JWlite can be the purple pill

by Teddnzo in

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?

And when your friend takes the red pill, will you join in the abusive shunning to keep your cover?

As I recall the guy who regrets taking the red pill had no qualms about killing his friends to get back into the illusion of the Matrix.

This is an interesting contradiction here. So taking the red pill is bad? Is that what you are saying?

Is it best to take the red pill if you would definitely be more happy not taking it? What if the blue pill not knowing the truth would stop you being unhappy?

Is there a third option? Yes you can take both pills and tell yourself we don’t know the entire whole truth. Whatever you want to choose to believe may be true or may not be. You have to reach contentment not knowing.

purple pill means you can think for yourself and choose to believe whatever you want including blue or red pills.

So no, to answer your question. All purple pill JW don’t shun anyone but that’s sort of ended now anyway even for blue pill JWs.

Acceptance to choose an illusion? Surely you’ve seen the Truman Show? There is no integrity, authenticity, deep care for any human, when living in an illusion. Is that really what you prefer, a masquerade? (Isa 30:10; 2 Cor 11:13-15)

Going back to Atheism may be a masquerade. Believing in God may be a masquerade.

Either choice could be an illusion how can you be so sure?

this is why I choose the purple pill. I take both the red pill and the blue pill.

i take the red pill because i know the GB are not correct. But I take the blue pill because Im agnostic as to if there was intelligent design involved in the universe.

Reddit thread - ‘Organization Finally Suggesting to Plan for Retirement’

by LongHairGal in

jw
friends

this information is supposed to be in the upcoming march wt.

(i don’t go on jw dot org).

it would sound like they are hinting at a change in thinking.. in my opinion, any such change would be yet another slap in the face to faithful pimis along with those other recent changes.. there are so many heartfelt responses on that thread and a lot of justified anger.. don’t know what to say except that i’m so glad i never listened to the religion all those years ago.

The main problem here is these new GB members have inherited some really bad policies. They will find it hard to U turn on too much too fast. If they change too fast it casts a shadow on 1919 God chose the GB of the JWs as his one chosen true religion

THE PROBLEM WITH THESE 2 NEW GB MEMBERS APPOINTMENTS

by raymond frantz in

https://youtu.be/rjr0ugtu6zu?si=d3zsz20ee33gytxi.

these new appointments are troubling, to say the least, especially considering the factors surrounding their selection.

these appointments raise key concerns about leadership, experience, and what is happening behind the scenes at the organization's headquarters.

These have to be the youngest ever possible to be contemporary’s of those who remember 1914?

that one guy was in his 40s??????

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.

Branch dedication London

by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

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.

ExBethelitenowPIMA

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

Will I be disfellowshippwd

by Sydney in

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.

ExBethelitenowPIMA

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
