Further education

by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

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?.

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

decided i’m going to go out with a bang.

just posted a merry christmas meme on my watsapp status.

in portuguese but it’s very clear what it means with the baubles etc…... i will keep you posted on people’s reactions.

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

Jehovah's Witness Governing Body, (New Light Division) Are Vegetable Oils not more important than Beards?

by was a new boy in

'use vegetable oil and soft margarine in place of animal fat,'.

https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/101997444?q=vegetable+oil&p=par.

'when possible, cook with unsaturated vegetable oils.'.

ExBethelitenowPIMA

It all comes back to follow direction even if you doubt it, just trust and obey without question.

the direction is swap butter for margarine

don’t question Jehovahs margarine direction just eat it everyday, and keep taking those booster shots, they are from Jehovah.

even elders can be part of the new jw lite brigade these days.

they don’t need to go on door to door anymore and there is no requirement for anything really.. taking meeting parts is all dead easy you could turn up on the day with zero preparation because it’s all in the meeting workbook.. quarterly elders meetings are just old men having a good old natter just like old men do down the pub.. congregations could be likened to pubs or bars these days just without the drinks, those come at other times.. no need for territory maps, these almost went away with covid letter writing now they are extremely slow getting finished as those who still go door to door only do ten mins.. you could even voice your questions these days about things the gb say and then just say “we can’t be dogmatic we just don’t know”.

i predict they will say this about 1914 soon..

This is the gB perfectly describing themselves “ So they seek for something more sensational, for some "new light" to dazzle unwary listeners. As they feed the open-mouthed listeners their line of new theories, the listeners by their rapt attention feed the ego of the speculators.”

? Question for EX-JW grandfathers. What life advice would you give to your grandchildren and your younger self. ?

by Balaamsass2 in

i read an interesting interview with billionaire warren buffet's sidekick, billionaire charlie munger.

good read, this grandpa agrees 1000% with his advice.

i wish i had learned earlier to realize almost everyone lies...(sometimes to themselves) but especially, all politicians and religious leaders.. what advice would you as a grandparent add?".

ExBethelitenowPIMA

PIMA isn’t fake JW it’s being honest that you can’t prove Gods existence and you can’t disprove it either. That is agnostic.

Living with the possibility that God is real and the Bible is his word is the option I’ve chosen this is Pascal’s wager, but not to be too invested because I think the GB are absolutely wrong and I’m finding this very interesting to see them in panic mode.

Stan, it living with the possibility that the entire Bible is a lie. So don’t invest yourself too much into it, just in case.

But I will go to my grave with a hope that the Bible wasn’t all a lie.

Life advice to my younger self would be to stay PIMA. Stay physically in the org for the good family life, safer being part of good community. Good friends who will be there for you as long as you stay physically in, so stay physically in.

Stay mentally agnostic then you can have the advantages of having a hope that the Bibles promises may have some truth to them.
