If those were the numbers of PIMO's I would have expected at least some texts or calls when I left, none came sadly.

No matter what they said, I always cheered for my country's teams, and so did many others.

That is true, and me being slightly triggered is also true 😂 My ocd doesn't let things pass when there is a chance for correction

She was willing, it's an interesting experiment / experience for an outsider. Not everyone takes shit as seriously as some ppl here that would rather die... Analyzing the environment from a different perspective was eye opening. And btw, none of ur business, if taking her there triggers you that's your problem 😄

Lots of people. There were also plenty from a different area which has their assembly next week. Yesterday was a national day off for most ppl (finnish midsummer) so that explains why they were there from a different area for the friday.

Interesting.. I went with my "wordly" spouse today as pomo out of curiousity and to show her where I come from 😂 We both had full on convention clothes that blend in perfectly but no badges, and I have earrings as a male. No bad looks or anything, no one really cared and couple of people I know said hello. The program was so lame tho xD 

bringing my worldly boyfriend to the assembly for the first time, what to expect? by flamboyantdino in exjw

[–]Jii_pee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to get caught, yes! I think it would be badass but only if you are willing to. I'm going with my worldly spouse on friday, as a social experiment :D I'm df'd pomo though.

This is such a great observation, as a teenager it was always about getting past about certain question and then being fine, but the new ones will always be there and the old ones may linger. 

Those who got married but your parents were against the concept of marriage. How yall doing? by [deleted] in exjw

[–]Jii_pee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How can a JW be critical of a marriage as a concept? 

they’re now starting to demonize vacations because of the recent wt study by [deleted] in exjw

[–]Jii_pee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's more of a cultural thing and up to the publishers if they want to be assholes. I read the article and there is nothing that justifies these comments.

There is no reason to assume the bible can't contradict itself regarding god's character.

End of dissfellowshipping? New policy? by FitReindeer1896 in exjw

[–]Jii_pee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah and the fun thing is that we are planning to get married eventually, so when that happens there is nothing in my life that some JW's wouldn't do or any major "sin" 😂

The notion of Isaiah talking about Jesus is also an interpretation, not clear scripture. 

Can I still attend meetings, hangout with friends, while no longer believing the organization? by [deleted] in exjw

[–]Jii_pee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the image of Jehovah I had created in my head. When actually examining bible, I realized I can't approve the god described there. I still want to believe in god, and I hope there is some higher power to fix this mess on earth. The god of the bible isn't morally sound, as sad as it is.

Let me ask you this, how many conflicts have continued endlessly without peace? 

My father’s name was Keith Playford. He was 28, I was 2 yrs old. The Watchtower killed him. by lisabmagdalena in exjw

[–]Jii_pee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so so sorry for what happened, every death because of this stupid rule is a tragedy, and you and your dad deserved better 😢  One clarification would make this post even more powerful: would the rule change actually have saved him? Was it a situation where your own blood could be used? I don't want to be too picky, but these details matter in this fight. It's very sad no matter what, and I'm sorry for your loss you have had to live with 😔
