  Gosh this brings back memories.

  I was one of 2 elders assigned to coordinate receipt of all the surprise Bible's and recruited 4 key men (other elders). So we drove all the way to the WT literature Depot. The boxes were not labeled in a way that would give away their contents. The literature Depot servant who lives at the depot told me whilest loading that not even his wife knew what was in all the tractor trailer load of boxes.

  They sat in my garage for a week before I carted them to the KH with GB directed specific distribution directions. It all "paid off" to see the tears of joy streaming down the faces of hundreds as they received one OF THE MOST PERVERTED INTERPRETATIONS OF SCRIPTURE EVER PRINTED.

  And there you go.

  We need to be especially cautious when we come across reports regarding Jehovah’s people.... Never forget that Satan is the accuser of God’s faithful servants....If we take that warning seriously, we will not be shocked when we hear outrageous statements about Jehovah’s people.

  "...serving Jehovah faithfully for decades? We may have developed fine thinking ability and discernment...(but)..leaning too heavily on our own understanding can become a snare. Our emotions and personal ideas could begin to govern our thinking. We may begin to feel that we can look at a situation and understand it even though we do not have all the facts. How dangerous! The Bible clearly warns us not to lean on our own understanding.

  It is especially important to avoid websites promoted by apostates.

  Thankfully we no longer have to rely on CNN, BBC, FOX NEWS, ect.... because as Gods chosen people we have all the provisions we need to get the 100% facts.....

  

  A FEW PROVISIONS TO HELP US GET THE FACTS

  What provisions have been made to keep God’s people up-to-date with accurate information?

  BREAKING NEWS: The feature Breaking News on the jw.org website provides quick, brief updates to Jehovah’s people on major events happening worldwide.

  NEWSROOM: This regular section on jw.org contains more extensive reports on matters affecting our freedom of worship and on our response to natural disasters.

  JW BROADCASTING: This Internet television station provides video updates on the activities of Jehovah’s Witnesses worldwide.

  I'd like to see where this goes here in this forum wondering if it would be a good doubt raising conversation with my PIMI acquaintances.

  Ideas on covering id online?

  guys, ive wanted for long to start to express my thoughts about what i learned about the org and the bible altogether but i'm a pimo.

  what suggestions do you have for me?

  i don't want to "get caught" for sharing "apostasy" and i think running a page on facebook or instagram is too easy for anyone to track me down.

  2 thoughts from a deep PIMO:

  >Download and utilize a TOR browser for all your actions if you feel the need to alleviate extreme getting caught paranoia. You're still responsible for the content you post but it would be generally untraceable.
  

  >Always log off any and all accounts you use. Including this forum. I used to be on this forum under a different alias and THE ONE FREKIN TIME I failed to click the Sign Out button was the night I took an elder call, walked onto my porch to have the private conversation, and my wife sat at my computer and opened the Trojan Horse.

  My wife felt internally the feelings of:

  "stay strong for Jehovah"

  "that he may be won over without a word"

  "Satan is attacking my husband, don't attack him as well".....ect

  And Kingdom Songs in her headset, over Bluetooth in the car, on the piano, and like you mentioned......humming the tunes, was a constant feature in our home until she began to wake up.

  Fast forward a bit.....she missed 2/3 of the CO visit which would have been unthinkable a year ago.

  Life is good.

  I read the AP article and got multiple flashbacks to personally being on the phone with another elder conferenced with legal at Patterson (sometimes for hours) to in the end be told the exact same thing....."since you are in Georgia, a non reporting state, you are to take no further action, the authorities are not to be involved."

  AFTER the long conference call with legal then came the transfer to the service desk to give us direction on how to "offer assistance" to the victim AND perp.

  This subject is the #1 reason out of 53 why I am so ashamed to be known as one of Jehovah's Witnesses. It will be on my mind heavily while at the WT this Sunday, in part, on why we should be proud to be a JW.

  Please excuse me, I'm going to vomit now.

  I was attending a conference in downtown Seattle a while back and during our breaks at the convention center would occasionally go sit in the lobby.

  From my seat in the lobby I was eye level with 4 people manning two carts at 90 degree angles from each other on the same street corner. Like clockwork every 1-2 minutes at least one of them pulled out their phone to look at the time or looked at their watch.

  Jesus would be proud eh?

  Funny occurrences

  by Freedom rocks in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  what were some funny experiences you had of things that happened during talks at the meetings?.

  a few of mine:.

  - a brother had dyed his hair before his talk and it was raining heavily when he arrived at the hall and the dye was running down his face during his talk and his skin went more and more grey as the black dye ran down it.

  Brother brought his tackle box on stage once in a N GA cong. Starting taking this one and that one out explaining the subtle differences and the type of fish each will catch or wont catch.

  Ultimately went something like....

  Satan is the master at using custom lures to catch individuals based on their personal weaknesses. So he is most effective in using this bait or that bait. No one can claim to be the masterbaiter but Satan and his demons.

  Are All Baptized Witnesses Still Considered Ministers?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  or is that old light??.

  many young men avoided the draft due to their being “ministers”.

  if everyone who is a jw is a minister, women and kids should share ministerial status and even be able to legally officiate and marry someone....as long as they are baptized..

  After a "resounding YES!" from the 3 baptismal candidates standing up front and center in a group of 2160 and directly from the Baptism outline:

  "Your clear, affirmative answers to those questions give evidence that you are qualified for baptism as ordained ministers of Jehovah God....let us pray"

  So we can see why rank and file would think they are. But of course as Elders, behind the scenes, we know different about all the seat warming, time sucking, ignorant, blind sheep we get to control and manipulate.

  Oh Rapture! Today's WT caused my wife's first [JW mind control] epiphany and she didn't hesitate to share upon her discovery.

  09/16/2018 | "Where Are Your Eyes Looking?" The dialogue went something like this:

  "Babe look at this, pp 1 -10 is full of good old factual Bible account references. But look at pp. 10 'Jehovah may have been indignant' and pp. 11...'another possibility', and pp.12...'another plausible explanation'. So they give us the facts, then comes the conjecture, then comes the direction we cant question based on the conjecture."

  I was overjoyed. A total salubrious feeling. But I kept my composure, put my hand on her shoulder and calmly said that I agreed and that is such a large part of my "feeling PIMO".

  Later this afternoon after the meeting she circled back around to the morning conversation after hearing everything read and commented on at the WT study. She said, "I think that no matter what KH or church we're sitting in, it will have its own measure of stuff we simply wont agree with."

  Yes I said, but other places wont shun us for not believing the stuff we don't agree with.

  More to come but the crisis has begun in her head.
