  i was recently in the company of a jw.

  this is a long time devout jw and i served them a meal.

  i was surprised by their reaction, they simply sat down, grabbed a fork and began shoveling???

  Ages of each user here?

  by ukpimo in

  i'm interested to know the age demographics here.

  it must be significantly different to other exjw forums.

  it would be a damning report for watchtower if most of us appear to have left for decades.. you don't have to mention your exact age, you could always say "in my 50s".. i am in my 70s.

  WATCHTOWER's RTO (Remote translation offices) like this one are million dollar luxury locations

  by Terry in

  more than 60 percent of our full-time translation teams work, not at branch offices, but at remote translation offices (rto).

  why is this arrangement beneficial?

  what equipment do translators need in order to work effectively at an rto?

  Prediction: no more changes for a long while

  by slimboyfat in

  2. beliefs

  i’ve noticed a pattern where things don’t go the way i expect them to go and/or whenever i realise there is a trend and, i mentally adjust for the idea that the trend will continue, the trend stops in its tracks.

  so on that basis, and given many people, including myself, and active jws, have been asking ‘what changes will the governing body make next?’ perhaps the (disappointing) answer is: ‘nothing much for a while to come’.

  maybe they’ve made the changes they want for now, and will wait a while and see how it’s received.

  The latest rumor going around is they relaxed the dress code and shaving mentality, so they will not stand out among the worldly people during the GT.

  If the org. Is being advised by consultants, is a name change in the works?

  by nowwhat? in

  let's be honest, there's a stigma to the name jehovah's witness.

  if they are going more mainstream.

  i imagine the first recommendation was a name change.

  Since your birthday is in reality an anniversary of your one “birth” day, I can seeing them very soon declaring this “anniversary “ as acceptable to celebrate within reasonable conditions.

  June 2024 WT: Don't talk about Anthony Morris

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  the latest study edition mentions hypothetical scenarios of jws who are no longer serving at bethel or no longer elders, etc.

  and says we shouldn't speculate, as defaming them could border on slander.. we could unintentionally defame someone by spreading negative information.

  ..... would it be proper to speculate on the reasons why these adjustments were made and to share that opinion with others?.

  Next year the memorial will be called the Easter Memorial to more align with mainstream churches and get some “accidental” attendees.

  Lines you would never hear from a Jehovah's Witness

  a slightly tongue in cheek, but also serious roundup of jw speak and why trying to reason with them is like trying to chip through concrete with a plastic spoon.. how many can you think of??.

  elder: 'yes.

  i read through the material you asked me to at your judicial meeting - you're right we're both in a cult!

  the toll of being PIMO

  by enoughisenough in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  for those of you who are pimo, how do you feel it may be effecting your mental and physical health?

  is it easy to pretend to be what you are not?

  how do you feel about falsely supporting the pimi which builds them up and therefore an org you don't believe in?

  In the 80,s I was on a countdown to when the Generation lie would collapse and thought this would bring the Society down like a house of cards. When it was changed I thought this is when most would wake up. This was when I realized ,it really is a cult, plain and simple.
