First Time Ever..

i received a phone call from a jw inviting me to the "special talk.

" in 25 years out, never happened, don't know them, phone # nowhere near me and it was like she was reading from a script.

i hung up... any one else?.

"Phone Witnessing" became even bigger during COVID. Before, it was simply for the elderly or infirm that couldn't pound the pavement or stand by a cart. But once COVID hit, a lot of people switched to the "convenience" of it and never went back.

I've gotten calls (random stranger JW's) as well as a letter inviting me to the CONvention the other summer. (the one with Lett's "Little enemies of Gawwwwd" comment)

I used both as opportunities to "fine witness" to these clowns with some real hard-hitting "truth about the truth." My favourite was the letter I got from a local elderly lady. She made the mistake of using her home address instead of the Kingdumb Hell address. I used the Kingdumb Hell address as the "sent by" address, hence masking my identity. I found out she's like 70 years old. She got a 10 page typed letter from me outlining my life raised in this cult, the WT's UN involvement, real estate money grab, CSA lawsuits which are easily found using Google, filling her into as to why so many "yanng onezzzz" are leaving, and also further detailing the child sexual abuse that was apparently all around me in the Congregations I grew up. I also told her how this is NOT the religion I was born and raised in, it was now a money-grubbing televangelist real estate CULT, and that I would be embarrassed to even be associated with the JW's today with all that's changed and going on. Oh, to have been a fly on the wall of that woman's room when she read thru that one! lol

Lloyd confronting Tony Morris would be hysterical. I think I'd pay money to see that. You can bet Tony was shown Lloyd's "Bottlegate" Youtube video by someone either at WT HQ (in response to him being out buying booze on a Sunday morning) or even possibly by his sons, after being questioned about his behaviour by numerous sources/Bethelites. I'd find it hard to believe Tony wouldn't be aware of that segment. (which in all honesty, was probably Lloyd's greatest segment, and I enjoyed it - no lie!)

Tony Morris, being ex-military and a Vietnam Veteran, would most likely stomp the shit out of LadyBoi Evans. Even intoxicated, Fat Tony would win big. Lloyd would fold in half and go into the fetal position on the ground and ask for his mommy. Tony would then unzip and piss on him while laughing manically. The End.

1/2 of the Jehovah’s witnesses have gone

there are 1/2 of the jehovah’s witnesses that there were 30 years ago in my area.

some have left but i think that many have died and none of their kids stayed being jehovah’s witnesses.

7 congregations have been dissolved over the years.

All the anti-vaxx nutters on here I'm betting have NEVER seen, much less lost a family member to:

1. Small Pox

2. Polio

3. Malaria

4. Yellow Fever

Why? VACCINES!

While there is definite scientific studies about aluminum contributing to Alzheimer's, it's due to prolonged exposure (like with underarm deodorant and cooking/eating utensils). As a result, more and more deodorants are going "aluminum free."

I'm shocked Simon allows this crazy ass shit on here. And I'm actually quite health conscious about eating organic, not using additives, eating NONGMO foods, etc.

This anti-vaxx shit is crazy as fugg! Sure everyone can decide for themselves whether or not to have it, but stating it CAUSES death? In a fraction of already immune compromised people, or elderly near death already, sure! Asprin also kills several people around the world each year. What, you're not going to ever take an Asprin? lol.

Put on your tin foil (not aluminum) hats and crawl back into your cave. Derp-Derp!

I laugh my ass off when someone asks about him on the EX-JW Reddit forum, and almost immediately his shenanigans are brought up. AKA: Trips to Thailand for underage hookers with patreon funding, behind his wife's back, and constant money-grubbing and victim shaming.

Oh sure, you've got a few of his paying trolls who post that "I don't care what he does in his personal life, he's done sooooooo much goooooood with his Youtube videos", but they are few and far between and pretty much shot down by everyone else with 2 brain cells and an ounce of humanity for his ex-wife's and children's feelings.

This fraud's goose is cooked; he's done, gone, a total has-been, except that he never-was, he was a wanna-be Ray Franz and even at that, wouldn't be fit to carry Ray's jock strap. A fart in the wind.

