Some of those events on my list no doubt were still MIPO mentally in physically out.

One of the incidents the sister who took a gun and killed her adult children then her husband then killed herself. Oh she also killed the dog.

she wrote in her suicide note that she wanted to kill herself but didn’t want her family to go through that so decided to kill them all as well, and then she said they would understand in the resurrection.

yes if you are mentally still in then you believe you will wake up in the new world immediately after you die.

So this sets a pattern others mentally in and struggling with mental health problems may think why not end this suffering and just go straight to the new world, I mean if it’s true then why wait?

and then just like that sister you think about the effect on your loved ones if you kill yourself, well why not give them a fast track to paradise as well?????

This has been the teaching of many a cult responsible for many deaths

just shows how dangerous cult teaching can be.

Most children of Jehovah's Witnesses followers in Japan have been whipped, survey shows

by Rattigan350 in

https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/03/15/national/jehovahs-witnesses-whipping/.

the most cited reason was “napping or talking during congregations.” others included “answering back to parents” and “playing with a schoolmate.”.

some respondents said they have been suffering depression as a result of whipping.. “i still cannot forget the sight of children screaming after they were taken into a large room at a congregation when i was a child,” a 44-year-old victim said, stressing that jehovah’s witnesses should reflect on what followers have done.. in february, a group of lawyers started supporting those second-generation followers.. in a statement issued on march 1, the japanese branch of jehovah’s witness said it does not accept child abuse.. https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20230315/p2a/00m/0na/006000c.

Silicon Valley Bank bankruptcy....

by mikeflood in

didn't know silicon valley bank was so important for start-ups....now there's some sort of contagion, people taking their money from regional banks to the big banks.

.

system seems pretty resilient and different from 2008. thoughts?.

The same people saying the injections were safe and effective are now coming on TV saying the banks are safe and effective and your deposits are safe 🤣

what at was the answer to the problem of too much debt in 2008? More debt that’s what the answer was.

it just postponed the problem and made it worse

now the van has hit the wall

no more kicking the can

blondie5 days ago

I was reading about PIMI, PIMO, POMO, PIMA, I figure PIMA is really OM, out mentally if they acknowledge to themselves they are agnostic. Then when the picket fence gets so high, then they have to re-evaluate their "stance" on being agnostic, can they stay or is it time to leave physically.

Blondie Where I am right now is very happy sitting on the fence. It’s taken years to get here and now I’m at the acceptance stage.

I am comfortable with not knowing the entire truth and I really am at peace with that.

On these very forums there are some atheists and some who do believes the Bible, there is a lot of confusion but I’m very wary of those who talk as if they definitely know the truth.

Statements like “evolution has been proven now” just makes someone kind like an uneducated idiot

I don’t think any of us know the truth and if we are all honest we would admit this.

I love the Bible I think it’s beneficial to study it. Is there more to the story? Yes absolutely. Does anyone know the entire truth? Absolutely not.

I genuinely enjoy going to meetings and having associations even going on the ministry groups (even though we only do ten mins these days)

I suspect the Governing body are wrong about many things but they could be right about some things none of us can say for sure.

I am happy being physically in and mentally agnostic. Living the best life I can enjoying the congregation but I suspect I will grow old as Armageddon won’t be coming in my life.

If I’m wrong and the witnesses were right (unlikely) then even their doctrine allows for those sitting on the fence as long as they are inside to jump that side of the fence last minute 🤣

Bethel Tours restarting

by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

the org is always so late.

i remember the last in person meetings before went to zoom, none of us were wearing facemasks and i thought why is the org so late with this.

they just announced older ones shouldn’t come but most large organisations had already stopped in person.

What about Some lists of the movers and shakers in London Bethel over the years?

does anyone remember Jack Dowson? He was always known for his drinking whiskey like it bear. Bevan Vigo who looked like an insect and was always talking about them.

Dennis Dutton who looked like he was pregnant

In Bethel office there was Steve Morris and the others

Phil Marsh was always overseer of the dinning room and he was another one who had a Rolex for every day of the week.

They could all take one of the Bethel cars and disappear somewhere for long times

They received the Carl Olof Jonsson correspondence and research materials and, to me, didn't handle it as would a group who really loved truth.

What is this about?
