Covid19 "Suggestions" (aka rules)

by Huxley1979 in

jw
friends

so a co just said in his talk yesterday that anyone that doesn't follow the branch's covid19 "suggestions" is disobedient and the type of person that won't survive armageddon.

didn't the letter say that each head of household would choose for himself how to apply the "suggestions"?.

the funny thing is there are other countries where none of these "suggestions" have been given..

You can tell your CO that we were told to only accept things in print in the Watchtower. Then ask where in the Watchtower that is stated.

An old JW friend got back to me ,Phillipine Convention experience and my reply.

by smiddy3 in

this link had to do with the experience that was given by a young witness pioneer in the phillipines convention and her take was on return to jehovah .. an old time friend from the past sent me this link a couple of weeks ago trying to encourage me to come back to the religion and asked me what i thought of it ?.

i said i would if she could reply to my 2 questions first fair enough ?

so far i haven`t heard back from her and i will let you know if and when i do.. the 2 questions i asked her was to do with jehovah`s name and the christian greek scriptures ,especially the ki publication the wt brought out ,the word for word greek to english that didn`t have an equivalent greek word for jehovah .. and the other one was to do with the charge that was given to christians ,followers of jc to witness about jesus with over 20 such scriptures and not one saying anything about being a witness for jehovah anywhere in the nt.. over the years she has always still kept in touch, a little bit eccentric and we had a lot to do with her family and mine back in the day when we were all believers .. .and she is not backward in coming forward about having a go at the elders who she doesn`t agree with .. at the time i looked at the link and have posted somewhere else about it on this forum and mentioned i didn`t see anything about "returning to jehovah" in it .. anyway this was a few weeks ago and i was still waiting to hear from her..today we got mail from her ,,slow mail ,even though we have each others e-mail address .and in the envelope was only the wt "return to jehovah " and inside a $50 note.?.

I’ve heard of hush money. Maybe it’s cognitive dissonance hush money.

Cost to build a hall and the lies of the cult

by JimmyYoung in

i was listening to a podcast on cost to build a hall and there was a brother from the stage saying it costs the cult half a million to build a hall.

lol its bs.

there is no fing way that it cost the cult a half million to build a hall.

User99

I think they would announce a cost for electricity even if they used solar power.

I am a Watchtower survivor

by Sour Grapes in

i really like calling myself a watchtower survivor.

it is not demeaning to other people and is not a negative statement.

when a jdub sees that term it may make them think about why i would call myself a survivor.

User99

If you’re paying attention, you can learn two things from this thread so far. First, you too can be a survivor from the watchtower! Second, don’t cross Anna Marina! 😏

PIMO Elder with a Dilemma

by xjwsrock in

i haven’t been on here in awhile and this is my second user name because i was busted by my pimi wife on the first one.

i have been basically awake since 2013. i have a super dub wife that i love and don’t want to lose and my sick mom in the hall that is a true believer.

stupid religion has gotten between my wife and i (of course).

I would like to share something that has worked for me in similar situations.

Two words: FOR NOW

That may be enough to get others to consider your situation as possibly temporary. And that may be enough to postpone the inevitable questions indefinitely.

”I have a personal situation that makes fulfilling my current elder responsibilities very difficult and stressful. I need to step down FOR NOW.”

Leave it open ended. You may know that you don’t plan to return to being an elder, but you don’t have to share that information with anyone.

Staying a Jehovah's Witness

why the shunning if someone leaves?

why are they working so hard to keep everyone in?

is it money?

User99

The biggest reason for shunning may be to keep those who think they have “the truth” from those who would love to explain why they are sadly mistaken. That seems to explain why family members can still discuss family business but are not allowed to discuss “spiritual matters”.

Have you watched the Smallfoot movie?

by Theonlyoneleft in

so relatable to jw’s.. a funny children’s movie that has a song called “perfection”.. one part goes like this “ if there's a question, causing you to go astray, just stuff it down inside until it goes away”.. poignant song.

check it here:.

Yes! We just watched Smallfoot the other day. Definitely thought about my JW past!
