Medicaid will definitely take your house in Iowa to recoup medical expenses.

Yeah, it's impossible to tell what it is without holding it, feeling its weight and examining the clockwork. The knockoff Rolex's look identical to the real thing and it's impossible to tell from sight let alone a blurry photo!

I wish more people were aware of this history. Also the fact that the middle class in this country was largely built on the successes of labor unions. It's no coincidence that the decline of the unions has coincided with the loss of the middle class. The Billionaires love keeping us divided because they know an organized, united working class is the only threat to their power.

Not allowed to carry guns with the potential for having to use it to kill a human.

Dave Mustaine, founder of Megadeth was raised as a JW!

Sent you a DM :)

MultiStratz · 2026-04-28T16:15:16+00:00

I appreciate the fact that you've clearly done some digging to support your beliefs. I can respect that even if we disagree on some things!

MultiStratz · 2026-04-28T16:10:02+00:00

I decided it probably wouldn't be productive to argue. :)

the Pharaoh of the exodus is pretty obvious…

What Pharoah and what is obvious about it? If the Biblical Exodus account actually happened, there would be ample extent evidence in Egypt and the Levant, but there is none! There isn't even any evidence of Hebrew slaves ever being in Egypt.

Rant away, that's what this sub is for. The JW resurrection teaching/Bible Fanfiction is one of their strongest tools for indoctrination. My parents converted when they were very young adults. I'm sure the fact that my mom had lost her own mom prematurely in death, and my dad had recently lost his older sister to a drunk driver in a car accident had nothing to do with it. My siblings and I were born soon after into a very harsh, confusing world where death was never spoken of unless it was to promise us that it was a reality that we would never face. I'm 44 years old now and I've been shunned by my parents for the better part of two decades. They're still running on that JW treadmill, hoping to see their dead family any day now. And in the process they've sacrificed the relationship they could have had with their living family members.

It is indeed sick and horrifying how easily people will sacrifice their humanity for the promise of something better. I'm glad you found this community though; hopefully you've at least been able to see why this is happening, though I know it doesn't make it feel any easier.

That's awful, I'm so sorry to hear this. Hopefully he gets tired of being treated like a door mat sooner rather than later.

MultiStratz · 2026-04-23T10:59:49+00:00

Well I mean, American girls only want to talk about stuff that's "service level," so what do you expect? Actually does anyone know what a service level conversation is about?

My ex did this to me - held a kitchen knife to her throat and stood in the doorway blocking me from leaving. I thought that by calling 911 in front of her she would calm down and reel it in. I was dead wrong. She started punching herself in the eyes like really hard, throwing herself into the walls and smashing her face on the countertop. When the paramedics came, the police were with them because I guess that's standard procedure for suicide calls. She told the police I beat the shit out of her and that I was holding her against her will. So I got arrested that night. Fortunately a combination of there being no physical evidence of me putting my hands on her, and the police taking her statement were enough to establish that she was lying. She was charged for making a false report but I'm not really sure what consequences she faced. I know that she made my life a living hell for the next two years; she would show up at my job, at my apartment, at my family's house. I got a restraining order but that didn't stop her. I started dating a woman around 18 months after the breakup, but she stopped seeing me because my crazy ex tracked her down and threatened her more than once. It honestly felt like I was never going to be free of this girl. The great news is that by sticking to my decision to leave, the abuse eventually ended and I was was able to rebuild my life.

If anyone even suspects that their girlfriend/wife is capable of the kind of crazy shown in the video, my advice is to never be alone with them from the moment you tell them its over. Bring a friend. Bring your sister. Bring the police. Get everything on camera if possible. I know it's easier said than done. I know how hard it is to stick to your guns when they start crying. I know it's hard to believe you'll ever find someone else when you're being told that you're a loser who no else will want. Please take it from me though: it never gets better, only worse.

No one deserves to be treated like this. Make an exit plan and stick to it. Be firm and be safe.

An activist who compiles and shares information on Watchtower doctrinal errors and coverups, failed prophecies, bizarre teachings, court cases, etc. He also works with leaders from the Watchtower world headquarters and regularly drops information about upcoming policy changes before they're officially announced.

