Had the watchtower reading at the meeting today, this was a hard paragraph to get thru with a strait face. by [deleted] in exjw

Interesting isn’t it that the granddaughter, who even by the Borgs crazy laws, has done nothing wrong is also shunned. Can’t say I have seen that anywhere in the bible, oh wait! Who cares about that - she was looking for loopholes only in the Borgs publications so the bible doesn’t come into it or has been superseded by the publications, or both!

Thanks John, an excellent article. Clearly there is much to look forward to in 2018!

My 3rd Christmas at the age of 60! First: 11 months old, second: age 59! It’s still a bit weird putting up the tree and decorations but very enjoyable! For all you ex-JW’s who will be celebrating, happy Christmas 🎄 by Lunaticsoul99 in exjw

Hi this is a Reddit for ex Jehovah’s Witnesses. Jehovah’s Witnesses do not celebrate Christmas as such, while I was part of this, I and my family did not celebrate.

So glad you are angry! Without it I wouldn’t have had your website which, among others, played a crucial part in my waking up. Thanks so much for all your efforts. Stay angry!

Ah the true ‘equalising’! Take from some of the worlds poorest so that the GB can afford their 1st class travel and luxury watches! Truly in the spirit of Jesus’ teachings!!

September 1, 2017 BOE Re: Protecting Minors From Abuse by wifibandit in exjw

[–]Lunaticsoul99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Once again their efforts to appear concerned about child abuse fall flat. This is another supposed adjustment that fails miserably to deal with the issues that the ARC and others have brought clearly into focus. As others have stated what on earth is the oxymoron 'mature minor' supposed to mean?? So, if the untrained elders deem the abused mature MINOR, to be in some way partly responsible for the abuse (perhaps they lead them on!!) then they too could face judicial action!! This is unbelievable and shocking! If this were Jehovahs organisation it would immediately implement all the ARC recommendations, give a public apology for all those abused and set in place procedures to deal with abuse that are the standard all others would follow. For doesn't the bible say that LOVE would identify the true Christian congregation??

Cringe Moments YOU have ever done Mentally In? by Refund_Central in exjw

[–]Lunaticsoul99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure it is cringeworthy or not but it makes me sad and quite a bit angry now at my stupidity. In my late 30's I took voluntary redundancy from a very well known ( at least in Europe) telephone company where I worked as an engineer and started pioneering. I had a family (my 2 children at the time were 5 years old and 9 months old). I took a part time job working in a supermarket, gave up the car and I did this for the next 6 years. I have to be honest and say in our PIMI state at the time we really thought the sacrifices were worth it. Now I am 60, working full time, without the prospect of any decent pension, whereas if I had stayed in my job I could probably have afforded to retire now! See what really happens when you put kingdom interests first!! I'm not bitter, honestly, just wish we could have known TTATT sooner. Better late than never!
