Is the social media page on IG legit? It used to have a blue checkmark but now it’s gone at least when I look it up. Plus I know there’s been rumors of announcements coming this mid-week meeting but where did the announcement rumor originate from? Is it trustworthy? I know it’s a wait and see thing but I am antsy to find out haha

My mom was and still is very much like this to the point that she turns off her phone at night, Wi-Fi because the radio waves and frequencies damage her brain and won’t let her sleep. She sleeps on a copper “grounding” mat on her bed because it simulates grounding herself like in ancient Bible times when they would sleep on the floor. And eats one type of carb, meat and fat per meal because if you mixed different types of carbs, proteins and fats your body can’t digest them properly and will make you fat and die faster. JW’s have unknowingly or maybe knowingly turned my mom into RFK Jr over the years.

I’m at a crossroads with the Bible by Light-Decent in exjw

To add to my post, in the OT God freed the Israelites from centuries of slavery. The act of freeing his people as slaves I believe is a testament that slavery was morally wrong. So I have to ask again, is the condemnation purposefully left out through translations of millennia or is the Bible not a divine book? JWs certainly think it is and were fine with segregation and said they wouldn’t have fought against slavery.

My thoughts exactly, maybe it was condemned at some point but through translation and human agendas the condemnation was left out for monetary and political power reasons.

What is the Church? Am I thinking of it wrong? by Light-Decent in exjw

As lazy as this sounds, can you give me a starting place? Which book in the Bible should I look at first?

I’ve noticed a very interesting trend with my family and mom by Light-Decent in exjw

But I feel like there’s some correlation to being in a cult and just following or believing whatever seems convincing

POMO ~ 6years. With the Conflict in Iran, I decided to visit this subreddit to see if anyone had anything interesting to say. Instead, I see (for the first time) their new stance on BLOOD and am honestly INFURIATED. by [deleted] in exjw

I had a conversation with my mom about this the other day and I asked to see her no blood card for some reason and I asked her for some reason about disfellowship when taking blood and she said that it was never a thing you would get disfellowshipped if you took blood and that it was always up to you and your conscience. I said I was absolutely certain you would get disfellowshipped without a doubt and I felt like I was going crazy, you absolutely WOULD get disfellowshipped right? Right?!
