SadElder, you're right about that fact! I betcha that the Bethellites who want to sneak out and leave the Warwitch Compound feel TRAPPED AF! This has been a bane to them, especially during the pandemic. They were not allowed to go to restaurants or other small places of interest (and there are very few in that township anyways). So, now that the In-Person KH Meetings are in session again, I'm sure those Bethellites are ready to RUN QUITE WILD to outside venues because WHQ felt like PRISON to them!

Were the bethelites disappointed when they moved out of Brooklyn?
by GabeAthouse inanyone know of anyone who was serving at the time of the move?
i know a few former jw's who were at brooklyn who have told me that the actual bethel experience was kind of a drag but it was kinda cool to experience living in nyc for a couple of years.
i visited a relative who was serving, years ago and went into the apartment he shared.

Rosemont Cemetery II
by RolRod inokay, so here's a follow-up to my post a while back regarding the society tearing down the pyramid monument.
they cleared the area and this is what they did.
notice ... nothing about the watchtower connected to it, just slabs of cheap concrete..

WAY LESS CREEPY AF than that NIGHTMARISH PYRAMID! 😬
Sidebar Point=> Since the pyramid was taken down, will WT have it erected somewhere at Warwitch for an exhibit--in addition to their old NEON SIGN which used to be over one of the Brooklyn buildings? Just. Curious.

Is WT Influencing Dubs To Check On Other Dubs' Activities Via ZOOM And Otherwise?
by HiddlesWife inthe reason for my question is because one pimo has noticed that there are some pimis--particularly spimis--who have remarked that they "are not going to contact nor associate with the friends who are delinquent on zoom and/or at in-person kh meetings, conventions, and assemblies".
i've noticed this as well: a few ppimis and pimqs who were very close to me and my exdub family members are hearing from them less and less lately than before last year's rc and this year's rc.
so, is the above a thing nowadays?

Diogenesister, what do these acronyms mentioned within your posting stand for? I know SPIMI (Super PIMI), PPIMI (Plain PIMI) and PIMQ (Physically In/Mentally Question); but what about the others?

Erotic cringey convention drama
by neat blue dog incheck out this convention drama, starting at 21:38 ... david breaths and describes what he sees as bathsheba takes a bath 😅 then they get together and keep weirdly quoting song of solomon in a twisted way... and he keeps calling her sister and later on even "little sister" 😳 just wacko:.

The old "Don't do as I do, do as I say do" SUBLIMINAL tactic. WT can talk all they want regarding this biblical account, but on the other hand/by the same token, its members CAN NOT watch TV and motion picture programs displaying similar content. #HYPOCRITCYATTHISFINESTANDWORST!

Has Anyone Had any JWs PHYSICALLY Put Their Hands On You (And Not Within A Family Unit Situation)?
by HiddlesWife ini was asking the above question because a pomo friend of my family told me about an incident involving her and a couple of dubs who were physically abusive in the past.. a single sister who was running around from one cong to another cong looking for a husband.
she was visiting my friend's cong for less than a year.
there was a commuter bethellite bro who was very friendly towards my friend (which i'll call her "q") and her fam members.

Wow, Wing Commander, you endured/experienced (sorry and excuse these 2 BorgTerms) a great deal within this cultcorporation. If this Fer was outside of it, he would have undoubtedly had this azz handed to him! It's really good that you are out and away from this evil organization!

Patterson, Wallkill, Warrick, Tuxedo, Ramapo
by HappyDad ini've been out for over 20 years and really can't keep up with the doctrinal and physical changes.
there have been so many construction projects, property sell-offs, and whatnot.
can someone clarify what exactly is in each city/town.

WarWITCH is also a good location for members of GB2.0 (and their Helpers) to AVOID plus HIDE away from any journalists (and perhaps exdubs) from trying to either interview or wanting to speak with them. A few years ago when Bethell was in Brooklyn Heights, ANTMO was approached by a journalist and ran into a door within one of the buildings on Columbia Heights. He obvi didn't want anyone speaking to him unless it was CERTAIN R&F members. This compound is FORTRESS and THE CURTAIN for this organization's leaders to hide behind.

