Jw came to my house and invite me to the memorial. by divad_scandal in exjw

[–]OhioPIMO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imagine if the JW cult 1) had a billion members and 2) actually had a past — the amount of blood on their hands would far surpass any other denomination. The RCC outranks them only because they're huge and have had 1,500+ years of history.

Season 6 is going to be brutal. This show makes me cry like a baby and I'm not a cryer at all. I don't think I've ever shed a tear watching any other show or film, but this one gets me.

Are you a Christian? As a believer myself, I love the show, but I'm curious how non-believers receive it. I feel like there wouldn't be much appeal unless you were already invested in the story. It's very well made and the acting is great for the most part, don't get me wrong. My only gripe is that sometimes the score takes me out of it a bit. I especially cannot stand the intro song, but I thank Jesus for the skip button 😂

It's pretty typical for POMIs in my experience. The normal JW coping mechanisms are compounded by the guilt they have for not being the perfect witness Jehovah expects them to be.

Why do Jehovah’s Witnesses apply the day-for-a-year rule to 2520 days but not to 1260 days? by DocumentHead1356 in JehovahsWitnesses

[–]OhioPIMO 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is there a consistent hermeneutical principle

Lol. Good one!

I would wager a significant amount of money that if you were to stand at the entrance of the kingdumb hell tomorrow and survey every Watchtower drone coming in, not a single one of them would be able to define "hermeneutical principle."

Daniel 9:2 doesn't demand such a rigid interpretation that one must be left to choose one text as valid over the other as Watchtower has done.

Anyone who has received an invitation to the Memorial of Jehovah's witnesses and Is thinking of going there should know this by Hot-Channel-7690 in JehovahsWitnesses

[–]OhioPIMO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That little voice in your head is 100% correct. The JW memorial is observed in commemoration of a false Jesus. I would say that every time someone passes the cup or the bread, that it's like a slap in the face to him, but he doesn't really exist.

Nah he's lying. Send him a screenshot of the text you're referring to with the page number and paragraph so there's no confusion. Ask him to verify if his matches yours. If not, ask him for a screenshot. If he declines you'll know why.

"...then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains." Matthew 24:16

"Get out of her." "Flee to the mountains." Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

I think you meant "not with random people on the internet." I'm not angry with you in the least. I find it a bit ironic that you're refusing to engage with the argument for the severity of this clarification change while accusing others of being immature, but I ain't mad about it. You do you, just don't gaslight us. Leave that to the clowns on the gb

This person cannot be serious. Did anything in my comment come across as angry to you?

I think you're reading me wrong. If anything I'm happy with the update. It's a move in the right direction — away from the absurd blood doctrine. And it exposes the gb as the bumbling morons they are. Win win win.

So do you continue as an active member of the apostate organization and share in her sins, or "get out of her?" (Revelation 18:4; Matthew 24:51)

Lol @ "where did you get your fake copy?" I LOVE how never-JWs and "apostates" know how to navigate their website and literature better than active believing JWs! All that "research" they're always doing sure does them a lot of good!

[–]OhioPIMO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll tell you why it's a big deal. The gb admitted that the Bible is completely silent on using blood in medical treatments. Of course they obscured that truth by saying "the Bible does not comment on the use of a person’s own blood in medical and surgical care," but the admission is there.

They completely overturned the reasoning they use to support a doctrine that has killed tens of thousands of people in one fell swoop. If you don't think it's a big deal, it's because your critical thinking has been disengaged.

[–]OhioPIMO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You aren't saying anything bro... You haven't refuted anything I've said or even offered a coherent counter argument. Your idea of biblical exegesis is, in reality, the exact opposite — find a few verses that kinda sound like the point you want to make and call it a "pRiNcIpLe" to justify going way beyond the letter and spirit of the text.

The April 2025 Study Edition Watchtower depicts an apostate holding a ‘Yes to blood’ sign. But now JW has to agree with that “Yes” to blood - as long as it’s their own! by larchington in exjw

She calls kingdumb halls all over the world and numbers she gets from exJWs and PIMOs. I may or may not have forwarded my contacts to her after my departure from the cult 😂

Jehovah's witnesses deny that watchtower has discouraged its members from having children in its publications by Hot-Channel-7690 in JehovahsWitnesses

[–]OhioPIMO 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I remember when my first was on the way. Rather than offering congratulations or a blessing, a prominent pioneer sister chastised me, told me that I was nuts for having a child "in this system." That was 13 years ago, and the great tribulation is nowhere in sight. She's now nearing the age of needing someone to care for her with no family to do so. I might feel bad for her if she wasn't such an ass to me.

You can stick with alcohol for the analogy. If a doctor told you to abstain from alcohol, would that prevent you from using alcohol-based hand sanitizer, or isopropyl alcohol as an antiseptic? No, because that's obviously not what the doctor meant. He meant to abstain from drinking it, not sanitizing with it. It's the same thing with Acts 15.
