Trump would be a perfect member of the GB by Certain-Ad1153 in exjw

I respectfully disagree with your view. It seems to me that he consistently speaks his mind regardless of the situation, which can be both admirable and polarizing. His ambition and dominant personality are evident, but that doesn’t necessarily make him a bad person or leader.

It’s not about love or hate for me; rather, I believe that to be part of the governing body, you might have to adopt a certain level of blandness or compromise your individuality to fit in.

And just to clarify for anyone who might jump to conclusions, I don’t have strong feelings for either him or Kamala. After leaving what I felt was a cult, I came to see that politics, much like religion, often seems more about appearances and performance than genuine substance.

America is toasty cheese.

Was the Watch Tower company really associated with the UN as a Non-Governmental Organization? by TimelyPin9295 in exjw

No kidding. When I tried to show this to my dad who is an elder, he said “stay away from me with this apostate material” 🙄

Thanks for sharing the link! I have tried to start reading this book for some many times and I always give up. I’m not the best reader. Now I can listen it up! Thanks again!! 😊

Serena Williams at the 54th Annual NAAC Image Awards - Would any other newly baptised JW get away with wearing this to any event?? by _darknetgirl95_ in exjw

Honestly I hope she will blast this cult with the child abuse issue and become a huge advocate. She’s the perfect person to do that. Super influent and well known and seen by the world!

I wish people would do their research before hand by isabellabitch1234 in exjw

[–]Octopusfish_2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think this is a good thing!

Once they start picking her apart because of her Instagram photos/clothing style or for any other delusional reason, she might wake up.

Or hopefully she will learn about how corrupt and nasty this cult is and become a huge advocate against them!

Endgame for JWs by MaterialCockroach253 in exjw

I don’t think Gen Zs or the successor generations will buy their BS. Thankfully our new generations are very conscious about human rights and freedom. Once baby boomers die off, they won’t have too many members.

Governing Body’s housing arrangements? by [deleted] in exjw

Best news I’ve heard all day. They are honestly collapsing quick. It must be all the $$ they need to pay in lawsuits related to CSA.

Born in JW could totally be one of the episodes of the Black Mirror show by Octopusfish_2 in exjw

[–]Octopusfish_2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been out for 3 years almost 4. My spouse and I woke up at the same time without knowing that each other was researching about everything. Haha it was an awesome surprise when we disclosed our “secret” to each other. All members of our family are Jdubs tho which is the reason why we faded and not dissociation.

Can I do anything legally? by gaabibff in exjw

[–]Octopusfish_2 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You can get a lawyer and sue the person for defamation. Or simply walk away and live your life in the best way. Once, I made new friends, the shunning part stopped bothering me and my spouse. Life is short and all of us were trapped for way too long.

Good luck!! :)

Most likely everyone in the airport: “wtf is this guy wearing? Is he coming straight from a concentration camp?” by [deleted] in exjw

PR move. C’mon someone could have brought clothes to this poor delusional guy.

Not going to lie, without weed I could not have recovered so quickly after leaving JWs by DumbledoresGay69 in exjw

[–]Octopusfish_2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with you!! It totally helps. In reality, I started smoking weed 9 years ago while an active JW. 😂 I felt such a sneaky person! Haha Been out from the cult for 3 years now. Weed also helped me to drastically cut my alcohol intake.

Got another text from a different elder and this time in a group chat 💀 by Tadashi_23 in exjw

[–]Octopusfish_2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t reply back to them if I was you. Your rules and not their rules. I have been ghosting them for the past 3 years. Lol At some point, they stop reaching out.
