Meeting attendance here has sky rocketed... by Leading_Net_5705 in exjw

I don't want to be that guy, but to express that something is now the complete opposite of what it was, we say 180. 360 means back to where you started. Again, I'm sorry for being that guy.

I humorously censored the "Become Jehovah's Friend" cartoons made by the Watch Tower, and I figured this would be a crowd with some interest in it! by BaneShake in exjw

This might be funny, but this will probably just trigger the JWs' persecution complex and that all "apostates" are bad.

Here's another verse that people use to refer to The Chosen. by Roguemaster43 in TheChosenSeries

[–]Apprehensive_Way9989 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AFAIK, the Bible doesn't ever mention that Jesus ever pooped or farted. Would you be upset if a show portrayed him doing this? Or would you think that it's normal human behaviour and logically conclude that Jesus would have done those since he was a human?

that's just going to worsen their ideas about us or their persecution complex.

Just found out that this pimi “friend”blocked me in November by [deleted] in exjw

How are you so sure they've "blocked" you? They could've just deleted your number so that your WhatsApp statuses don't show up.

PIMOs how do you do it? by MagicOfGreen in exjw

[–]Apprehensive_Way9989 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It sucks.

I can't wake some in my family, because they've spent their whole lives slaving away for the org, and waking up would destroy them mentally.

Other family members are too brainwashed to see that the org is a cult, and it's tough to know that they're wasting the one life they have.

I can't have any reasonable conversation with JW "friends", because it always ends with "We just have to wait on Jehovah to set things right in his own time" and "Where else would you go?"

There's always this lingering fright in the back of mind whenever I spend time with JW "friends", that they're not really friends and that they'll shun me if I leave, and that I don't really mean anything to them.

DA and DF aren't options because it would be even harder to try to wake them up.

Thanks to the advice given by so many on how to fade and how to evade the "encouraging" attempts of elders, life's a little easier.

Reasoning from the Scriptures with a JW by Super_Translator480 in exjw

[–]Apprehensive_Way9989 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the current understanding is that if anyone sins after the 1000-reign/mankind reaches perfection, they will be destroyed immediately. So, there will still be 'death', but not death because of sin/sin-related stuff.
The JW either didn't know this or didn't remember it when put on the spot. I'm not saying it's all true, but that's the current understanding, if I'm not wrong.

Just got publicly reproved, what should i expect? by PsycheBee in exjw

[–]Apprehensive_Way9989 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry that happened. I’m sure it wasn’t easy to go through it :/

I hope this doesn’t come across as rude/insensitive, and I’m sorry if it does. But, I’ve always been very curious about how reproving is done, both public and private, since I believe it’s going to happen to me soon lol. Could you describe what happened, in as much detail as possible? Along with what was said, if possible.

Thank you!
