An intro to my experience

by drippee in

good evening,.

i had an old account a few years back but since then have had a lot happen to me.

i grew up in the faith, pioneered, did everything i could to keep my parents and peers off of my back, but nothing seemed to be enough to satisfy them.

It sounds to me like you are just inactive and nothing been announced. You have successfully faded. Well done, many tried and failed then things are ruined for them. This is great, you will not be shunned if you were living with a girlfriend or smoking or something else that goes against their rules, as you are not know as a witness. You would be viewed as an interested person and get invited to gatherings and BBQs.

you can use this to your advantage and have the best of both worlds. Go to gatherings parties and give them hope you may return to Jehovah one day.

you can easily become JWlite now and have contact with JWs. You will be love bombed when you go back but be very careful not to say anything like you want to come back ‘in the truth’ you are still undecided as far as they need to know, be very careful what you say.

give them a little hope that you May become a believer again but you need time. You can milk this indefinitely if you want.

watch the latest Feb broadcast there is a section near then the new original song showing different ones who were inactive for years and then shows some who were reactivated but you don’t want to let this happen just get the love bombing going on for an indefinite period of time it’s like eating the bait without getting caught on the hook.

in the music video one chap who becomes inactive for years is called on by two elders, he invites them in for a chat and possibly leads them on. They invite him back to a meeting and he gets love bombed beyond measure.

why not try it and please let us know how it goes? You can stay JWlite indefinitely and have the best of both worlds. Eat the bait without getting caught in the trap.

I understand why this U turn clog shit mandates is tried to be kept quiet for Cos only. Surely this will make many wake up.

at the time many had questions about these jabs but trusted they were safe purely on what the GB said, now it seems the GB are doubtful about the direction from Jehovah

but how will everyone know there has been this U turn if only COs got the memo?

Where is Tony?

on february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.

a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.

in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.

it may be a long time before the facts are revealed.

But what about his family? Didn't Tony have a son who was a CO? Has anyone heard anything about his sons and their families? Or have they also disappeared.

Even if it’s after his death from alcoholism the facts will come out.

At least one of his sons claimed to be anointed and is high up in bethel. Another son and wife graduated gilded and was given the white envelope by Tony himself I remember he was handed them all out and gave his black daughter in law a hug and kiss

I never thought of that aspect before. The more people get jabbed the more funds get donated in wills.

This has actually happened in my congregation and the older ones may still be alive if they didn’t take the clog shots.

Enjoy hope without disappointment

by Mikejw in

todays watchtower is very interesting on many levels.

they know that millions are disappointed.. https://www.jw.org/finder?srcid=jwlshare&wtlocale=e&prefer=lang&docid=2023681.

i also found it interesting they talk about brother fred franz and show his picture.

Pete that goes both ways. Some people are lost at sea have no hope no idea about the big questions in life.

I have come full circle. Used to be theistic now agnostic with hope that there is some truth to the Bibles promises. I’m content and happy and settled.

I maintain it’s better to have hope than no hope. Being lost at sea is no hope. Once you are comfortable and content in that we don’t know for certain if intelligent design was involved at the origin of everything.

This is why I like the watchtower title, hope without disappointment. I think the JW hope will have disappointment. My hope has the best of both worlds and I can’t lose.

What is really sad is long time JWs or other die hard belief systems on their deathbed realising they were deceived all their time in that belief system. That is so devastating.

On my deathbed I won’t be full of regrets that I believed something untrue. I will be optimistic and excited to see what happens after death even if it’s nothing which I hope it’s not, but at least I wasn’t delusional and deceived

Whoever gets the scoop on ToMo3 will have a ton of views. It’s only a matter of time, he can’t hide inside forever.

This is why the silence is deafening.

They can’t just pretend he was never on the gb and hope people can forget him. They tried to delete every picture and video but the longer it goes on the worse it will be when the truth comes out which is inevitable.

Lloyd is old news going down hill fast, there are many great new xjw activists on the up and up

Yes I think most COBEs are all follow the direction to be pro vax. I don’t think any will forget direction. Once some direction is in place that is the way things are done unless further direction from the GB.

So if only the CO has had this U turn direction then he has to tell all congregations individually before next KM school.

All those elders who were not allowed to attend because they are not fully vaccinated will assume they can’t go to the next one either unless they hear there has been a U turn on the policy

Door to Door

by pontoon in

just wondering if the witnesses still go door to door.

once in a while i see them doing their cart work and my still in relatives talk about going out in cart work, never mention door to door.

i haven't had a knock on my door since probably 2 years before covid.

Tonus in the UK and other GDPR lands we are not allowed to write anything down. Unless someone asks us to write down to be a DNC then we write down lots of details and it is stored. This is because someone asked us to.
