i really like the red pill analogy in the matrix.
the one guy wishes he didn’t take the red pill and would have preferred to take the blue pill.. many used to be pimi which is the blue pill and then they wake up to the fact that the gb are not who they claim to be which is taking the red pill.. they go through conflict and confusion as to what to believe now?
does god exist?
It’s probably true these days that most JWs are nearer to PIMA than PIMI.
They mostly think along the lines of “I hope it’s mostly true but just don’t know.”
When you look at all the changes lately this is almost the official lines from the GB “WE DONT KNOW”
I can see this spreading to most of the doctrines that have been handed down from late GB members the new GB will have to release more new light that we just don’t know.

Are you saying that it's better to stay PIMO, with all the cognitive dissonance and personal feelings of hypocrisy, and to suck it up, than to go POMO?
There is a difference between PIMO and PIMA. Mentally agnostic is not hypercritical at all. It’s saying I don’t know what the truth is so it’s actually a much safer bet.
i’ve been invited to the dedication at chelmsford.. it’s crazy here, several thousand ex bethelites here for lots of events.
all hotels booked.
big marquee.
They have made a big fake courtroom and some brother dressed up with wigs and costumes like they are judges. So people can pretend they are going to court to sign something to renounce their faith.
There is a such a buzz in the air it’s hard to describe

They had a big double decker bus to drive us all around
it was a worldly company and I don’t know what the drivers thought, they must have thought we were all drunk. Maybe some were they certainly acted like it.
everyone seems overly happy like it can’t be real.
so many events, they have a big watchtower frame and you can line up to have your photo taken looks like you are on the watchtower cover
lots of gifts with the branch dedication logos on

Lots of events on here.

we still don’t know who will be speaking on Saturday
y'all i am an unmedicated bipolar.
i had a mania streak and slept with my bf who is of the world.
i am pregnant from this.
Sorry if y'all think I am trolling you I am not i just don't know what to do. I did have sex with him before my baptism but that was months before would that count? Idk if I repent or not.
How many weeks pregnant are you?
If you are not trolling this will be interesting test case to see how the new light works in practice.
what have the elders said so far and what did you say?
what happens if you say you are sorry and say you are not sleeping with him anymore but they think you are?
I think the new light is so desperately trying to stop the bleeding that they will not DF you if you say you are sorry that is enough
uh oh, looks like the mega thread gave up the ghost, so while i investigate / fix it just continue the discussion here .... it's been a long 9 years lloyd evans / john cedars.
In his latest livestream panel at 56mins the woman says “the good news there will be lots to talk about on xJW channels so Lloyd will always have a job”
then Lloyd visibly looks distraught and says “oh I hope not you have just brought up trauma now”
yes He hopes not because he hates it but then he thinks about the alternative and he has to go and get a proper job in a country where he still can’t speak the language

Test case for the new light. My bet is the old dark clouds are still present blocking it.
Yes a good test case.
I want to hear what this new light is actually going to work in practice
i am sure we were all shocked at the governing body update #2 with the unusual and impulsive changes set forth.. i am an insider at whq, and when i was on reddit and in communication with avoidjw i explained to the best of my ability that the approach on disfellowshipping was going to change based on the new light at the 2023 agm, that the jubilee rumor was false, and there were going to be changes on how jws approached disfellowshipping in response to the norway situation if it didn't turn out in watchtower's favor.
the decision came because of a legal blow to watchtower, not because "holy spirit" wad directing a faithful slave, who is going to become the "evil slave", more explanation on this soon.. everything i stated came true.
i left reddit exjw community due to the immature and mentally unstable nature there, and yet as has been the case my words came true.
recent letter to the BOE already clarified their stance on higher education and how it doesn't necessarily affect position of brothers in the congregation etc, that's just a small matter which may be developed further, but it's not part of the "10-year plan".
No it was fraudulent. It was bogus. There is a thread about it on here somewhere
it’s a shame because prominent YouTube channels jumped on it and it was all a hoax
the GB can quite rightly say be careful of apostates who lie.
we must be careful who we believe now
i now view jwlite like the trekkie conventions.
star trek is fiction and all the fans know this full well.
but they find it beneficial.
In what way Pete?
I know there is a feeling that everyone has to leave and be physical out, I don’t agree and I think Star Trek is a great way to explain this.
A former Trekkie who doesn’t like Star Trek anymore but still goes to the conventions and meet up just for the social aspect.
there is nothing wrong with this. But other Trekkies who left altogether say they hate Star Trek and everyone else should hate it as well.
let’s agree to disagree
