  What is the pulse of active JW‘s?

  by SouthCentral in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there has been a lot recent small changes that could be considered earth shattering for some… how are the longtime witnesses reacting?.

  the typical response has to be thankfulness that jehovah is shedding light and refining them for the end of the world….

  the witness, who’s a thinker has to be frustrated with wasting decades… is the lightbulb coming on for more pimi’s?.

  Are JW's a Social Experiment ?

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when a person looks at the sheer volume of watchtower lies, denial of salvation, free labor, false prophecies, misrepresentations, gas-lighting and falsehoods about everything and anything, it makes me wonder if it's one big test to see how gullible people can be.

  there was as social experiment in the 1960's that tested how far people were willing to administer an increasing dose of electric shock if directed to do so by an authority figure.

  shockingly, people were willing to give lethal doses to their neighbors.

  JWs can toast now….what’s next

  by FFGhost in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so you can see from multiple topics here (& elsewhere), based on gb update #4, jws now have permission to toast.. there’s been a boatload of “xyz is now allowed” over the past couple of years….beards, no ties in field service or at the kh, sister can wear pants at the kh & in field service…... what do you think is next?.

  a lot of folks are speculating on birthday celebrations being allowed, and i agree that will eventually come, but i don’t think it is next.

  too big of a jump.. heres my guess:.

  by NotFormer in

  in the light of the lifting of sanctions on glass clinking and recent threads on chess and dvds of lord of the rings, was there anything you did for fun, as a hobby or for recreational purposes that you felt might be "taken the wrong way" if it came to the attention of the elders or sister busybody?.

  SPIMI Friend Asked Me For The Name Of My (FORMER) Congregation

  by HiddlesWife in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a present-spimi friend texted me to ask me the name of my congregation--which is my former and last one that i left right after becoming completely/presently pomo.

  she was a longtime buddy, who was pimq-pimo-ppimi-on-occasion for many decades.

  then shortly before the pandemic, she was dating a brother who was reaching out to become an ms [mind you, this guy was a mic-handler for several decades as well--until an older brother (who was a close friend of his uncle--who converted him into the cultporation years ago--encouraged him to the point of harrassing him to move up the wt corporate ladder🙄😤].

  Reddit thread Warning young JWs that ‘Spiritual Goals’ are Not a Career!

  by LongHairGal in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as somebody who worked full-time when i was in the witness religion, this topic naturally caught my eye.. many of the responses are heartfelt.

  there are about 90 at this point.

  from what i read so far.. many are people who woke up before they got old but even these are resentful over their life being derailed with wasted time pursuing spiritual goals and having to start over at a later age getting an education/job.. i imagine born-in young jws would be most susceptible to this.. in today’s world, a ‘career’ is something that earns you a living.. as many of the responses there will say: anybody who pursues ‘spiritual goals’ only will end up with wasted time in the end with no money and no retirement plan… i couldn’t agree more.. it would be a shame if this happens to yet more jws..

  i was reading the march 2025 wt today, and i notice this: "march 2025 p. 29 jehovah’s hand is not too short p.29-31 (retirement, but qualified statement) (notice , it is not wrong, but, in the end we must rely on their god.

  retirement is alluded to as "making the quest for material things the focus of our life.

  " are we confident that their god will provide (why have retirement then?

  Verdict on the 2025 convention

  by gavindlt in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  final thoughts after 15 hours of the 2025 assembly.

  after dedicating 15 hours to the 2025 assembly, i walked away with a heavy sense of spiritual emptiness.

  the only part that managed to stir anything within me was a single video on day one titled “what does jesus see in you?”—a piece with sentimental appeal, but still surface-level at best.. .
