By the comments here I’d say most would be in the over 50 bracket. That is why the conversation here, and subjects discussed, has so much more depth to it. Then say the likes of reddit. If there is something that I really want to know, this is by far, my first port of call. Love you all guys, you’re a huge source of support.

Ages of each user here?
by ukpimo ini'm interested to know the age demographics here.
it must be significantly different to other exjw forums.
it would be a damning report for watchtower if most of us appear to have left for decades.. you don't have to mention your exact age, you could always say "in my 50s".. i am in my 70s.

I’m no drug rehab expert, but to me his teeth look fine. I’ll wait for more evidence to surface before I start making accusations. It seems that scandal is never far from this guy. It’s a shame really, how things have ended, as his work was to a very high standard. I’ve noticed recently that he has missed, or been slow to responded to, some prime opportunities in watchtower land. He is also the only guy I know of who has been able to make a living on the back of watchtower, and I think in his prime, quite a successful one.

2024--Become a Circuit Overseer in Your Mid-to-Late 20's!
by Atlantis inbecome a circuit overseer in your mid to late 20's.
you would have had to qualify as an elder previously.
this would mean the male would have had to have been an elder in his early 20's.

Remember the sex talks?
by KerryKing ini remember sitting through public talks where the speaker spent the hour discussing in great detail anal sex, masturbation (of yourself and others), sex during menstruation and so on.
.
i was a child, looking back now, i realise that they systematically stripped away our childhood innocence, we knew and heard things no 'worldly' child would have heard.. the child abuse and grooming happened to every single one of us, the feelings of guilt and shame was in all of us even if we didn't actually do anything bad, the mental images caused by these filthy men hung around in our innocent minds till there was no room for that innocence.. it has taken me 44 years to realise that what was done to us, even those of us not physically abused, is a crime.. do they still have talks like that nowadays i wonder?

I remember as a PIMI, been eye witness, to a young 13 year old boy, giving the number 2 talk on masturbation. I went up to the PO and complained about the inappropriateness of it. I told him in no uncertain terms. I remember another occasion of a young MS, who was never married, giving the public talk on marriage. I just laughed, but said nothing .

My father recently commented on a co visit. He reckon the guy that turned up would have been, at the very oldest, in this early 30s. He too agreed about the wisdom of having such a young guy put into that position of responsibility.

JE-sus making a comeback at the 2024 Convention
by dropoffyourkeylee inattended the friday sesson of the 2024 summer convention.. july 5, 2024 summer convention crowd photo; they invited quite a lot of empty chairs.. .
the facility usually has 5500-6500. they spun it saying that fewer congregations were assigned.
there were 6 of the smaller, more distant sections blocked off with tarps to lessen cleaning, which i understand.

How Did You Do It?
by KerryKing inhave any of you here successfully woken up pimi family members or friends and got them out?.
if so, how did you manage to do that, what was the information that made them jolt up out of their hypnotism?.

So far I have woken none of my family members up. Tbh I really don’t want to, and at their age they are better of left there.
However, when I’ve tried. I find I have to pick my arguments carefully. For example I’ve shown this video to show that the lds is part of Babylon the great.

Do we have "original" indipendent documents proving that Rutherford was an alcoholic?
by psyco ini was wondering if you could prove with "original" independent documents that rutherford was an alcoholic.... .
i read penton, but since he is a former jw he could not be considered an independent source.... .

About the women thing. I read somewhere it wasn’t until Knorr took over that the religion become more sex focused and less catholic focused.

Who is this Guy?
by Slidin Fast inthe ra is underway and there is a common thread through the first day.
they have a "presenter" who comes across as an educated historian handling early bible fragments and translations as if he knows what he's doing.
the impression given is that he is an unassailable font of all knowledge, with his rich scottish accent he prints himself as across as professor gravitas.. i find this disturbing, we have no idea who he is or what if any his qualifications are to speak such with authority.

Where is Tony?
by Athanasius inon february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.
a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.
in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.

Apart from their data base of sex offenders, this has to be one of the best kept secrets in Wt history. It’s only a handful of people at the very top who know what really happened. I think his fall out started with the bottlegate video. It certainly wasn’t a good look.
