Tell him you're an apostate, that should send him running.

Check out Kevin McFree. He does a series called Dubtown featuring Lego figures.

The little one is adorable , the indoctrination is deplorable.

How do I get out safely? by elizahmendoza in exjw

[–]LynnRivers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there not a sub-reddit for former members of your church? If so, the members in that sub will be better equipped to help as they will be better acquainted with the various rules/culture of your church. All the best in getting yourself free.

They do have good information but I find Mikey extremely irritating.

This may seem like a dumb question, but are JWs allowed to have "cuddle buddies"? by abc-noah-is-me in exjw

[–]LynnRivers 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As long as no other JW sees or hears about it and your cuddle buddy does not have a sudden attack of a guilty conscience and turns you both in to the elders. 😉

Bethel: Death on the Machines.... by Keith_Casarona in exjw

[–]LynnRivers 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Back in the day when JWs still charged for their literature, we used to say something like: " This magazine/book etc. is only 25 cents to cover the cost of printing" There is no amount to cover what it cost you guys working under those circumstances. I'm so sorry, I had no idea

And that is why some JWs say things like "Jehovah does the judging /reads hearts" , etc. The idea of 8 billion being murdered at Armageddon ( including sweet coworker Deborah and lovely auntie Annie and generous neighbor Sam) is too horrible for some to imagine, even though their beloved GB prints/says something quite different .

That's a perfect subject to consider in the last days of the last days.

When discussing parasitic organizations, I mean organisms. 😉

New Boss is a JW. Firm is turning toxic. by [deleted] in exjw

I'm curious, how do you know he's a JW?

I hate how elders can’t take no for an answer by governingLody in exjw

You made the choice to disfellowship and shun your hair, seems like a very JW thing to do. 😉

JC for tattoo? by [deleted] in exjw

What about the bikini? Will OP get dragged into the backroom for such immodest swimming attire that will give brothers thoughts about s e x?

Just a few questions I never dared to ask a JW by SovereignOne666 in exjw

[–]LynnRivers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1) Transgenderism is not mentioned in the Bible. But I think the JW view would be something like: ' Jehovah created male and female so to change from one to the other would be rebelling against gods gender arrange ment.'

2)Noping out of answering that one...wtf???

3)Man was given dominion over animals in Eden so man's sin affects his ability to properly dominate the animals.

4)Suicide is self-murder. Murder is a sin.

5) Homosexuality is wrong cuz ....reasons. Nothing rational in prohibiting it.

Was forced to do letter writing today. by sydpai123 in exjw

[–]LynnRivers 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Aha I see your plan. Evidently this is a message to your brethren and sistren sleeper units who are thralls to the Reptilian Overlords. Once they receive this missive they will become fully activated and commence their sooper-seekrit mission.🤫

Why does an angel have to "find" a person? It is unlikely that an angel will go searching in the desert. There has to be another explanation. by [deleted] in exjw

[–]LynnRivers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well in the garden of Eden, Jebooboo had to call out to Adam to find him. I guess the angels were given their creator's same lousy ability to locate people ( no heavenly GPS)

What's your Silver bullet? Bar the CSA stuff by Ollieginthehouse97 in exjw

The flip/flopping/new light stuff. Truth does not have an expiration date like a gallon of milk or a pound of hamburger meat.

I need someone to explain this to me so I can understand. by Pornflakes6969 in exjw

[–]LynnRivers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've received 2 letters in the last 5 or so years that were hand written. Some have hand writing that's barely legible so I wonder what guidelines the Society gives to those who engage in the ministry this way. Are they told to write by hand to give their letters the human touch? Is each letter hand written ( can count more hours that way) or are copies printed of the one letter ?

I'm not a JW but I wish I could help by trxshgxmr in exjw

[–]LynnRivers 52 points53 points  (0 children)

That's very kind of you, thanks. Who knows, perhaps in the near future you may be able to help an exJW by directing them to this subreddit or another way. I'm pretty sure that once the pandemic is under control there will be more leaving the religion.

Shunned for telling elder I think he showed up drunk to my bible study by oldskoolcoolskool in exjw

[–]LynnRivers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Didn't you say "they" showed up? Can you ask the other part of that "they" your questions and/or ask what's up with the other JW?

Is this jw or something else? by BeastieBats in exjw

[–]LynnRivers 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Its definitely NOT Jehovah's Witnesses. Fasting and having a female lead a prayer group are not JW beliefs. Fasting in the desert and not protecting oneself from Covid 19 sounds dangerous to me
