this website is an invaluable source of knowledge for me in my deconstruction journey as i gradually fade away from the org.
i absolutely love it here.. however, i haven't been very well as of late.
and i make an effort to bring a sad little message.
Hey Ukpimo, sorry to hear that you are unwell. There is some good news on cancer treatments recently using repurposed drugs that are very cheap and very safe and seem to work very well.
They are very cheap because the patents have expired and big pharma can no longer make any money out of them. For this reason and also that they threaten sales of very expensive drugs, you will not hear anything about these drugs from your doctor or the media.
Best wishes,
RB
is the sunday special talk prior to the memorial just an introduction of a new outline for the sunday public talks?.
is it an attempt to get the faders back to the meetings?
they present in a way like some new light is going to be presented at the special talk..
- It is about as special as the "special sauce" in a Big Mack.

locally, in northern california i have seen/heard a drop in jw and mainstream church attendance especially in person attendance.
(exception: a new creepy local new-age charismatic/pentecostal group: "bethel church" 11,000 and growing mega church(kundalini yoga/sex combined with prosperity gospel, trumpism, guns, rock music, dancing, glitter, speaking in tongues, and faith healing).. for me this paragraph sums it up regarding jehovah's witnesses: " ...smith described organized religion to me as having become a “polluted” idea in the american mainstream, because of the publicity around sex abuse scandals and financial malfeasance in many different faiths in the ’80s and ’90s as millennials came of age.
“the scandals violated most of the virtues believed to make religion good,” smith wrote.
Hey Rivergang, I like the Church of the Righteous Hog!
But in Australia... we have
2/2025 czech news agency czech culture ministry considers deregistration of jehovah’s witnesses.
the czech ministry of culture is considering the possible cancellation of the religious registration of the jehovah’s witnesses religious society, and has sent the organisation an appeal to desist from its illegal activities, ministry spokeswoman jana zechmeisterova told ctk today.. the ministry has received thousands of complaints from the jehovah’s witnesses about the proposal, which must be dealt with first.
administrative proceedings have not yet been initiated, zechmeisterova said.. she said the ministry had begun to deal with the proposals it had received about the cancellation of the registration of the religious society of jehovah’s witnesses (nssj).
Burn, baby burn!

i know most people here are totally out and that’s fine.. many these days are staying physically in for the social life and that is also fine.. i feel being fully mentally in is dangerous as it could be such a shock mentally if or should i say when the tower collapsed.. im sitting in the fence like so many others here.
mentally agnostic if god exists or not and if the bible is his word.. when i talk to people who are physically and mentally still in i can tell that they so need it to be true.
i’m worried for them when they wake up to the fact that they have been lied to 1914 wasn’t true 1975 wasn’t true 1999 wasn’t true and now here we are 2025 it’s all not true.

doge got the crazy idea of auditing the gold in fort knox.
come to find out no one has been allowed to see if there is any gold at fort knox for the past 40 years.
not even the senators or congressman have been allowed to see the gold.
This will be interesting...

i was reading an intriguing post on the exjw reddit, a forum i do not with to sign up for, as i'm not interested in the internal politics of reddit.
https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/1hwlja8/the_governing_bodys_letter_that_shook_bethel_and/.
another post counteracted this one, driven by the "conspiracy theory" card.
Riley said - I didn’t really see how a controlled exposure to a deadly pathogen could be any worse than an uncontrolled exposure...
That is not how this one works, You were exposed to and experimental piece of gene hacking that hijacks any cell it comes across and reprograms that cell to express spike proteins. This in turn provokes an attack on this cell by your immune system.
They assured us that this jab would stay in the deltoid muscle and the effect would be very local, in actuality the jab contents tend to collect it the worst of places, e.g. myocardium in your heart and worse.

i overheard a discussion between two jws, they said that when someone is disfellowshipped, they are asked to hand their blood card back to the elders.
i had never heard of this before, is this correct?.
This is a new one to me, anything is possible these days.

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.
Wait... that's not all, "New System Dollars" Crypto Currency.
