  2. scandals

  feb broadcast they have a drama about someone who works with a colleague who is gay.. they actually make it sound like the jws are the only ones who support him and is tolerant of him and everyone else is against him🤣.

  after all these years they try gaslighting and saying we are the ones who are tolerant and everyone else is not!!!.

  you couldn’t make this up.. after this monumental u turn now, what about all the gay people who were born in’s who have been shunned by their own family?.

  In the past JWs meeting gay people would clearly show on their faces what they were brainwashed to think.

  no way they would treat a gay couple as they would treat a straight couple.

  now this U turn changes everything, from now JWs should treat a gay couple even nicer than they would a worldly straight couple?

  we know how JWs go over the top when they get new directions from the blumbling body.

  I can see JWs going out of their way to smile and be super nice to gay people they meet!!

  Reddit thread - ‘Organization Finally Suggesting to Plan for Retirement’

  this information is supposed to be in the upcoming march wt.

  (i don’t go on jw dot org).

  it would sound like they are hinting at a change in thinking.. in my opinion, any such change would be yet another slap in the face to faithful pimis along with those other recent changes.. there are so many heartfelt responses on that thread and a lot of justified anger.. don’t know what to say except that i’m so glad i never listened to the religion all those years ago.

  Some middle to older aged born ins are now very bitter and resentful of the those who made them believe the end would have come by now. Most of those who said that are dead now.

  I am one of those who was brainwashed into believing there wasn’t much time left, I feel such an immense sense of regret for sacrificing career choices due to the belief that the end was right around the corner.

  the watchtower clearly said in this millennium which meant before the year 1999. Now they actually changed it to say in our lifetimes.

  1999 was far off when I was in school and I was made to believe I wouldn’t leave school in this old system.

  I could have gone to uni and had a chance of a good career. Instead I got a cleaning job and put all my energy into working for free for the fat old men in NY.

  Now many like me are really struggling with housing, cost of living crisis.

  I’m f-ing furious that they gas light and try to make it sound like they always said save and invest for the future.

  no they fucking didn’t when I should have been doing that🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

  There is no doubt about it there is a shortage of brothers willing to work for free. There were sisters doing mics and other things which highlighted the problem.

  the new light came out about using younger brothers instead. Now you get 3 foot high boys doing mics and things instead of sisters

  The gaslighting is serious with this U turn.

  They could have done their new light thing and said it’s new light, and say in the past we have said this about the LGBT community and now after prayerful thought we have this new understanding…….

  but instead they are trying their most often used trick of gaslighting. They are trying to make it sound like they have always been the ones who treat LGBT better than those evil people in Satans world.

  In the video the sister even says that her gay co worker comes upto her and thanks her for being so tolerant when others were not……

  JW Vaccine mandate: The contrast between voices of reason and confusion

  i was reading an intriguing post on the exjw reddit, a forum i do not with to sign up for, as i'm not interested in the internal politics of reddit.

  https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/1hwlja8/the_governing_bodys_letter_that_shook_bethel_and/.

  another post counteracted this one, driven by the "conspiracy theory" card.

  With the new Trump administration and Kennedy going to be highlighting the truth about the vaccine companies, what will the GB say?

  they could say Satans world is now lying that the vaccines were not safe and effective like Jehovah told us they were. David Splain actually said “would Jehovah let the GB take the vaccines if it was harmful?”

  they either admit that this is not a spirit directed organisation or they double down on that Jehovah was right to give direction to be fully vaccinated

  Yes it must be so difficult for him seeing his ex family having a new step dad sleeping in his old bedroom presumably.

  now he is all alone in a terrible bedsit with thin walls and all his neighbours are also losers like him.

  places like that are filled with of alcoholism and drug addiction as a means to escape the depression

  He actually says the words that his daughters dont need him so much, he sort of says he was there for them but now he has to let them go and he says the words detach !

  he is realising they won’t want anything to do with him when they are old enough to learn about the sex workers

  it seems to me this new step dad will be push Lardy boy out of the picture sooner than we think.

  he will move back to the Uk

  It really is astonishing that they have been able to keep a lid on the largest ever secret in modern JW scandals.

  what really is the truth about why he was booted out and what is the situation now?

  is he still a JW? I doubt he is attending a meeting near those two homes that were bought for him otherwise someone would have visited and got pictures of him.

  if he is attending a congregation somewhere then pictures would have got out by now.

  I live in hope that sometime in the future we will get nearer the truth about the entire scandal.

  surely someone knows something and the truth always comes out eventually