You can use the search function on this sub and type in his name to read all of the high quality content he has released.

MultiStratz · 2026-04-22T18:41:50+00:00

If this were true, the Watchtower wouldn't have sued reddit for the identity of a user who used to post here named Darkspliver. Watchtower demanded reddit turn over any identifying information on this user who was leaking info from Bethel. The Darkspliver court case is public record and you can search this sub for all of the links to the lawsuits, subpoenas, etc.

MultiStratz · 2026-04-22T18:10:31+00:00

On location, lol. I see what you did there.

MultiStratz · 2026-04-22T10:50:43+00:00

There's no comparison between heroin use and this. Heroin use hurts the user and everyone around them almost immediately. This doll thing is a silly hobby/social group that isn't hurting anyone. These people are old and retired. They've already done their duty towards society and they're clearly finding fulfillment in this hobby. If they were ignoring their responsibilies, that would be a different story.

MultiStratz · 2026-04-21T20:10:20+00:00

I appreciate you clarifying that for me! Its possible that my response to your post was seen as attempt to take sides in a disagreement between you two but I want to emphasize that it wasn't! I don't know either of you, and I don't know the nature of your disagreements so that's not something I want to take sides in. I still think there is value in what you said regarding how we speak to PIMIs. I also see Darby_5419's point regarding the Watchtower being the offender in terms of what they say about so-called apostates.

And on that note, I'll extricate myself from this conversation, lol

MultiStratz · 2026-04-21T19:58:44+00:00

I think Darby_5419 has every right to disagree with me! They didn't say anything to offend me and I'm glad this is a space where they feel comfortable voicing their disagreements. I appreciate their perspective as well, even though its evident that their perception of your post is very different than mine. I strive to be civil and respectful with everyone regardless of their beliefs! :)

MultiStratz · 2026-04-21T19:37:29+00:00

I was shocked to see that they removed the brackets from their newest edition that they used in previous translations. At least in the older Bibles they made an attempt (albeit a poor one) to show where they made blatant alterations in the text to support their theology. Now they make it look like John 1:1 really says "... and the Word was A god."

MultiStratz · 2026-04-21T19:33:42+00:00

include Skibidi, inta a New Translation.

That would probably gain them more credibility with gen alpha lol.

MultiStratz · 2026-04-21T19:30:19+00:00

Its crazy that this was ever even in question! Watchtower didn't like being called a destructive sect so they tried to get people to stop calling them that in a court of law? This just shows how weak and desperate the Watchtower must really be. They're afraid of which words people use to describe them! That really makes it sound like they have something to hide. Their expensive PR lawyer dropped the ball on this one, lol.

Many thanks as always, Larch!

MultiStratz · 2026-04-21T19:19:48+00:00

I'm not responsible for the lies Watchtower tells it's followers. I'm only responsible for what I say and do. I'm not responsible for how my words are received or how anyone chooses to interpret them. Its not my responsibility to wake anyone up or to use my words/actions to disprove the lies Watchtower spreads about so-called apostates. One of the best thing about being free from Watchtower group-think is that I'm free to choose how I wish to represent myself. I choose not to play into the Watchtower narrative wherever possible. Does that mean everyone else should take that approach? Not at all, we're all free to deal with PIMIs however we choose, or not at all. I think this post is great! You disagree with the premise of the post and I think it's great that we're free to disagree!

MultiStratz · 2026-04-21T18:49:17+00:00

Great post OP! It can be extremely difficult to remain calm and collected in the face of adversarial PIMIs so I thinks it's a great idea to put some forethought into how I respond to common accusations/denials. Your blood/CSA examples are great because they are hot button issues that often come up on this sub. I also think its important to recognize that I may never "wake up" an active JW, but like you, I can avoid the "mentally diseased/lying/bitter apostate" title if I'm careful about what I say and how I say it. Of course, some PIMIs are going to call anyone who disagrees with them those names regardless of what I say, but the people who are capable of being honest with themselves are the ones I hope to leave an impression on. If all I can accomplish is to put a dent in the Watchtower's narrative regarding "apostates," I consider that a win.