I was asking the above question because a POMO friend of my family told me about an incident involving her and a couple of dubs who were physically abusive in the past.
A single sister who was running around from one cong to another cong looking for a husband. She was visiting my friend's cong for less than a year. There was a Commuter Bethellite bro who was very friendly towards my friend (which I'll call her "Q") and her fam members. This sister zeroed in on the friendly relationship Q and the bro had. Each time Q and the bro would conversate, this chick would try to interrupt them on a constant basis. It got so bad to the point that the girl would start arguments and was very confrontational to Q at every meeting and in field circus. In fact, she suddenly ran up to Q and shoved her, causing Q to fall down and scrape her knees! The cong's BOE was told since this was seen by a few other dubs. After the bitch saw that she was caught and an elduh or 2 was doing to speak with her, she left and was never heard from again.
Another incident was when a local-yocol brother tried to verbally harass one of Q's female cousins. He was pestering her because he wanted to date her. Q's cuz (I'll call her "Z") informed him that she was not interested in him. This happened for approximately 3 years. Z's parents [mother was PIMI and father was VZ (Visitor: a person who studied with the dubs, attended some KH meetings, CAs and RCs but did not progress to dedication nor baptism)] also informed him that their daughter was not interested and warned him to stay away from her. This bastard started yelling and pulled Z by her elbow. Q and Q's brother (now DA'd) pulled her back. He approached them and yelled in the male cousin's face but pushed Q down on the floor of the KH! The cong's BOE brought the MFer into a backroom meeting; unfortunately, very little was done about the fact that the freak physically harmed Q. A month or 2 later, Q's family along with Z's family left and changed congs.
I know that this is a long-drawn-out thread, but did anyone have encounters with CRAZY, MANIACAL dubs while you were in the cultcorporation?

What are Jehovah's Witnesses' stance on home ownership?
by timothytha inwhat do people usually think of when they buy a house?
"i will probably live here for a long time" (you're invested with your time), "i will save money by building equity over time".
(you've invested in yourself financially for the long run) of course, i wouldn't be able to list the numerous reasons why people want to buy a house.

HiddlesWife
@LongHairGirl=> I agree with what you posted about the dubs who now do not have anything financial to lean back on because of their listening and living their lives intently/exclusively for this cultcorporation. The Borg/WT wants them to give all of their $$$$ to them that would NORMALLY be given/paid for a house and other activities/ pursuits (higher education, hobbies, entertainment, and so forth). As the R&F/membership gets POORER and POORER, WT gets RICHER and RICHER, much more WEALTHIER by the minute; so much unlike other cults/ religions who want their members/parishioners to succeed in life (Scientology, Mormons, to name a few).

Miniimizing 'Punishment' - marrying a non-JW
by doasthouwilt ini’d like to marry my best friend of 30+ years, turned ‘secret’ girlfriend of 1 ½ years who is a jehovah’s witness, born into it, baptized and an active ‘pioneer’.
our marriage would happen prior to letting any of her jw friends and cohorts know that we are together.
once married she may simply come forward and ‘admit’ or we may wait until it’s found out – one way or the other, the reason for this marriage is not customary – i am hoping that by doing so she can avoid being ‘marked’ or possibly ‘disfellowshipped’ once our relationship is no longer a secret and due to our already being married at that point, there can be no notion from society elders about her ending the relationship.

In most cases, a disfellowshipping will ensue once found out by the nose of the elder body. Even before marriage, she can get caught with you in her house and be accused of fornication which is a disfellowshipping outcome. It would be by a nosey fellow JW who sees you too together.
That's very true in that some dubs who were seen being hugged by someone of the opposite sex were requested by their cong's BOEs and pulled into the backroom for a small JC. I know of a situation where this happened and the sister--who was quickly hugged by a coworker who drove her home from her job--was put on PRIVATE RESTRICTION/REPROOF for this happening. When it comes to the Borg/WT, ANY LITTLE THING sets them off!
