  Template to dump Special Pioneers

  by avaddohn94 in

  "downsizing" has reached special pioneers.. this is the template mexico is using to get rid of many of its special pioneers.

  see how cold and unloving is the language they use.

  a translation attempt is as follows:.

  The end is definitely coming for Special Pioneers! Soon! All hail Jehovah's chariot organization as it runs them over! Thanks for all the fish, goodbye!

  All It Takes Is ONE!

  ive been reading all these posts about bethelites and special pioneers being kicked out in the street and being forced to get a job to provide for themselves..

  and im trying to put myself in their situation and feel the emotions that must be going through their mind.

  what if my wife and i both dropped out of school to pioneer and got married at 18. and what if we were very faithful in listening to everything the organization says.

  Why don't you do anything?

  i'm not jw, so i see this all standing up and very clear from an outsider perspective (i am still seeking my path).

  i joined the blog a few weeks ago.

  i dated a divorced jw (jw from birth) for a couple of years recently.

  Many have broken free and do not have ties to the cult any longer. These choose to forget the latrine they once were associated with and do not wish to reengage it in any form. I can respect that. Not all Ex JW's are activists. They simply want to put it behind them where it belongs.

  It must be a concern of all the information that is now been leaked

  by joe134cd in

  2. experiences

  i have put up previous posts about this in the past, but i just thought that it was worth mentioning again.

  it has to be of concern to them with how quickly information is getting leaked.

  hell it even surprises at just how slowly information spreads by offical means.

  One needn't belong to, or go to, apostate websites to hear about this. It is said that the building halt was announced at Bethel during morning worship recently. So there is that.

  Elder gossip

  by Jumongi in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'll try to keep this short.

  my experience at the hall is elders not really engaging in friendship building communication with anyone.

  the only time they really communicate with you is to counsel you or tell you where you need to make adjustments.

  Ok hate me now, I was pioneering and an elder, single and very in tune with the congregations individual needs. I was shot down repeatedly when I asked what the elder body was going to do to help brother or sister so and so. They said it was not their problem. It helped me get out of the cult so I am not angry with them, just aware how pathetic they are.

  All these changes in the last five years are mindblowing

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i can't begin to count all the changes that have happened in the last five years.. i just read they're getting rid of the theocratic ministry school from cedar's blog.. i remember when they released the new theo school book back in 2001. how times have changed.. it's almost scary in a way what's happening.

  there's barely any time to adapt to one change before another change comes along.. there's been more changes in the last five years than the previous 100 years.. i feel like there's some grand puppet master pulling his string.. what if the governing body are not really in charge but just give the impression they're in charge.

  could there be someone else behind the scenes?.

  They have dumbed it down so much that anyone with two brain cells to rub together will get out of it in no time!

  My Mom Is Dying

  by minimus in

  i just wanted to say that my dear 89 year old mom is terminally ill and will soon pass.

  she is on morphine and hanging on.

  she has been a devout witness for about 60 years and a wonderful mother.

  So sorry to hear this Min. My mom was 71 when she died, so young. Your mom is your mom no matter how old. Even 89 is too young, We never want to give up our loved ones. When mine died I finally understood why all those authors and academy award winners dedicate their awards to their moms! I can say with full understanding, "I know what you are feeling." At least when mine was in her last months she said "The whole thing is bullshit" because no one rallied to support her in her final months.

  Why zombies?

  by FadeToBlack in

  i just saw ww-v with brad pitt the other night (i know i am behind the times, still trying to catch up on movies i missed the last 30 years) and it struck me- why are we always fighting zombies?

  is it just easier to justify the carnage?

  it seems to me, that the most horrific carnage seems to be neighbor-vs-neighbor.

  Zombies must be shot in the head. Nothing else works. I think its a metaphor for all the crazy ideas people hold and how it leads to inhuman violence. Other than that its just a movie.
