so sorry about the crazy little rants.
all that letter writing i did on zoom in cute little breakout rooms with coffee breaks to make it more “fun.”.
what the hell was i doing?
We love the zoom groups. We have one starting now it’s 9am here in London.
We are on zoom now listening to the brother at the same time I’m posting on an Apostate site😁
let’s be honest not many actually write letters it’s just an excuse to have a social get together
if you once were fully pimi and truly believed jw doctrine to the core like i once did, when you come to the reality that it is not the truth at all it can be extremely devastating.. i think only other ex jws could ever understand.
i wasted my entire life i thought the real life was yet to come to wasted the best years knocking on doors.
now i’m so angry.. i can understand why so many top themselves when they realise it was all lies..
People who go to Church every now and then will not be able to relate just how all encompassing and controlling it is to be a JW.
I wish I had known about JWlite all those years I wasted.
Why not be like those church goers and be JWLITE
even elders can be part of the new jw lite brigade these days.
they don’t need to go on door to door anymore and there is no requirement for anything really.. taking meeting parts is all dead easy you could turn up on the day with zero preparation because it’s all in the meeting workbook.. quarterly elders meetings are just old men having a good old natter just like old men do down the pub.. congregations could be likened to pubs or bars these days just without the drinks, those come at other times.. no need for territory maps, these almost went away with covid letter writing now they are extremely slow getting finished as those who still go door to door only do ten mins.. you could even voice your questions these days about things the gb say and then just say “we can’t be dogmatic we just don’t know”.
i predict they will say this about 1914 soon..
My wife Zo and I like parts of JW. We love the association and the high moral standards. Although they go overboard with that so we take what we like and disregard the rest.
We like having the Bible as a guide which centres and grounds you.
It’s actually great doing the weekly Bible reading but not just from a JW point of view. We do deep study on what all kinds of Bible scholars say. But we actually love talking to other members of the congregation about the weekly Bible reading and it is very beneficial. At the moment we are going through Job and we have an open mind, if it’s literal or just a story either way it’s interesting to study and see what we can learn from it all.
Also having a hope in something better is better than no hope.

Yes but you don’t have to be completely mentally out. Take what you like. If you like parts of the religion then keep those

You don’t need to form a break away group called JWlite, this new idea can go along with the regular JWs in the shadows.
Many are already unbeknownst to them part of JWlite, but it’s spreading.
All you have to do is become inactive or almost inactive, do as much or as little as you want or feel like. But don’t leave altogether.
There is absolutely No need to be shunned by everybody remaining. Just become JWlite inactive keeping one foot in the door, just for the good association and because it’s going to be interesting to see the fall of this cult from the inside.

there is no question: the leaked data shows the vaccines have killed over 13 million people worldwide.
That data is all conspiracy tin foil hat from Satan.
Tony Morris was right when he said That church said these vaccines are from Satans world and are not safe. We know the GB are right these vaccines are from Jehovah and we need to trust him.
After all, would Jehovah encourage his people to get fully vaccinated if these vaccines were not safe?
uh oh, looks like the mega thread gave up the ghost, so while i investigate / fix it just continue the discussion here .... it's been a long 9 years lloyd evans / john cedars.
Yes Lloyd is always late, he is always the last one reporting anything going on. He plagiarises all the other good apostate youtube channels and then makes his video covering it.
No need to hassle Bribie . I understand completely that letter writing is a deadly boring thing to do. I hated doing it in the past when I needed time. Personally, I never enjoyed H to H ministry, but I have known several who really did . I guess you are one of them.

Not many actually write letters, it’s just an excuse to get together for chat. Makes people think they are doing something worthwhile but Zo and I never wrote one letter that was actually sent off, during covid zoom ministry. I think most were the same as us.
Similar story with door to door preaching. These days it’s an excuse to make it look like you are doing something worthwhile but in reality hardly do that much at all. By the time you get there maybe ten mins later “where r we all meeting up for coffee “
this new JWLITE form of zoom or door to door minimalist ministry can be very enjoyable 😆🤩😉
Everybody loved no ministry?
Thats a sweeping statement and couldn’t be true. I much prefer the ministry but gave up on writing letters
-
I would like to challenge you on that. I think you are full of sh!t
you really prefer door to door in these freezing temps than sitting comfortably in your Slippers with a warm drink pretending to write letters but really just chatting on zoom?
you are lying.

Instead of hard fading or even soft fading this JWLITE could be the super soft fade. Where you keep all your family and friends no shunning necessary.
