Never had a crazy JW-related dream until today

by onightdivine in

in my dream a while ago, the wt had already started "encouraging" everyone to contribute 30. either it meant at least 30 hours of "preaching" or 30% tithe.

the next scene is when we all stood up for the opening song at the kh, and lo and behold - the opening lyrics went on like (this is vague but you'll understand the context anyway):.

what a privilege it is to serve the kingdom.

Join in the worldwide work

Have we all exerted efforts

And unselfishly gave our 30.... ?

At this point everyone just looked at each other with an embarrassed "what the heck was that about" smile. I'm not making this up but yay, that was a crazy insane dream.

Anyone else have similar experiences to share?

Really, what's with the huge rings they're wearing???????? They don't look any different from the "worldly materialistic religious leaders" that they always mock. Hypocrites.

How many of you left the Org since 2015?

by Paul Bonanno in

jw
friends

i have noticed that many lately have left the org or are in the process of leaving.

how many of you have left since 2015?.

this month will be my 21 years out of the org into the road of freedom.

onightdivine

Amazing to see many woke up this year. Yay!

(That's why I thought there were a lot of new names here when I came back/logged in after a year.)

We missed you at the meetings

by punkofnice in

a vomit inducing comment.. i asked why do they have to specify 'meetings'?

they never miss us in tesco or the showcase cinema bar.. in their defence, a friend of mine said: 'that's because the meeting is where they normally would see you.'.

well, if they want to see you they can arrange a meal out or something.

onightdivine

No one really cares. No one really MISSES someone. It's more like, "we had a truly meaty spiritual feast.. too bad you weren't there!"

If my experience is similar to some of you here, some "concerned" sister or brother will ask you out for coffee or dinner, talk about what the issue is.. some are fine, some are too preachy but in the end, they will count their hours on you. That hurts. I am sad but I lost almost all my trust in most of them, even the pioneer sisters.

Mobile Hotspot - JWFACTS.COM - Assembly & Conventions

by thedepressedsoul in

here is an idea i tested.

works at both assemblies and conventions.

i have noticed at the last convention and at my last assembly that when i opened up my wifi setting, tons of hotspots came up for people tethering their tablets to their smart phones.

@konceptual99, I agree with you but knowing how extremely unreasonable

(c r a z y) they've become, I don't know what else they can do.

My only concern with this is if the assembly is only for a few hundred people in relatively small venue. Some overzealous brothers might get an idea to triangulate where the wifi signal is coming from.

4 Dirty Psychological "Tricks" Used by Bad Leaders

by onightdivine in

https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/cutting-edge-leadership/201510/4-dirty-psychological-tricks-used-bad-leaders.

1. in-group/out-group bias.

2. demanding unquestioning obedience to authority.

onightdivine

The word "cult" itself leads most deep believers to cover their ears and scram. I truly hope they notice just even 1 of the tricks or lies being used by the GB to control their lives.

And I just want to share that the God I knew and loved before I became a JW was more kind and loving than the God the GB has been portraying all these years.
