since the move, it has been so enjoyable to not have jw's breathing down our necks asking why we didn't make the meeting, or having to pretend to be "spiritual" in front of family all the time.. 90% of my week is virtually stress free.
then, my mom calls or texts wanting to talk to her grandkids.
every dang call, she asks about the new congregation, if we went to the meeting, etc.. why can't i tell her to fk off?
Set up your phone with a recording that says;
"The Network is down, please try your call later"
Then send her a letter saying that she will have to write if she wants to communicate because the phone in your area has lots of problems with out of town calls.
Letter writing takes long and will limit her.
my mom especially had some go-to phrases that to this day echo in my head and piss me off.
things like, .
"don't get mad at me for enforcing the rules, because jehovah made them, so if you don't like it, you're disrespecting him.
"The worst Jehovah's Witness is better than the best worldly person."
there is a visitor brother in town and from what ive been told, he has been a missionary for many years and they were having a get together for him.
i took my mom to that get-together yesterday and stayed for a few minutes.
i heard a group around a table with the visitor brother talking about how hard it was getting in the world with so many distractions and that many of the brothers were falling into the trap and leaving jehovahs organization.
Billy the Ex-Bethelite
"The little one will become a mighty nation... then it will become a little one again.
ha ha!!!!!!
i'll try to keep this short.
my experience at the hall is elders not really engaging in friendship building communication with anyone.
the only time they really communicate with you is to counsel you or tell you where you need to make adjustments.
Yes, I was an elder and that's exactly what I did.
ok....well it s now or never!.

JW's abandoning their faith probably gave 80% of them a hard on to jump at the chance to prove their "faith"
How do you jump with a hard on? (With lots of faith)

He came out with it so quickly, makes me wonder if this is what the society is actually planning for?

but that contradicts all their boasting about "speeding up the work, expansion, the celestial chariot moving at speed, preaching in over 200 plus lands etc"
Curses, I forgot about that point
if an (aggressive) real estate fund is stopping it's operations directly,.
and if an publishing house is minimize the portfolio,.
and if a member of it's board of directors is telling the costs are higher then the profits,.
I don’t believe they have a financial problem. They have billions not millions and a large volunteer army who would fall on a grenade for the organization.
I wouldn’t even be surprised if the GB are just as much in the dark as the dubs, perhaps just one step above in what’s actually happening.
These guys are shrewd. They haven’t stayed in business over 100 years selling invisible crap because they were dumb. They know how to play the game of deception and they play it well. They wave their hand in front of your face and while your attention is on their hand, they kick you in the balls.
We will find out as time goes on.
