  just to give you guys an update on mine and my son’s exit from the matrix.

  my son put on his instagram page he was no longer a jw and wished everyone a merry christmas.

  🎄💥😳the blocks/unfollows came thick and fast.

  I would advise caution.

  Why make things so difficult that all JWs will shun you?

  Surely it would be better to fade, then you will be loved bombed anytime anyone runs into you

  The Governing Body - Both sides of their coin

  how many can you think of.... they speak for god.. it would seem presumptuous to say they speak for god,.

  they are neither inspired nor infallible.. they are god's only channel for issuing truth here on earth.

  they won't be apologising for any errors/falsehoods they have promoted in the past that fail.. congregation members must be quick and apologise for their errors to avoid harsh discipline/disfellowshipping.. when they change a major belief/doctrine you must not complain or criticise them.

  It’s always been about simplifying your life, can you work one day less per week to spend more time on the min.

  Dont buy a property just rent. Don’t take that promotion just keep the simple lowest position min wage. Just enough to support yourself after all the end is just around the corner.

  But then on the other hand, we need skilled volunteers we need you to send donations. We need you to provide food and perhaps little white envelopes to those in full time service. And yes We need volunteers to accommodate CO - a detached mother-in-law suite would be ideal.

  i just saw on a video that there has been a change about further education.

  here is a screenshot of a letter that went to all elders.

  i am an elder but i don’t remember this one, perhaps it is only for some areas?.

  Shepherd book chapter 8:30

  30. He or a Member of His Household Pursues Higher Education:

  If an appointed brother, his wife, or his children pursue higher education, does his life pattern show that he puts Kingdom in- terests first in his life? Does he teach his family members to put Kingdom interests first? Does he respect what has been pub- lished by the faithful slave on the dangers of higher education?

  CHAPTER 8 “SHEPHERD THE FLOCK OF GOD”

  APPOINTMENT AND DELETION OF ELDERS AND MINISTERIAL SERVANTS

  Do his speech and conduct reveal that he is a spiritual person? How is he viewed by the congregation? Why is he or his family pursuing higher learning? Do they have theocratic goals? Does the pursuit of higher education interfere with regular meeting at- tendance, meaningful participation in field service, or other theo- cratic activities?

  • The education thing is very mysterious. There was supposedly a letter sent to some congregations saying they have warned about the dangers of further education but never made hard rules about it.

    This letter has never had the original shown to people like Atlantis who are doing a brilliant work leaking letters and checking things. Many are saying the letter is bogus because not all elders have seen it. But I asked this guy and he says the letter is really from the USA branch.

    So many are asking him if the letter was really sent from the branch to select congregations then let’s get to the bottom of it. I’m looking forward to his next video where he will hopefully shed more lite

    see the letter about 6 mins into this video https://youtu.be/0v5i-I4fHFc?feature=shared

  “The "last minute conversion" thing might be considered meatier, but it hasn't been confirmed yet by an official announcement.

  Relaxing the rules on clothing styles is arguably a foreseeable next step.

  Tertiary education is still seemingly being railed against, if that video of an elder being raked over the coals for his kid going to college is real.”

  Next broadcast should release the new lite about last minute conversion, and that changed everything. No need to place your bets with GB or you will be killed at Armageddon, now you can wait to see if they were right before you place your bets.

  The clothing thing is next, maybe sisters will have more options and brothers don’t always need to wear a tie and things like that depending on situations.

  The point is this channel had trust. Good interviews and lots of people trusted him.

  that British chap was the best ex jw interview I ever heard and I was so pleased to see part 2 on this channel recently

  now I have lost faith in all ex jw content creators

  I hope he didn’t know it was fake but he must give an explanation now.

  if in fact he was the one who made the bogus letter then it’s a very serious situation because a lot of trust was put in him, he is doing work with helping lots of people thinking about leaving JWs

  he was involved in this work helping people heal after jw https://youtu.be/WjsmkLSs5ow?feature=shared

  now it’s all called into question with a bogus letter

  I hope he was deceived and not the deceiver but he needs to give an apology to retain any kind of future

  it’s such a shame

  It’s such a shame though, that was a good channel. He did some of the best interviews and had the best points. Now he has gone down in my estimation

  unless he comes back with an apology and says he will be more careful in the future

  either that or he was the one who made up the bogus letter in the first place

  I wonder if he knows it’s a bogus letter or if indeed he was the one who made it

  Its such a shame because now I doubt everything from apostate videos

  Are you sure you have nobody still in that you would like to keep in touch with?

  how many years have you been in? You didn’t get to know anybody who you would consider a good friend?

  if you did just realise they will shun you if you choose that route. My advice is don’t go down that road.

  you want to have the advantages of both options being out but still having the option of talking to anyone
