  Rat

  My beard is comfortable and makes me look better, even admitted by long time company men. . It takes grooming, but less than shaving every day. You are right, it is a choice, not a requirement either way.

  i didn't know what category to put this under, but would appreciate thoughts.

  we know if you are df or dissasociate yourself, an anouncement is made at the local kh.

  do any of you know if they also contact congreagations you have gone to previously?

  The announcement is only at the congregation that formed the committee. The gossip mill travels fast

  Things to consider

  The watchtower does not have a relationship with jehovah

  Many churches have good or better people

  Committees are inconsistent in fairness, everything from caring to harsh.

  The original elders may have wondered in the back if their minds how they could get some themselves.

  With no family in maybe just move on

  Bright side: new world will have no carbon emissions ( or electricity).

  Pushing the woke agenda, ignoring the problems the solutions will cause. Good thing they left Brooklyn before it turns into Atlantis.

  "My book of bible stories" is child abuse!!

  by Witness 007 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i once gave this book to a woman with kids at the door...to my shock my next visit she gave it back saying it was discusting and full of violence and sex!

  this book was clearly written by some bethel loser with no kids.

  i don't understand why witnesses don't have a separate kids school..

  " the best ever" catch phrase has gone missing. I have not heard it even once.

  Being elderly and pimo, I have no excitement. But none is noted anywhere else among the pimi either.

  Sex with a minor cannot be consensual. Using a position of trust or power crosses a line too.

  Half of disfellowshipped one suicidal?

  by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this ex brother says about half of disfellowshipped ones are suicidal at about 43 minutes into this video https://youtube.com/watch?v=otcdksnf4zo&feature=sharec.

  it really is that brutal having your family and friends shun you that many unfortunately do actually take their own lives including steve letts nephew.. no wonder the drastic change in the elders book to not have any more judicial committees if suspected it would make them suicidal.. this is probably one of the largest changes in recent history that most rank and file don’t know about yet.. how it will work in practice i just don’t know.

  what if someone keeps sinning but says it’s weakness not wickedness and they are suicidal?

  I have seen suicide from the pressure to not get a good job, pioneer, don't marry, go to bethel.
