it's been 12 years since i submitted my resignation letter, and stopped playing by their rules.. in a spurt of manic rationality, i blew up the bridge, sky high.
knowing that the diseased organ would need to be forever removed, away from anything remotely functional in my mind, body, and soul.
lest i be tempted to return.... so, i left.
We all deserve to be happy...(and to know that our first name isn't "brother" or "sister" lol)
This comment brought back a memory from a year ago of an overly zealous fella in my congregation. I went to greet him one day and called him by his first name. His reply to me was:
"Call me 'Brother So n So'...brother"!
To this day when I cross paths with this knucklehead I ignore his wishes & proceed to address him by his 1st name!🤣🤣🤣
my sister sent me this text a few minutes ago.
what does she know about my relationship with jehovah?
it was followed up by a bunch of links to jw org problem is dialog is not possible her side is the only one to be heard.
I like MeanMrMustard's reply...it's short ñ sweet:
"Awesome, I have a brochure for you too. To get your free copy, all you have to do is go to www.jwfacts.com"."

I/we see it all the time...an employee flattering & ingratiating himself with his employer in hopes of getting a raise or promotion in return.
Though there is no exact mention of money...'Mother' is buttering-up the elderly with this letter for among other things...their continued loyalty and in the end...their $$$!

Another indicator that 'Mother' may be strapped for cash...in bold print just before table of contents yet another plea to the elders for money:
"This publication is not for sale. It is provided as part of a worldwide Bible educational work supported by voluntary donations.
To make a donation, please...donate...!"
These elders make peanuts while serving this organization and now 'Mother' wants the shell.

Wouldn't it just be awesome to receive autograph copies of new Shepherd book by Atlantis & Petra...bet that would really tick-off Mother!🤣
Nice to have another book to read while being homebound...thank you Atlantis team.
so this elder is super brainwashed, as is his wife.
she actually made a comment that she wished antmo 3 was her dad and that he is so cool.
oh my god, i threw up in my mouth.
I got one of those calls from an elder...my reply was: "Don't call me...I'll call you!"
Makes me wonder if all these daily phone calls along with the text & email check-ins/check-ups ordered by the circuit overseers isn't a way to keep homebound elders themselves busy & out of trouble...after all, as the ole saying goes... "an elder's idle mind is the workshop of the Devil!"🤣🤣🤣
not only do they want everyone dressed up for the zoom meetings( which i won't do) they decided to keep the zoom meeting at 1pm sunday!
so they don't upset their spiritual routine!
ugh!
Just when you were wondering how much more ridiculous can this cult get during this crisis...word is...that at either this week's zoom meetings or via emails or by texts messages...the rank & file are being reminded by elders to turn their time in for the month of March...what's next?!?!
not only do they want everyone dressed up for the zoom meetings( which i won't do) they decided to keep the zoom meeting at 1pm sunday!

ugh!
This cult is something else...a letter from "Mother" will be read at midweek zoom meetings to all congregations to the effect:
"Hey y'all...Even though everyone is in a time of crisis...don't forget to send in your donations to the World Wide Work Fund!"
i was raised in this sect, 1st gen. was isolated from any family.
had suicidal attempts because of this sect.
family as always instead of being a backbone of support, victim blamed.
I see nothing but great potential in the person behind the name Youngaposthate!
I look forward to more of your posts!

What does a homebound JW who zooms have in common with a dead person at an open casket viewing?
They're both all dressed-up with no where to go.🤣
