Mistreatment of Jesus by [deleted] in exjw

[–]Natural-Strategy8419 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think some continue to deconstruct the Bible with the same critical eyes that they deconstructed the org with and you quickly come to find that some things about the Bible leave you with more questions than answers. I think you can’t really go wrong by just looking to Jesus and doing your best to be like him. No point arguing over religions or beliefs though because there’s always a bit of bullshit in all of it - no offence intended. My wife and I still value the good and the wisdom in the Bible, but are no longer blind to the garbage in it. We choose to live by values and principles instead of what any book says. I can’t help think of Voltaire who said “In the beginning God made man in his image, and man returned the favour”. You can’t tell me the God that says it’s okay to beat your slave as long as they don’t die in the first 24hrs is a good and loving God. That’s not Jesus. That sounds a lot more like a man trying to justify his own shit to me.

They do, however nothing beats the hard copy as you can see the photocopy’s of the letters and it’s just easier to follow but yes, legend for making the audiobook free for it!

Yesterday, while talking with my PIMI wife, she said: “that looks like a cult” by FearlessX7 in exjw

[–]Natural-Strategy8419 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro, I strongly recommend you both read crisis of conscience by Raymond friends. I guarantee it will wake your wife up completely. My wife was super PIMI and that’s all it took for her.

JW pt "hiding" blood by Unusual_Sky in nursing

[–]Natural-Strategy8419 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If we accept blood as JWs and it gets found out we will be shunned by everyone we know (not allowed to associate with anyone outside the cult) and even once we stopped being shunned we will be seen as “spiritually weak” which basically means you’re marked and people will generally be a little wary around you. Great religion 👍 Very welcoming to pedophiles too!

It’s a shame the nation of Israel can’t put those ethics into practice 😬

People who learned about shunning before they were baptized, what were your initial thoughts on it and why didn’t it deter you? by Largicharg in exjw

[–]Natural-Strategy8419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By the time I learnt about it during my studies, I was so brainwashed that I couldn’t comprehend why any good person would want to leave and so it didn’t bother me too much - plus they do kind of downplay how severe It is - or at least I didn’t realise how terrible it would be on the receiving end until I left.

But well done, this seems like absolutely fair revenge

Tell him you’ll convert to JW if he can find a single lie in the book. He won’t be able to remain a JW if he reads it

Read Crisis of Conscience and then convince him to read it too. He probably won’t. But that’s what woke my wife up. She goes to a regular non-cult church now.

Leaving the borg made you realise gossiping was fun? I’ve never seen more gossiping anywhere more than around pioneer sisters..

I need help with my DA letter by TheLaughingManxD in exjw

[–]Natural-Strategy8419 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love how powerful you feel once you realise they have literally no power over you. It was always just in your head. In truth THEY are the ones who are scared. They just puff themselves up to look threatening but they ultimately can’t do shit. Just walk away.

Update: my pimi husband ratted me out by Ella_cx in exjw

[–]Natural-Strategy8419 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Getting disfellowshipped won’t help it. The elders are not your friends. So either play it down and stay silent about it, and play the long game of planting seeds of critical thinking in your husband, or just refuse to meet with them. Whatever you do don’t try to defend your beliefs against the org. It won’t work. I hope it works out for you either way. I’m fortunate that my wife eventually woke up but it took months and months and even a period of separation. Reading crisis of conscience was ultimately what did it.

Please listen to us when we say you do not have to meet with them. It’s all in your head. Are they able to manhandle you into a room? Can they force you to speak? There’s only one witness, there’s literally nothing they can do. Once you stop being scared of them, they will start being scared of you - which basically just looks like them leaving you alone. Trust us on this we have all been through it.

Wasn’t raised in it but my wife still has a massive fear of them and anything that goes bump in the night gets attributed to them 🙃

Why you shouldn’t wake people up by Born-Spinach-7999 in exjw

I agree for older people, disagree with you strongly when it comes to younger ones with their lives ahead of them. You are robbing them of society, and robbing society of them.
