It's been said; "Absence makes the heart grow fonder."
I think that jw's are becoming very fond of not having to go to meetings and 'out in service'.

What Phizzy said--Amen!
I was also a basic born-in mom "got the troof" when I was 4-5. Over 5 1/2 decades of brainwashing. Reality is sometimes hard to accept but because it's real, It has it's on comforting solutions to life. When I found out that Santa Clause wasn't a real person, I was hurt but I moved on! You'll move on also and realize that living in that watchtower fantasy was just that and no more!

I really think that the elders will tire of all the checking up that they are doing now. If this thing goes on for a few more months most elders will become complacent. Most elders are lazy when no one is watching! There is just that special something about not being there physically! IMHO
For faders, I know that there are several 'fringe' witnesses that I call and talk to weekly that are ecstatic over the current situation in the wt organization. Even if they 'attend' a zoom meeting, they have been shutting off the video part and doing other things like surfing the internet on their other devices while the boring meeting is going on. One of my really old friends (totally pimo) spends the time working on his motorcycle in the garage during the zoom meeting the he is 'attending'!
I've personally been completely inactive for 7 years now and even though I still attend some meeting with my pimi wife and have full access to all the congregation members, I do not receive the email link to hook up for the zoom meetings. Only my wife get the invite!

I was 8 back in 1955 when my mom signed me up for the Ministry School so I could give bible readings. Do you remember when the school servant actually had 'roll call' before the meeting started? He would call out our names and we would answer up "here" or "present" just like grade school!
In those days, only 'brothers' were 'enrolled' in the school. Sisters got the "privilege" of hearing 8 year old kids preach to them! lol

The purpose of conversion testimonies and stories
by LeeT ina hunch has just struck me.we get frequent accounts in the literature and videos of people whose dysfunctional lived have been turned around by studying with the jw's and coming to belief in the org (sorry, jehovah).
evangelical type christian groups also use similar testimony stories.here's the hunch:the purpose of these is quite different among jw's compared to other religions.other groups use these testimonies primarily to persuade non-believers.the jw's use them to reinforce the beliefs of those already in the "truth.
"any thoughts?.

The testimonies and stories are always entertaining but rarely factual. I always got a kick out of the "experiences" from some unnamed person is some middle eastern country that escaped all sorts of dangerous situations and persecutions and is now an elder with a full time pioneer wife and 5 kids! lol lol lol!

Had the craziest dream that my wife Disassociated from the JW cult
by goingthruthemotions inwhat a crazy dream, it was so cool....she came to me and told me she da'd from the cult.
i was so happy in my dream.
when i woke, it took me a few seconds to realize it was only a dream and that she is still brainwashed.

gttm
Hold on to that dream because I know that dreams sometimes do come true.
When I was a teenager, I often dreamed of someday being free of the wt organization. Being able to live my life on my own terms. Imagine!
It took nearly 50 years but my dream is now my reality!

Even some family member will not notice. It’s the golden time for the borderline fader to get the hell out! So, if you have been thinking about it, now is the time to go for it!

Alert: Following blindly jw.org these day / RISK
by Gorbatchov inthis night i could not sleep and my thoughts went on and on.
the result:.
i observe that many jw family members follow the instructions of the elders at zoom meetings like they come directly from god.
