Doubting, you may have some things you do you call worshiping Jehovah but you are not a JW. If you are an actual JW in good standing and baptized, go to meetings ect, you are not talking to the elders about your feelings. If you are and you did you would be on your ass out the door. That is just a fact. Now if you want to argue you believe in god and you think his name is Jehovah that is something very different and you can believe what ever you want. But I highly doubt you are a JW.

First off poindexter you can not be a JW and not believe the GB is giving out "gods truth". Its just that simple, You can not say you are a JW and be a JW. If you really are I have my doubts, go to your local hall get several elders in a meeting and tell them you think the GB is senile and you don't follow them, If you are a JW and baptized you are out on your ear in a NY second.

HAHAHAHAHA OP is a shill or mental. You don't follow the GB and say you are a JW, that is as crazy a thing as saying, I like communism I just don't like government control. This has to be one of the most delusional thing one can say. To make it official crazy put it on Tic tok

Can you get disfellowship for kissing a person of the same sex?
by pistolpete ini found this on exjwreddit.
a pimo elder is in the middle of an event where a former co allegedly kissed a brother from another hall.. the co denied it so the other elders are frustrated because they can't have a judicial meeting.
if true, can he be disfellowshipped?

I am assuming you are not referring to the double cheek kiss that they do in some countries as a greeting. But if two people of the same sex give a lip kiss that is obviously sensual then they are going to get a meeting. It may start with a couple of elders but if its not explained away by a misjudgment or greeting kiss or some such thing then its off to a judicial meeting. That will not fly in any group of elders. Unless you are about to be removed as an elder for not following the rules. That is the way it is.

BS on nothing happening, Unless this cult has taken a complete 180 since I left. You get caught kissing as in passionate kiss with the same sex as you, you are going to a back room with three elders.That is just the way at least it was. Even kissing between couples as in making out is not going to be suffered without at least a talking to.

Annual service report - yet another analysis - big trouble for the WTS
by FFGhost inthere's already been a couple of threads on the 2021 report with insightful comments, but i'm vain enough to want to start my own topic with some additional thoughts..... as others on the other thread noted, it's useful to compare the 2021 numbers not only to 2020 but also 2019 (the last non-pandemic report).. there are some really troubling (if you're a wt headquarters guy) news in the latest report.. 1) baptisms plummet.
2021 - 171,393. baptisms dropped 20% in 2020, and 30% more in 2021. the total drop from 2019 to 2021 is an amazing 44%.. one could argue that without in-person assemblies and conventions you'd expect baptisms to drop.
but....if someone really wants to get baptized, jws will find a way.

Lloyd Evans going off air for mental health
by mickbobcat ini don't agree with evans on lots of things.
he seems to be a person who dove into the whole woke crap thing.
on the jws i agree with him most of the time but that goes without saying.

I don't agree with Evans on lots of things. He seems to be a person who dove into the whole woke crap thing. On the JWS I agree with him most of the time but that goes without saying. His video on YouTube he put up was not very smart. IMO you don't tell people you are leaving for mental health and getting treatment. The idiots in the cult will use this to say all his videos are mentally off. No one needs to know anyone else's mental health if they are not a very close friend or relative.
Just say you are taking a sabbatical to spend some time with your family. Everyone will understand and you don't give the enemy any ammo. Unless he is fishing to keep his patrons out of sympathy. But IMO the less people know about situations in your life the less they have to throw back at you. I don't think this was wise.
