if you once were fully pimi and truly believed jw doctrine to the core like i once did, when you come to the reality that it is not the truth at all it can be extremely devastating.. i think only other ex jws could ever understand.
i wasted my entire life i thought the real life was yet to come to wasted the best years knocking on doors.
now i’m so angry.. i can understand why so many top themselves when they realise it was all lies..
A lifelong friend confided almost word for word to me the original post quite a few years ago.
Then, surprisingly after a few life altering events, and doing 'research' they went back into the borg. I suppose as long as they are happy that's the main thing I tell myself...
okay people, you know the drill.
give us your best estimate for where jabba the hut's fatter, broker cousin will be with patrons on january 2.. some numbers to consider:.
last september is when he did his beg-fest and peaked at 478. just two months later, early november, he was down to 427. .
Good luck everybody.😉
383 for me please - thanks!
been in for 20 plus years but decided to get out with my son.

never seen such hypocrisy and clickyness anywhere else.

I don't blame you. The coverups and hypocrisy that made me eventually leave would just not believed if I told you.
NotFormer: WT's default reaction is to double down. The trouble with telling yourself and everyone around you that you are always right is that everyone starts believing it. In life, even the things that you could originally claim to be right about can change, so that you become wrong. If you believe that you are always right, you won't make the necessary changes.

What an excellent summation. It really nails so much of the jw mindset.

So, in my opinion, Covid broke the Cult. From the bottom up. No wonder the Org is angry and desperate. They're used to having control from the top down. But, the cat has been let out of the bag and the old pussycat ain't going back in anytime soon.
Good points. I agree!
👍👍
put in your bets as to where you think lard i mean lloyd evans will land after december's drop in his patrons.
in september he started at 457 patrons, did his whiny begging fest and peaked at 478, but then dropped down to 439 at the beginning of october.
as of this moment (nov. 6), he's at 427 paid members.. so, where do you think he'll be on december 2nd?
Brilliant!
Well done Kim!👍
uh oh, looks like the mega thread gave up the ghost, so while i investigate / fix it just continue the discussion here .... it's been a long 9 years lloyd evans / john cedars.
I think he would feel insulted at having to produce anything,,,
👍👍👍
The original post made me wonder how the branch is treating the CO if he talks to the appointed men like that.
I noticed before I left that the CO would be so kind and loving and understanding in his talks to the publishers in the congregation.
Then in our meeting with him as servants and elders he would have an attitude quite similar to the one mentioned in the original post..
here i will quote a post written by "littleone" on another forum:.
when that original congregation apostasized, it formed the roman catholic church.
was it that the roman catholic church was jehovah's organization?
Biahi:
Are JW’s God’s organization? No.
👍👍👍
