  question/s for the PIMO

  to maintain the facade of being a jw, when doing the ministry, are you not advocating for the gb?

  the bible studies, after all are to get people to understand they can't gain life without the "faithful slave" ( you have to be baptized as jw to survive) .how does it make you feel?

  if you are parroting an answer in a paragraph that you know is wrong, how does it make you feel?

  Phizzy - I remember getting the Bible out and showing a man various scriptures. He was very interested and invited us in. He did not realise we were Witnesses because we actually were using the Bible! When he understood, he explained why he did not like the Witnesses. It was because his aunt had been a cruelly beaten wife and nothing had been done about it.

  It was only later I found out that wife-beating had gone on in the congregation I had been part of. An elder had been beating his wife. This is why you have to leave in the end. If you stay in you are not associating with Christians but with people who are turning a blind-eye to all sorts of wrong doing. Decent people cannot assist with such a cover-up.

  In the congregation, you are expected to keep quiet and told the elders are the ones appointed to deal with the matter. These sorts of things are hidden from the new-comer.

  Also how many knew of the massive child abuse cover up? Are congregation members allowed to speak about it now? This sister was disfellowshipped in 2019 for simply mentioning the child abuse cover up.

  Smoking gun GB can’t get out of this one

  here in 2022 if anyone says anything against the vaccines even a little bit you are almost apostate.. someone once mentioned all vaccinated sports stars collapsing and someone else said not to speak badly about the gb or by extension jehovah.. the gb can’t get out of this one, it’s gone too far.

  it’s now the case that if you speak against the vaccines you are speaking against the gb and by extension jehovah .

  Here's a conspiracy theory. This is a proper one. But you've got to guess what the conspiracy is. Is the conspiracy that it will be built or is the conspiracy that it wont be built?

  When you are in a sinking ship, if you are wise, you do all you can to get out and if you can help, you try to help others out by getting them to a safe exit. If they don't understand WHY they are in danger, you try to explain, if you have time.

  Who would want someone to risk their life to tell you exactly how the engine room is flooding? It is not important but that person trapped in the engine room, their freedom and life is important.

  That people are trapped is tragic. It is their day-to-day life that is being taken away from them.

  The Magic Circle exists because clever magicians exist. What they do is fool those not in the know, so as to make a living. Anyone taken in by them is not necessarily gullible but cannot enter the mindset of people who would work SO HARD to con others by pulling the wool over their eyes. An amusing joke when it is only entertainment. My view for may years was 'maybe they mean well but don't understand they are wrong.' Even when Ray Franz himself wrote to me and gently sought to correct me, I was still inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt.

  But WT leaders knew they were conning us and Watchtower's false teachings (like magic tricks with word and crafty social engineering) are not entertainment, they are death-dealing blasphemy.

  Joao - from well behind the scenes I found out this.

  A fine man left many years ago because he knew WT was a pack of lies. His wife remained in and developed close friendships with power-elder wives. For whatever reason, she was given a part on the platform at a convention giving her experience. From that platform, she said of her husband that he was apostate. So she blackened his reputation. But even some listening knew better and were shocked to hear her say such things.

  I don't know whether her husband claimed to be Christian. I suspect so. But I do know that his reputation was that of a thoroughly decent man.

  If David Knight associated with Alex Jones, at least he didn't associate with C T Russell who came up with a load of pyramid conspiracy theories.

  Exactly. Guilt by association. Anyone honest has to speak up and get out.

  I have sympathy for those with family members still-in. They are somewhat trapped. But somehow, even if you are trapped you have got to break open that trap and get out.