Why oh why, does his smell have to linger? lol

@Newly Enlightened

They were most likely referring to his Youtube melt-down from a couple years back where he admitted to his ongoing troubles, holidays to Thailand to "date" escorts, etc, etc, etc. He later deleted the live podcast, but since other people had recorded it, it's still up and around on Youtube, etc. It's an total shit-show and really has him showing his ass for the world to see.

Only the truly old, and truly brain-dead and possibly ignorant, sheltered, homeschooled offspring remain. At least, that's what's left in my area. That, and those large construction-owning "Legacy" families. You know the ones; they all are Elders with businesses who's kids intermarry with other elite Elder business own families and basically run the entire Kingdom Hall with an iron fist.

So to summarize:

1. Old timers that are so invested, they can't leave or they'd mentally crack and then die from the shock.

2. Homeschooled morons with ZERO critical thinking skills.

3. Legacy Families. Multi-generational families who's Elduh fathers own businesses, employ pauper JW's, and their children marry other Legacy family children and run the KH as MS's, Elduh's, and snooty entitled Elderette bee-itches. They've seemingly got it made, so even if they "woke up" to the BS, they're so surrounded and intermarried into the cult that they're nearly forced to remain in agony, or else completely up and leave after waking up their immediate family. (it does happen on occasion though)

4. 3rd World immigrants who don't yet have access to the internet to Google "JW's." This segment is actually shrinking as more and more of the world is connected to the information superhighway via smartphones and tablets, etc.

This cult is circling the bowl, hence WT HQ's self-preservation tactics of Irish investment portfolios, real estate portfolios, and the push for multi-media. I fully expect a pay-for-play subscription service to kick-off once the Ram-A-Poo studios are completed. These investments and the selling off of property will ensure that the con-men at the top, remain at the compound to live a cushy life for decades to come, unless the US Government and the lawsuits bleed them dry of all their money. Death by a 1000 CSA lawsuits would be VERY fitting, IMHO.

Anyone between the ages of 18-50 who has 2 fully functioning brain cells, a smart phone, and even the most basic of "Huh, that doesn't seem to make sense" floating around in their heads, has Googled this cult and started down the rabbit hole and towards being POMO.

JW's: It's like Scientology 2.0 now. A complete laughing stock of fraud and despair. Who actually joins Scientology? Nobody. Only children of Scientologists, and that's rarer and rarer. Circling the bowl.

Will the last person out, shut off the Old Light? lol

New World, New World Order, New System of Things

by blondie in

the wts has used to above terms, over the years, some more preferred in certain time periods.

more though, but these occurred to me first.

also the terms "new world" and "new world order" have been used by some us presidents and other leaders..

WingCommander

I've only ever heard Old Timers use the term "New Order."

Growing up in the 80's thru 2000 it was always "The New System of Things."

In fact, you could gauge how old or rather how long a person had a been JW by the term they used. If someone used "New Order" you know they were either old or in long enough to have studied those older publications because they used it. I'd guess the "Live Forever" book is the publication that got "New System of Things" really rolling and it stuck the longest.

I've never heard any JW's used the term "New World Order", UNLESS they were referencing something some political outside that was being discussed at the time. Like George Bush using it, or in relation to the United Nations, etc. The closest thing to that in JW-terms was the title of their bible, "The New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures", which was pure garbage according Dr. J.R. Mantay. (whom WatchTower misquoted about the deity of the Christ.) Source: the 1986 documentary, "Witnesses of Jehovah" where he was interviewed.

On a similar tangent, we could start a thread about the evolution of this cult's name throughout it's existence:

1. Bible Students

2. IBSA

3. Jehovah's Witnesses

4. The WatchTower Society of Pennsylvania

5. The Society

6. The Organization

7. The Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses (mostly seen on WT letterhead correspondence)

8. JW.borg

Their father is a Pizza Chit! He saw them less as daughters, and more as a "Golden Ticket" out of da 'hood! He built them up, marketed them, and cashed out. Typical USER. He would have made a great Elder, except there was no money to be made in it. lol
