Please don't think I'm being cynical, but sometimes it seems the elders only want to visit/shepherd you when they suspect you may have 'gone rogue'/apostate!! 😉😉😉

The Governing Body - Both sides of their coin
by Ron.W. inhow many can you think of.... they speak for god.. it would seem presumptuous to say they speak for god,.
they are neither inspired nor infallible.. they are god's only channel for issuing truth here on earth.
they won't be apologising for any errors/falsehoods they have promoted in the past that fail.. congregation members must be quick and apologise for their errors to avoid harsh discipline/disfellowshipping.. when they change a major belief/doctrine you must not complain or criticise them.

Leaving update
by MissDaSilva injust to give you guys an update on mine and my son’s exit from the matrix.
my son put on his instagram page he was no longer a jw and wished everyone a merry christmas.
🎄💥😳the blocks/unfollows came thick and fast.

Yes, I have faded successfully.
I have fun blanking the ones who made my jw life absolute hell, and warmly greeting the ones I have time for.
Two elders who were so abominably cruel to me and my family looked like they were going to burst into tears when I completely blanked them when they tried to say hello to me.
The same two men literally hounded and persecuted so many families out of the congregation that they had taken a personal dislike to.
I would say many of these 'hardline' elders can dish it out , but they go to jelly when they are ignored.
This is just the way I have done it of course.
But everyone's exit from the jw cult must be what is right for them personally

Please NEVER stop talking about the 1969 Awake article. It messed up many young peoples lives, some of whom are posting here now.
👍👍
I totally agree!
Since that stupid article was written I have gone from being a child to an adult to a parent to a grandparent.
Everybody needs to know the shite they published and now try to hide!

How many can you think of...
They speak for God.

Congregation members must be quick and apologise for their errors to avoid harsh discipline/disfellowshipping.
When they change a major belief/doctrine you must not complain or criticise them.
Try changing your beliefs whilst still a jw and see if they complain or criticise you..
I'm sure you can think of more...

Wasn’t the first time either. In the book he just couldn’t stay off that subject, and even after he had moved on from it he circled back to relate the story about humping Christmas trees.
