  What Is The Position Of Witnesses For People Who Are Inactive And Don’t Want To Be Bothered By Anyone?

  by minimus in

  i used to have some close friends simply pay me a friendly visit or call to see how i was doing.. i am curious as to whether or not the society instructed witnesses to no longer check on inactive ones and treat them as marked or disfellowshipped..

  I’ve been out 35 years, no one has contacted me. I think I’m free and clear. The funny part is, a couple of years ago, I was out on the street, 2 smiling men approached me to hand me a memorial invitation. I handed it back, and said, “No thanks, I walked away from this religion over 30 years ago.” You should have seen their faces drop. The funny part is that they were doing street work, but after me, they literally jumped into their car and sped off. Lol

  Witness reaching out to me after 20+ years...

  by SouthCentral in

  2. friends

  a few weeks ago; a witness couple from the midwest reached out to me after 25+ years.

  they said they were doing a letter writing campaign and decided to reach out to me… they called on my personal cell phone, which was a little surprising.

  a few days ago, a couple that i knew from over 40 years ago, sent me a text, again to my personal cell phone.. i assume that they just googled my name to get the personal info.

  Sometimes I wonder who of my old JW friends are in, and which are out. I’m not sure if they have even tried to contact me, because I have a different last name than the one I had when I left. Just got back from a 5 day visit to see my mom. She’s the same (sigh).

  The women that abandon “The Good News” are a large army

  by Aimee.Padilla in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  to be born a woman is a great disadvantage in many parts of the world and much more if she is part of a destructive sect like the jehovah’s witnesses where she is submitted to the “theocratic order” being the base that sustains the corporate pyramid, displaying submission at all times before male authority.

  those of us that have been part of this cult can verify that the woman has to carry out a series of practices that for the rest of society is somewhat incomprehensible.

  i’d like to draw your attention to the act of head covering, if for any reason a woman has to pray in public while a male is present, who is not available to lead the prayer, she must cover her head because she wouldn’t be respecting the arrangement of authority if she didn’t.

  They are too arrogant to ever apologize. I hope they go down, quickly.

  meditation now OK

  i see ken flodine spelling saying in the new zoom assembly that you should meditate.

  when i was in the cult that was a huge no no.

  it was called blanking your mind and the demons could take control.

  Should I be surprised that they even show up for these “worldly” hearings. They are so arrogant sometimes.
