I think I may be moving on shortly. I officially joined this web-site 12 years ago as PIMO about to exit the organisation. I had spent about a year before that, as just a none commenting member. There has been no other web sight that has had such a life changing impact on me. Thank you so much Simon. I remember my first post entitled "I'm just tired of this." I was surprised that I had 3 different members here give me their numbers, saying I could call them. Which I found surprising and very moving, considering how apostates are portrayed. Thank you so much for your very kind words Flipper. In that time I've seen a lot come and go.
I have found just recently that my interest in things XJW has slowly weaned over time. In fact I find it now just irritating. My commenting on here over time has gone down as well. I know JWisim is a scam and I can't really go any further. I've made some good friends on here, Fat boy slim. One day fat boy slim May come for a visit idk. But I think I'm moving on. All the best you good people.

While PIMO, progressing to POMO, I was assigned to count attendance. 2/3 were over the age of 50. Another thing I noticed is the lack of youth present.

In the Spanish speaking community, the views can be in the millions. I find it quite staggering really.

I live in a country, where they were investigated for handling of CSA. Tbh I felt it was a waste of time and money for the government. It was basically a big nothing burger for what it achieved both with notifying the public about the JWs and the JWs themselves. My relatives are totally unaware of this, and even more unaware that it's collapsing.

i just saw the new wt is up and available.

the cover picture looks to me like the one that should have been used on the august 2024 wt but was pulled at the last minute and released with a different picture many weeks later.

someone on here uploaded a low res version of the picture last year.. of course we all know why the picture was pulled in the first place........ george.

not really a scandal, but serena williams doing the crip walk on national tv wtf .

If I was the person, in the service department, who got a phone call from the elders in Serena's congregation. I would strongly tell them "to look the other way." Even allowing her to get baptised, one would ask "what were those elders thinking." Like her predecessors (Brothers Prince, Jackson, and Sister Roco), they have now created a massive problem between how this looks internally, to the backlash they would receive if Serena was removed. In my opinion doing nothing is the best option, but it would certainly have to further erode the already diminished, credibility of the borg. However, in the case of Brother Jackson, getting rid of that guy was certainly a good decision. Just imagine the backlash now, if it came to light, they applied the 2 witness rule to one of his victims. Its saved them a massive headache now.

They have really created a hornets nest with women. Like Michael Jackson, they never should have allowed her to get baptised.

i have just read a post about february 2025 (i suppose) announcements in italy saying that from now on at assemblies they need a pass, given by elders, to put on cars.. is that possible/true?.

thanks!.

Getting out of the car park at the end of the day is a nightmare apparently.
Then my advice is don't go at all.
