A lot of bodies

by Elena in

i have this memory of a gb member once saying that there would be a lot of bodies to be buried after armageddon.. does anyone else remember who said it?.

it was probably in the last decade or so.

ive been trying to find the video i’m sure it was on lloyd evens and all the other similar channels when it was said.. i can’t remember which gb member said it.

I think it was Geratt Loach who said it

Know it’s not true but stay anyway

by Elena in

how many of the millions of jws know it’s not true but stay anyway?.

my guess is most jws know it’s not true on a subconscious level to an extent but they don’t want to think about it too much and would never ever voice it out loud.. but this is probably true with all religions around the world?.

Elena

Jehovah’s Witnesses are not the closest to the truth. There is no truth every human being on Earth is agnostic.

The true definition of diagnostic is you cannot prove that God exists and that you cannot prove that God doesn’t exist or evolutionist cannot prove to me that God does not exist. This means they are diagnostic by definition.

This is why I am staying Pima which stands for physically in mentally agnostic

An ex-elder once said to me, "If you want to just get by, there are a whole lot of religions easier to do it in than Jehovah's Witnesses."(Granted, that was back when you still had to report all your time.)

These days it’s just as easy in JWs as in any other religion or group.

The only problem is there are some over righteous zealots who class themselves as super spiritual and try to make others feel they are inferior.

but apart from them, it’s easy to just get by go to meetings on zoom or if you feel like it then in person occasionally

It's been a long 9 years Lloyd Evans / John Cedars (continued)

by Simon in

jw
friends

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.

Elena

So his ex wife has a nice stepdad for the kids. They seem to be thriving lovely pics on social media.

Lloyd still can’t speak the language he has no friends and can’t get off his addiction to drugs and hookers

will Lloyd now take more illegal drugs to cope with his sad lonely life? He lives in a cheap grotty place with paper thin walls and by the sound of it has similar drug abuse neighbours.

how long before he moves back to the uk and asks his dad for help?

I think it’s the same for all religions. Around me here most people are church of this or that or whatever religion.

They find it beneficial but don’t really believe it all.

JWs like the sound of the Bibles promises but they know in their heart the GB have not got the correct interpretation

What is is your favorite REDICULOUS JW falsehood? :)

by Balaamsass2 in

i get a few good laughs from the ex-jw facebook site: " ex jw humor will set you free".. i was laughing over dinner with 3rd gen over this post tonight: "question for the audience: i was driving around today and it hit me...there are big falsehoods (armageddon etc.

) that we were told, but also ridiculous falsehoods.

what is your favorite ridiculous falsehoods?

Elena

One I always found hard was there were no written languages before the flood. Or was it before Tower of Babel?

I don’t think it’s clear but they were supposed to live for several hundred years before the flood and no written works were said to have been made.

Japan charges

by Elena in

japan jws were stuck in the 1950s.

then the media made a big deal about discipline for kids and shunning ect.

now three foreign brothers have been sent to serve on the japanese branch committee.

Japan JWs were stuck in the 1950s. They never got the memo’s. Then the media made a big deal about discipline for kids and shunning ect.

Now three foreign brothers have been sent to serve on the Japanese branch committee. They are really shaking things up.

One of the problems they were stuck in the past was they were too formal. Calling each other brother or sister last name every time in the park or shopping absolutely anywhere. Even husbands and wife’s were addressing each other like this and when a son got baptised his mum then called him brother last name.

now these new western branch committee bros have instructed COs toget all congregations to use first names or even nick names to be more friendly and less formal.

All elders have been asked to make Nick names for each other and use at all times even on the platform to encourage the rest of the congregation to use them too. This is supposed to make them more approachable.

this is only scratching the surface of the changes starting.

anyone else got any information about Japanese branch changes?

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.

Elena

Then some new guy interviewed a Branch committee member and summarised the whole Saturday Dedication in 20 minutes,

They were both branch committee members. Steve Morrice is a long time big wig and the new one is the token black guy just to show diversity, they also have a token Asian on the branch committee for this purpose.
