  i’ve decided to disassociate from the jw organisation.

  i cannot be part of a community that blatantly rejects the sacrifice of jesus in that demonic memorial ritual.

  amazing what information you find when you start researching.. i’m writing my letter and posting it to the kingdom hall this morning.

  Never*

  I meant to say never coming back

  Those men who thought up this evil practice really have caused so much misery and break up of families and friends.

  And then to openly lie about it and say “it’s only spiritual things we don’t talk about but we will talk about other things” this is a lie. Unless we will have new light doing a U turn and say we can talk to them just not about spiritual things.

  So we are trapped by men long since dead who thought up this evil practice of shunning someone just because they no longer share your interpretation of the Bible.

  I don’t blame my life long friends who are such good people. I blame the evil men who thought up this evil insanity.

  The best thing we could all do is ignore it. That’s what Zo and I do. We are JW lite and will still talk to any old friends who leave the organisation and tell them we are staying JW lite for the good friends that are still in. Some who have left have said they wished they did the same as us.

  If Elders come to talk to you about why you still talk to those who were announced as no longer a JW then tell them I thought we had new light saying just don’t talk about spiritual things? I can show you the video here listen to this….

  He is obviously a very mixed up old man. Past midlife crisis stage this is later life catastrophe.

  He kids won’t want to speak to him once they are old enough to do a Google search. He knows this.

  His plan of living off making YouTube videos is going downhill fast. Soon he will have only a couple of hundred patrons probably giving an average of $10 month or something like that. In time it will get less and less.

  He has admitted to being suicidal and on medication for mental health. Then he admitted to stopping taking them cold turkey against the advice of medical professionals.

  He has talked before about experimenting with illegal drugs and it sound like he is on a self destructive path downhill.

  He may think he is near the bottom of the barrel but there is further to go down once he can’t pay his rent and is homeless in a country that he has never bothered to learn the language.

  His best bet now is try to sincerely apologise and try to build back bridges he burned. If he genuinely shows a humble attitude get a job and show he is sorry then he will have many forgive him.

  He should be honest with his kids when they are old enough. Without trying to use excuses and blame JWs for his downward spiral. If you are reading Lloyd then don’t try and say sexual repression and the JWs are to blame. Many times throughout history humans waited until marriage before sex, and they all didn’t cheat on their wives with prostitution. And they certainly didn’t ask their wife to buy condoms to go on sex holidays

  I don’t blame them for that. I blame the men who thought up this evil practice of shunning. They are still real friends who will be there for you but they have been deceived. We have to keep that in mind.

  I know of somebody recently his name is James Treadwell, his nickname was Bob in Bethel dinning room in London. He has just been disfellowshiped I think it’s because he is obviously gay.

  Everyone really likes him he is such a great guy. I’ve heard people say “it’s harder on us than it is on him” I think it’s hard on everyone but particularly for the one being shunned.

  I can think of so many others over the years, really good people who for one reason or another they have left the organisation.

  Some say we just have to wait for them to come back then we can talk to them again, but they truth is they are now coming back.

  That letter is fake there has been no U turn on education just as there has been no U turn on being fully vaccinated before getting involved in any training schools.

  Does becoming (or remaining) one of Jehovah's Witnesses result in Poverty? Pew Research results differ from Watchtower claims.

  by Balaamsass2 in

  2. beliefs

  "raised in the truth" during the 50s, 60s,and 70s i repeatedly read and heard from the platform how reading the magazines weekly "was the equivalent of a college education" and how many had turned their family economic situation around by being "trustworthy" and giving up expensive bad habits most "worldly people" had.

  sounded good.. what is the reality?

  how does avoiding higher education, and then spending up to 20 hours a week getting ready for, commuting, and then participating in meetings and field service affect family finances?.

  I do have huge regrets listening to and believing the lies of this cult. I believed I would not leave school so didn’t work that hard. Then I pioneered straight away with min wage part time jobs, I struggled when I got married and still struggling to this day. But always taught don’t worry the end is so close now.

  Never bought a house because that would have been a lack of faith. Now rents in the UK are shooting up that pioneers can only afford housing in very poor rough conditions.

  When I think about the life I could have had if I had a Career anything other than pioneering for free all those decades. And for what? Now our retirement is going to be very hard and full of regret. Thank you Jehovah

  This is doing the rounds along with other memes what Is worrying is that PIMI JWs laugh this off and never think about this assurance that we were told millions now living will never die. They have now all died who remember 1914. Yet JWs are laughing at the never shave part.

  My wife Zo and I have made such good friends in the JWs who have been so kind to us over the years. We have been through some really tough times together and our real friends have proven to be true friends in need.

  This is why we stay physically in even though we are mentally out. We couldn’t consider being shunned by our closest friends.

  There are some really great folks who are JWs, and even though the doctrine is wrong I will say it’s because of the Bible and trying to apply Christian principles and qualities is the reason why there are such good people in this cult.

  So a big warning for those thinking of physically leaving hard exit which means you will be shunned by everyone still in. Think very carefully before you make that step, it’s very hard to get back and remove the shunning.

  IMO far better to either fade soft exit with no shunning, or just become inactive and almost stay physically in, this is what Zo and I are doing.

  renewed active cooperation of the WTG as an NGO at the UN

  by Pedro in

  2. scandals

  there is news about the wtg's cooperation with the un as an ngo.. according to the un, every ngo is obliged by statute to actively work towards the goals of the un.. the historical case on the same topic, from 1992-2001, should be known.. at that time, the cooperation was exposed by a report in the british daily newspaper “the guardian” on october 8, 2001.. the wtg canceled its membership a day later under the pressure of outrage from some congregations.. many witnesses couldn't believe it and wrote to the un asking for information as to whether it was true.. the un response letter is still available on the un homepage.. here is the link to the un statement.

  https://www.un.org/en/civil-society/watchtowerletter.

  now it is time again!.

  Can anyone phone the branch and ask what the official reason is for rejoining after over two decades of leaving?

  timing of Tony becoming GB and JWs leaving the UN, then Tony leaving and JWs rejoining the UN, is that just coincidence?

  I’m with the others who said don’t be shunned by every JW in the world for the rest of your life if you don’t need to be. Far better to leave without being shunned forever
