  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

  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

  1. watchtower

  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.

  "Jehovah Will Help You Deal With Life’s Uncertainties" - WT Study Edition | April 2023

  by aqwsed12345 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'm talking about paragraph 15 of this article:.

  the title of the study article: "jehovah will help you deal with life’s uncertainties".

  accordingly, does it count as an "unexpected difficulty" when it turns out that a prophet's declaration made in the name of god does not come true?

  a pet peeve of mine

  putting this under "friends" because i couldn't figure out where to put it.

  it is very often on here and in ex jw videos, ect that people like to undermine some of those who once we would have called friends.

  there seems to be a view that window washers, plumbers, cleaners, construction workers are somehow less intelligent than those who may be college educated.

  Would you take advice about depression or relationships from a guy who washes windows? This the level of the borg. The elder's have no training in depression or Relationships and for that matter much. They are guys who work at various jobs(not wrong with that). But is wrong when they give bad advice. Look down on higher education. We should all try to improve ourselves.

  Having a degree or no degree, it is how you find your station in life to help your town and community. As I tell my kids, " Make the best of your life!"

  Yes, it true I have a paper that shows I graduated from college. But. It doesn't show the hard work of the Businesses that my family have. And I'm the head guy. We bake bread for one thing. That sounds easy, but it's not. No one should give advice to others unless they are willing to take the advice themselves.

  and then, for two years…..nothing happened.until they pretended everything was normal and sent everyone back to the hamster wheel.

  back to meetings, back to d2d, back to assemblies & conventions.

  everyone, get back on the hamster wheel, and don’t you dare complain or try to get out of it by using zoom.. https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/14fhe4y/exercise_patience_classic_gaslighting_from_wt/ .
