  by eyeslice in

  the watchtower has always banged on about not pursuing worldly careers and that best career was 'theocratic service.

  but now i am wondering what line they will take.

  let's have look at the options;.

  They better have a plan and some phone numbers on speed dial. The congregations are ALREADY filled with needy people

  What Congregations???

  They haven't had a meeting in over a year. And from what I hear, it might be another year or two before they start having meetings at the local congregation,

  Imagine a Bethelite who is sent home. Told by the Governing Body to go where the need is great.

  BUT-----There's no more preaching door to door so what great need?????

  Where are the Bethelites going to go if they are sent home???
  

  -------They wish!!!!!!

  Single Pretty Girls that are JWs, have so much potential, but sadly........

  the pandemic has made the situation worse for single young jw girls.. i'm hearing tons of sad stories of single jw girls who are going, or have gone into deep depression.

  with many having thoughts of committing suicide and hoping for a better life in the new order.. the pandemic has made it almost impossible for young jw girls to find a suitable marriage mate.

  especially since the single jw boys-men want young, gorgeous, thin, virgins, who look like models and summit to the headship arrangement.

  The Pandemic has made the situation WORSE FOR SINGLE YOUNG JW GIRLS.

  I'm hearing tons of sad stories of single Jw girls who are going, or have gone into deep depression. With many having thoughts of committing suicide and hoping for a better life in the New Order.

  The Pandemic has made it almost impossible for young jw girls to find a suitable marriage mate. Especially since the single JW boys-men want Young, Gorgeous, Thin, Virgins, who look like Models and summit to the headship arrangement.
  

  This reddit post reminded me that all young girls in the WT organization are at the mercy of narcissistic jw boys who have been groomed by the Governing Body to view women as second rated pieces of property to be used for their advancement.

  Today I was told a story by my gorgeous (seriously, she’s really pretty), smart, single girlfriend.
  Well-meaning married couples in cities all over America (maybe Canada too?) are helping single sisters meet single Bethel boys virtually. It can’t be too obvious, of course. But there are virtual social nights, trivia nights, happy hours, movie nights, etc with a mix of married and single people.
  During one of these virtual events hosted by a married couple, my friend met a single Bethel guy. Side note: there were only 2 single guys at this virtual event. So it seems that the ratio of single guys to single girls at Witness events hasn’t improved much even though it’s on zoom. Sigh.
  This Bethel guy is in his late-30’s, attended an Ivy League, drinks expensive wine and has a high-profile job at headquarters. (let’s talk about his Ivy League education another time)
  After the virtual event, Bethel dude got my friend’s number from the host and started reaching out to her.
  My friend wasn’t physically attracted to this dude but she decided she shouldn’t be shallow and instead, try to keep an open mind. When he invited her to his public talk (PT) a few weeks later, she agreed. He had been invited to be a guest speaker and she had heard that she is a great speaker.
  So on the day of Bethel dude’s PT, she signs on to zoom. It’s not her hall so she introduces herself to this cong, etc. etc. Much to her horror, she begins to realize that she is not the only single sister that he has invited to watch him give his talk. He has invited, wait for it... TEN other single sisters from all over the country to watch him give his talk.
  Why do I think this is bad behavior? Your answer might depend on where you are on the scale of PIMO, PIMI, PIMP (the last one is my own; you’re “in” but you’re “p!ssed”).
  If I had heard this story five years ago, I would have barely batted an eye. I was totally used to single boys and especially single Bethelites boys treating women like a commodity, a way to establish status, maybe even clout. Let’s keep in mind in the JW world, Bethelites are our version of A-listers. To me, this Bethel dude used my gorgeous friend and 10 other single women to establish his status and clout to this random cong that he was visiting as a guest speaker. He needed to establish his status as an A-lister in this org. It’s A-Rod showing up at some sporting event with 11 hot supermodels, just because he can.
  Like most of you, I have so many stories. I’ve started a blog called: gettinghappyagain.com where I use writing (while laughing, crying, and everything in between) to begin my own recovery process. Since I get asked this a lot, I’ve also compiled a list of book recommendations that have helped me during various stages of PIMO, PIMI, PIMP.
  Anyone else have stories about Bethel Boys Behaving Badly? If there are any Bethel boys reading this, what do you think about my take? — too harsh, not harsh enough?

  What’s Your View On Self Defense?

  by minimus in

  if someone comes to you with a knife or a gun, would you defend yourself if you could?

  if someone tried to beat you up , would you physically engage, run away or just try to talk the person out of beating you up or robbing you?

  if you did have a gun to defend yourself would you shoot to kill or would you simply aim for the ankle to incapacitate the person?

  As former Jws for many of us, we need remember that Jehovah is not going to protect us from EVIL PEOPLE.
  

  Our life and the lives of our family is in Our Hand!
  

  IF YOU ARE NOT CAPABLE OF ABSOLUTE CRUELTY, THEN YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY A VICTIM TO ANYONE WHO IS.

  IF YOU ARE NOT CAPABLE OF TOTAL ABSOLUTE VIOLENCE, THEN YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY A VICTIM TO ANYONE WHO IS.

  THIS IS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN!

  maybe someone has already brought this up, but a news article i ran across:.

  https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/03/health/churches-covid-1918-lesson-wellness/index.html.

  brings a question to my mind.

  I’m young, physically fit to the max, taller than the average TALL American, taken BJJ for around 5 years, been a bodybuilder for years,

  But I will never engage someone in a fight. It’s just not worth it.

  First of all, no one ever bothers me because my girl tells me I look like a freaking polar bear dressed in pants and boots.

  Second of all, I never hang around stupid people, or go to stupid places, at stupid times.

  Third of all, I am a legal CCW. So If I pull out my weapon, it’s to END A DEADLY THREAT. And I don’t miss.

  If someone breaks into my home-------they've broken in Mr. and Mrs John Wick's home. ⚰⚰

  i can't believe william shatner is 90 years old but doesn't look like other 90 year olds that i've met.

  is it genetic?

  is it lifestyle.
