Hi Magnum,
Excellent posts! I too was awakened by the "generation" teaching. Unfortunately not until the current "overlapping" nonsense. 35 years a Watchtower Slave for me....
i bought a book that was published by one brother in our area.
the title, if only, the brother didnt change his name he is, alex bogdanov, to support this brother i bought his book.
it is fiction about couples and i didnt think nothing of it, but after reading a few chapters one of the characters is an ex jw, i don’t think this character is disfellowshipped in the book, but she is definitely not active.
Hi Magnum,

i'm pimo, very much against disfellowshipping, and going to a meeting leaves me feeling confused and angry at the best of times.
except an elder asked me on thursday night if i can start giving a ride to a disfellowshipped woman because she lives near me and nobody else from the hall lives in my village.
it seems the elder and his family who have been giving this woman a ride for the past six months can no longer stomach the time it takes them to go out of their way.. i thought all normal publishers weren't to have any contact with disfellowshipped people?
You could tell the elder that you need to talk to the Circuit Overseer to make sure this arrangement is approved by the Org........
i met a wonderful man on match.com several months ago.
on our first date, there was amazing chemistry and we ended up having sex.
it was not planned, it just happened.
And the wheel goes 'round and 'round for another 100 posts.......
it's that time of year again.. trying to decide if i should or shouldn't.
:-).
Hi NikL,
Just wondering why you would want to partake?

Didn't mean to offend Sunny Bear or Giordano. But seriously folks, how many times can we keep giving the same recycled responses to SB? Either she will appreciate the advice and try to go forward or she will give another "update" of how she really likes the comments but still chooses to stay in an abusive relationship with this clown.... and then repeat the whole process again and again and again.........
i posted this on r/exjw, but i thought i might post it here as well.
so the elders in our kh are moving to get us to sign new simplified blood cards and keep them on file.
i really need to not rock the boat in my current pimo status because of circumstances.. my cousin knows i have doubts about the blood thing, but i can’t show her that my doubts are getting to me.
dubstepped is right. There is definitely a trade-off happening here. In your attempt to remain a PIMO (which I totally understand, for fear of losing your family I assume), you don't want to be "sniffed out".
However, in a medical emergency, you will either be exposed then or possibly die as a result of having an updated Blood Card on file at the KH.
Best advice is to shine the elders on until they get distracted by other things as some commenters have already said.....

I believe smiddy3 is correct. This is obviously a troll. Shut it down now, or it will go on for days.........
oh wow!.
the feb2018 broadcast is an absolute masterclass in cult manipulation, and a prime example of the high control nature of the society!.
if you haven't watched it, be prepared for some really disturbing stuff, especially as they address children, and guilt them into jw activity.
Hi Pete,
Well, I was going to put in my 2 cents on the thread but I see you have checked all the boxes of what I was going to say.
The whole experience of the Doctor just about made me vomit...
there has always been less emphasis on jesus, and more on the name jehovah.
if jesus played for the wtbts baseball team, he would play right field.
he would be good enough to start but by playing right field, he wouldn't see too many baseballs hit his way.
I also agree with Carla. The Org by means of the GB have tried to take the place of Jesus by inserting themselves as the Mediator between humans and Almighty God.

Hi R&R,
J.F. Rutherford had to draw a line in the sand to differentiate the Org now under his control from the Bible Students. Enter 1931- the name "Jehovah's Witnesses" is born.
Especially from that point forward, Rutherford began implementing changes to set the new Org apart from Russell's old Org. Henceforth, a slow demise of Jesus...
