jw World. They will start or already have marked you as an Apostate. Why would you want to listen to they wild off the wall bull anyway?

Is WT Using ATTENDANTS At The Conventions To Be: "TOY COPS"

by HiddlesWife in

i have heard from a few ppimis and several pimos that the attendants who are stationedly-assigned to the front entrances of the borgvenues (cahs and other arenas) have been checking to see if any persons (members and non-member visitors) have badges.

on the other hand, if these persons don't have one, this is what i was told that these dubs do this: corral around the non-badge-wearing individual and interrogate he/she/them plus questioning them, "why are you here?!".

also, even if that person or persons have an invitation plus showed it to these dubs, these toy cops still do that procedure.

When I was courting my first wife the a few elders would follow us around like spies to catch us in something. Little KBG agents.

Treatment of Those Trying For Reinstatement

by Vanderhoven7 in

what happens when a jehovah’s witness who has been disfellowshipped returns to attending the meetings again?.

mark jones writes:.

if it's the same congregation that they previously attended then, yes, the congregation will remember who they are and so continue to treat them as dead or invisible.. one of the identifying marks a cult is that it uses shame and humiliation to control members, to keep them from leaving and manipulating those who escaped into coming back.. a disfellowshipped person is never allowed to quietly leave with dignity.

When a relative was DF'D she went to get reinstated but the abuse was so bad that it was not worth the trouble to bother. Why put up with abuse?

Lots of empty seats at Jehovah's Witnesses Convention in Tucson, Arizona

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

https://youtu.be/5926nhzyz90.

the jehovah's witness 2023 convention theme is, ''exercise patience''...by looking at the attendance at this tucson, arizona convention, it should be changed to, '' jehovah's witnesses...running out of patience''.

Reddit post about elder asking congregation for money to fix his car!

by LongHairGal in

yes, there’s a post on reddit.

it says that after a zoom meeting a request was made to baptized publishers to give $20 apiece to fix this elder’s car.. while this sounds highly irregular to me and not necessarily approved by the religion, i am not at all surprised at the nerve.

this, unfortunately, seems to be the direction that things are going there!

I know of a well to do Pioneer/elder husband and wife that had a business that claimed to be in bad struggles who went to members of the congregation with hat in hand asking for cash. They somehow got so much money that they took a trip and didn't pay anyone back. Our family did not fall for their crap.

Guaranteed way not to get disfellowshipped

by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

if it’s looking like someone may be disfellowshiped or announced they are no longer a jw and they don’t want to be shunned they just want to fade without being shunned - just say that would make me suicidal .

simple.

in the new shepherding book it says if they say that then don’t go ahead with it.

Moving is your best option. Stay away from Jw's at all costs and rebuild your life. You find new friends and never look back.
