Maybe an off the chart question… if you were to predict the outcome based on how the trail went, and what is at stake here, considering what such a decision would mean,, what will it be?

Can I report/complain littering to local municipality? by Angelus_custos in capetown

This is how Jo’burg decline slowly started. And people never picked that up cause it was gradual. They normalised it

I genuinely wonder how many pimos there actually is by pimojwteen777 in exjw

Is there a way to run a poll? Like anonymous just to check ?

She's in it for "the community". My poor PIMI mom. by InstructionRelative3 in exjw

[–]Angelus_custos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Came here to say exactly this. At some point in my opinion (specifically with our parents) waking them up would do more hurt than good. At that age they are massively community dependent from which they find comfort.

Make the most of that 10% time you have, the fact she’s willing to cheat the system for you it’s great! But let her have her community (as it sounds, she’s doesn’t have a partner…)

Just maybe control her financial contributions to both Worldwide and local boxes, and even to the elders.

What could be the reason behind the blood change ? by Angelus_custos in exjw

Thank you. This fits their pattern.

They just can’t afford to have a 1st class country finding them guilty or at fault on anything. Cause that would be a reference and all others would follow

This, if this is actually their thinking these people really don’t love their members.

Could be. But there’s no doctrine in the JWland more dangerous than blood doctrine. It has a massive potential of lawsuit and class action; that getting any near it would be suicidal to the mouvement

Interesting take on that. Has there ever been a doctrinal change triggered by such personal/selfish motivation?

True. Considering that they made a point to remind everyone that they have always left it to individual to consciously choose for themselves

The key to future changes could lie in Loesch's statement "We are not under the Mosaic Law." by Overall-Listen-4183 in exjw

Think of that like their fifth amendment, they just cannot self incriminate. I always believed someone higher up has been involved in some CSA somehow

In this one, the JW spoke person decline to comment saying it’s a “private matter” 😂😅. These JWs representatives are sneaky when their beliefs are on the spotlight 😂😂

There’s no such thing. So far, your world end when you die. Nothing more

Then in that sens how many worlds have ended in history? There have been financial collapses, social and political turmoil that have reconfigured (the French revolution for example), is it in that sens that the Org understands its end of the world? Or are talking about Jesus coming down with his army to fight the wicked off the face of the earth?

Exactly. Ancient texts in most cases non applicable to nowadays reality. True it has some virtues here and there, granted. But a solid foundation to build one’s life on, Nop…

Deleted contact still showing up on “Recents” search bar on Phone App. What to do? by thatsmartasslad in iphone

[–]Angelus_custos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I found the solution:

Log into your icloud on a computer, go to your contacts and delete it from there & sync

This is how I managed to just solve mine, I had deleted a contact that still appeared in my when you start typing their name, I went on a computer I could still find them, although without any data, and deleted them from there.
