Prediction: no more changes for a long while

by slimboyfat in

i’ve noticed a pattern where things don’t go the way i expect them to go and/or whenever i realise there is a trend and, i mentally adjust for the idea that the trend will continue, the trend stops in its tracks.

so on that basis, and given many people, including myself, and active jws, have been asking ‘what changes will the governing body make next?’ perhaps the (disappointing) answer is: ‘nothing much for a while to come’.

maybe they’ve made the changes they want for now, and will wait a while and see how it’s received.

Microphones reminded of when I did the sound and handed them out to the sound team as a servant.

A young hot shot former bethelite elder comes up to me on the sound booth after the watchower study had started and said 'Go and take the microphone off brother Ian and give it to someone else.'

I said 'Why?' He said 'Ian has grown a beard since last sunday.'

I said 'You're the elder, you tell him - and totally embarrassing him by taking it off him during the watchtower is not going to win him over!'

He went off disgruntled, muttering and angry and proceeded to snatch the mike off him during the meeting and handed it to brother clean shaven..

I wonder now what 'brother Ian' makes of the new beard policy...

Lines you would never hear from a Jehovah's Witness

by Ron.W. in

a slightly tongue in cheek, but also serious roundup of jw speak and why trying to reason with them is like trying to chip through concrete with a plastic spoon.. how many can you think of??.

elder: 'yes.

i read through the material you asked me to at your judicial meeting - you're right we're both in a cult!

The epicenter of Friday’s metro-area quake was around Watchtower's former Mountain Farm in Lebanon, NJ

by was a new boy in

'the epicenter of friday’s metro-area quake was around the sleepy, tiny, agricultural town of lebanon, nj — where the temblor sent residents running home from work to check their houses and loved ones.. the us geological survey confirmed that the rare historic 4.8 earthquake struck around 10.23 a.m. near the small borough in hunterdon county — just a stone’s throw from donald trump’s national golf club in bedminster, where a 2.0 magnitude aftershock was felt shortly after.. the incident caused buildings to shake everywhere from the big apple to pennsylvania, connecticut and delaware.. “i was working from my home office in town, and everything started falling off the shelves,” lebanon mayor james pittinger told the post.

“i felt a shake like i’ve never felt in the 30 years i’ve lived here.. “it was one of the craziest things i’ve ever experienced.”.

Advice on fade?

by NotNorwich in

jw
friends

hello, i’ve just joined here and am hoping for some advice.

i was baptised a long time ago but left soon after (da).. i recently returned and have a bible study.

was reinstated about a year ago.

Ron.W.

👍

Really good advice.

You sometimes don't really see the full extent of jw brainwashing until you've had time away from it.

I bumped into a person from another cong who doesn't know I have long faded.

I asked "How's your sister doing. I used to work with her some time ago?"

They answered. "SHE'S NOT IN THE TRUTH ANYMORE!"

I said, "Sorry to hear that, but how is she, is she ok?"

They then answered even more aggressively and dogmatically "I've just told you, SHE'S NOT IN THE TRUTH!"

I said, "Oh, sorry. Is there a family problem, is she giving you all a hard time spiritually?"

They said "No, not at all - SHE'S JUST NOT IN THE TRUTH SO WE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH HER!"

I was tempted to mention the recent advice to reach out to those who had left 'The Truth', but I thought, what's the point, as soon as they realise I no longer go to the hall I will be cut off too.

The point is, I could not see it when I was in - I had to leave to see how utterly odd the jw's are.

Regards

by redsetter2 in

you read this correctly.

i'm a woman, a pimo regular pioneer working for my friend who was redsetter1 on reddit.

Ron.W.

Haven't we seen the same with the title of 'Auxiliary Pioneer'? Basically anyone with a heart beat, now qualifies. And of course, now we have the totally bogus tick box publisher reporting slip.

👍👍

Perhaps they could only pull that off in the future by having a total rebrand and name change??
