I can relate something similar to Bluesbrother. I hear reports of ones when they leave of harassment by elders. When I left, and to this point in time, I’ve heard nothing. So much so, that I don’t know if it was a blessing at their lack of interest or an insult. Idk so much for going after the lost sheep.

Guaranteed way not to get disfellowshipped
by ExBethelitenowPIMA inif it’s looking like someone may be disfellowshiped or announced they are no longer a jw and they don’t want to be shunned they just want to fade without being shunned - just say that would make me suicidal .
simple.
in the new shepherding book it says if they say that then don’t go ahead with it.

Confirmed: CO Discourages Zoom
by XBEHERE ini can confirm that the co during one of his service talks stated that zoom is a provision for elderly, infirmed, as well as people who might need it on occasion due to health reasons, otherwise you are expected to be in person at meetings and in the ministry.
this had to come down from the top.
maybe they do not want to put it in a gb update or broadcast since that would be too public i suppose.

Although I still hold onto the Christian ethos. I’m so glad that I left the nonsense of the JWs a decade ago. I think were many trip up when leaving the JWs, particularly the youth. Is in visioning greater freedom out side of the JWs, only to be entrapped in another form slavery in secularisation. I think the reasons for leaving the JWs can affect how well you’ll do on the outside. I left not for secularisation in itself but rather a vote of no confidence of 8 guys in New York. Hence I mostly avoided the pitfalls. The best advice I give for those considering leaving, particularly if they are young. Is “the body is a temple, and is to be kept clean. Remember that and you will do well. Don’t, and you’ll get yourself into a world of hurting. I have a cousin who ignored this. He’s now living under a bridge addicted to Meth. Tbh even though as a JW he was a narcissistic little prick, he probably would have been better off if he had stayed.

In the country I live in there are more vape shops than McDonalds, KFC, and BK combined. Heard that on the radio the other night.
For the country I live in. Methamphetamine seizures by police were up 1,400% from 12 months ago.
For the country I live in Cocain has a street value four times that of its value in America. We are the 3rd highest priced market for Cocain in the world. It’s understandable cartels are breaking their necks to supply the market here.
We are also the 3rd fattest nation in the world.
Trust me it’s not something I’m proud of.

by RULES & REGULATIONS inanother boring and repetitive ''watchtower study.
'' all the articles are about the ''faithful and discreet slave.''.
for whatever reason, you tolerate this for years.
