  How to avoid getting disfellowshipped for having a wordly girlfriend?

  hey guys, i've been pimo going on full inactive for a very long time, 5+ years.

  pretty happy with the current situation.

  over the years, i've gotten lots of grief from the local elders and cos for my inactivity, attending wordly public events and social media posts.

  You will only be disfellowshipped if they can prove serious sin. However if you’ve been fading for as long as you have then you will not be considered as part of the congregation and so will only face judicial action if you choose to return. Be discreet, unresponsive and do not go back!

  Richard is a nice guy. I knew him for about 6 years. To think that a top lawyer like him was on £80 per MONTH when I knew him 10 years ago. Such a waste.

  I initially thought the same but then look at them sitting still. Nobody is walking around and the brothers are clearly sitting attentively.

  I think in other areas they anticipate falling numbers by merging circuits together etc. They clearly failed to organize it well on this occasion. Would have been hilarious to have been there.

  A technical clarification re "New Scientist"

  by Doug Mason in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the following is not a criticism of the wts.

  i am providing this for technical clarification and my expectation for accuracy.. endnotes 43 and 45 on page 27 of the wts’s brochure, “the origin of life” refer to the new scientist periodical of 30 may 2009.. the text in the wts’s brochure does not match the text of the new scientist’s online article.

  further investigation shows that the online text does not accurately replicate the text that appeared in print in the physical magazine.

  Academic dishonesty disturbs me too. It completely discredits the organization. But then to point these things out would be frowned upon to say the least as fault finding / murmuring or even apostate thinking! We just want some honesty!

  Did you ever thought this?

  by Theonlyoneleft in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so.. you are a jw or studying, living your life and doing your bit, feverish of spreading the good news to everyone that will listen!.

  you prep yourself for meetings, doing your ministry and applying all that there is into your daily life.. so....i have a question... you know... my clogs.

  when you where completely in the religion, did you ever think about the impact of your way of life and religion towards others, specially those that lived around you such as good friends or family members that didn’t studied?

  We were horrible to our unbelieving family and sadly those ones have either died or want nothing to do with us.

  I won’t go into details but the only time I called my grandparents was to witness to them and I made sure I counted my time and a return visit. Sickening to think of my behavior.

  is the watchtower cult the most hated religion ?

  by stan livedeath in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  hated by many members of the public for their ( former ?

  ) door knocking and preaching at the most inopportune times ( at work for instance ).

  hated by former members who are now shunned by family and former friends.. hated by thousands ( millions maybe ) of pimos who only stay for fear of losing wives / family friends.. can you name any religious cult thats even worse ?.

  newsheep thank you for sharing what seems to be a really horrific experience.

  It seems to me that the average JW enjoys being part of the snoop operation. It’s almost like that’s the only excitement they get in their sad, dreary lives.

  well, i finally made an account.

  i’ve been lurking on here for four or so years, enjoying the debates and experiences of all of you.

  it really helped in that initial year after i woke up, when the frustration and betrayal felt strongest.

  Welcome to the best life ever! That is a life where you are free to pursue your dreams; to leave the world in a better place than you found it; and to be attracted to hot women without the self loathing and guilt that Watchtower imposes on young men for doing so. I’m envious that you’re free at such a young age! Congratulations and welcome to the forum. This is an excellent place for support.

  Dangerous promotion of 'Serving where the need is Greater'

  by eyeslice2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  both the june and july broadcasts featured sections about serving where the need is greater.

  as i recall, my wife watches them as i hover in the background, india and thailand have both been heavily featured.

  next, i hear some friends talking about how they are thinking of moving to india.

  There are some really irresponsible ‘need greaters’ on Instagram who travel to these lands as a family with children. Of course the kids are going to say yes to moving to Thailand or India - it sounds so exciting. The reality is that their childhood and indeed their future educational and career prospects are being sabotaged just so the parents can feel fulfilled in this ridiculous cult.
