  What I can confirm is that at the arabic assemblies in Germany, individuals took drums or other insturments and they started playing music during the break, with lots of brothers and sisters participating in singing. It was not as part of the official program, however is was quite huge.

  I guess in Germany they have some more traditions. A lot of the preaching has been street witnessing instead of house-to-house, even before the carts. Just standing on the street for hours and counting time.

  They have so many old brothers and sisters too. So things are very well over there

  wanted - young, healthy, unmarried brothers that do not look at pornography.

  of course they should not masturbate too, though we do not mention this requirement specifically.

  and they should be honest about it.

  Out of the mouths of PIMOs

  new episode twenty five - daniel is a pimo jehovah's witness.

  pimo – \pee-moe\ noun – short for physically in, mentally out, a person held captive to the cult of jehovah’s witnesses because although they are awake, to let others know would cost them everything they’ve ever known.

  they stay in physically to keep spouses, family, friends, the only social structure that they’ve ever been allowed to have.

  I am also a PIMO, but I agree withs DOC. Can you give a summary, or a condensed version? Love to learn more, really, but I do not have so much time.

  Did you actually read the bible end to end?

  by Ultimate Axiom in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in my ten years as a witness i never read the whole bible end to end, what with four magazines a month, the book study, meetings and talk preparations, there just wasn’t the time.

  i knew all the important references to ‘prove’ the various jw doctrines, and the cherry picked chapters that help foster the idea that it’s a good book, but that’s not reading it.

  well after nearly forty years out, i decided i would do it.

  i have not been around much or even cared to dig into jw land.

  i been working on moving to a new place and leaving behind my old jw past, even the neighborhood where it all happened.. but something i heard this weekend had me thinking.

  my mother in law has a small, run down wooden home near the kh where we used to attend.

  Also if a KH has a home connected to it that is to be used by a CO that home has to meet certain qualifications.

  "Unacceptable practice of privacy laws" Norway News. Jehovah's Witnesses

  unacceptable practice of privacy laws.

  the way jehovah's witnesses handle sensitive personal information is not compatible with basic human rights in a modern society.. ​.

  I wonder what information is still stored about disfellowshipped ones in Europe.

  And at our meeting (in the Netherlands) it was said brothers and sisters could still pass on adresses of foreign language speaking persons without their consent.

  Well, when I realised it was all BS, I also made the choice to stay and play along. I would never be able to convince my loved ones about ttatt once I leave. So like JW GoneBad I love being a pain in the ass
