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

  by HiddlesWife in

  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🙄😤].

  The greatest revenge is living a happy & successful life!

  This is so true I think the best thing that any SJW can do is to be happy and successful and to show that they can live in even better life than when they are in a JW cult

  The same can be said for those of us who choose JW light and you choose to stay physically in mentally mentally agnostic PIMA

  They should be really good motivation to live the best life you can live avoid bad food to get fresh air drink clean water don’t smoke or drink or take drugs because that is what they expect you to do if you leave the congregation or leave the heavy part of the congregation and decide to be JW light

  607 members soon it will be 539

  I cannot for the life of me fathom why anybody would pay that fat slob of a man

  It’s actually very bad for him for the future having all these people sending him money

  He will have to get a job eventually, and if he can’t speak their language, what kind of job could he actually get in a country where he can’t speak the language?

  Unbaptised publishers

  by Mikejw in

  1. watchtower

  if a child grows up in a congregation to jw parents, they can go in the ministry even if they get to teenagers and they still haven’t become an unbaptised publisher they can still go on the ministry.

  if someone comes into the truth at an older age, they’re not allowed to go on the ministry until they are an unbaptised publisher only then can they put their first report in.

  what if the child grows into his late teens and he still hasn’t become an unbaptised publisher?

  what if the child grows into his late teens and he still hasn’t become an unbaptised publisher? What if he just continues coming to meetings going on the ministry but never becomes an unbaptised publisher? Is he allowed to go on the ministry on his own?

  What kind of pressure would he be put on to become an unbaptised publisher?

  JW light Elders?

  by Mikejw in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so many elders are now saying no to pretty much everything.. they are saying no to assignments and away talks.

  saying no to jobs in the cong.

  the cos and the super fine elders are using scripture and the elders manual to try to persuade them to step up.. many are coming off as an elder, but even more are simply saying the cost of living or other reasons they are just finding it hard to fulfill all their assignments.. if you say you want to come off the public talks list altogether they still try putting you down for some and making a fuss saying you have to give some public talks.

  Don’t they also know those lucky few need you to work hard so they can have a Rolex for every day of the week.

  they need you to work hard at your low paid jobs so you can pay extra for convention Hotels that the branch tell you to stay in, even though you are paying way above what you would pay if you booked yourself

  this is so the fat cats can have free hotel stays paid for by the Dubs

  if you say you want to come off the public talks list altogether they still try putting you down for some and making a fuss saying you have to give some public talks. But if the elder says no not at all. There is nothing they can do.

  some jobs need doing in the cong as last brother stepped down or moved on or something. Other elders look at the elders not doing much and say it has to be you. But if that elder simply says sorry no I’m not going to do it. Then he is told there is nobody else. He still says no. Contact the branch to send someone else but there is nobody else as there is a serious shortage of appointed men.

  then one of the few brothers who is already super busy has to do that job as well. They will be worn out soon and thinking this is not fair.

  the three brothers on the service committee have so much on their plate, but if other elders are JW light then not much can be done. This is why 21 year old are being appointed elders, but they are most JW light too.

  the CO always says this has to be done correctly and you brothers have to step up. But they simply say no sorry I can’t. I pioneered straight from school and got a cleaning job instead of getting qualified in something. Now I’m struggling to pay housing costs for my family.

  if only I got qualifications in something when I was younger I would not be struggling having to work such long hours at such low pay and having to work so much now??????

  This will keep escalating until both Iran and Israel resemble Gaza ruins.

  oil will go to hundreds of $ which means everything else will have very big inflation

  good job Jehovah’s new light is to put some money away for retirement now
