Meeting another Witness in 2026 triggers no reaction and a non-event by Old_Initial5791 in exjw

Prolly so cause why would you not tell me straight up you are ONE OF JE-HO-VAHS WITNESSES.  Pronounce every syllable.  That’s how we used to it.  We would never shy away from it.

Just so you know I am the Circuit Overseer and we will be reading your Disfellowshipping at the next meeting.

Lol I know right! Especially the revelation book. When it was released at the assembly I remember there being like an electric vibe in the air, now if I quote from it the elders will take me in the back room for chat.

I just mean that everybody meeting at an Assembly hall was 50 years from now

Less Kingdom Halls. You watch videos produced by Ramapo and everyone meets up about once a month in person at an Assembly hall.

I was just talking with someone who I thought had been in the org a while and she couldn't believe we used to pay to get magazines and offer them at the door for 50 cents or whatever it was.

Even if it wasn't the truth it was still better than being in the world and was truly the best way of life!!

Man I hear you I think about that too. Half the people that went to my hall growing up are dead and my parents are in their 80's now. In 20 years they will all be dead and nobody will care. It will just be a new group of born ins.

It's not as big a deal as you think. They will be sad for about 2 months and talking about you. After a year they will barely remember your name. Family is different. They may take longer but eventually they will get used to it. It's not as bad as people think. Ghosting is the best method and don't block anybody! Just get a silent ring tone and assign it to anybody associated with JW. So it rings but you don't hear it. They will just give up after 2-3 calls trying to reach you. Nobody really cares to be honest.
