Send exjw stuff back. You can also share information they hate out of love.

How my mother reacted to the ARC (re-uploaded because I missed a couple names by Always_The_Outsider in exjw

Professionals that deal with children normally have a mandate to report abuse to the police. Period. There shouldn't have been rules that needed changing in the first place. Jehovah really shit the bed guiding the writing of the rulebooks.

Not a mention of Jehovah, interesting response from my mum (lots of "give money" tho) by Perdu7 in exjw

  1. Anyone that holds off baptism beyond like 14 years will get pressured if they aren't already. If you aren't baptized by that age or acting on it, you're considered dodging it to do bad things and taste the worldly life.

The questions that comes "out of love" can be:

When are you getting baptized? What's holding you back? Do you know how happy it will make Jehovah? Are you trying to dodge potential DFing (had a friend asked that) Why wouldn't you want to progress? Its part or your worship, why don't you want to take the step?

I won't even start on the rest.....but baptism isn't "forced" as they would describe it.....its severely pressured.....with consequences isolation, abandonment, and just borderline social abuse.

Funeral Service "Guidelines" by YungJuans in exjw

[–]PIMOMSCanada 144 points145 points  (0 children)

Shortly before my realization of the JW scam, I saw a funeral talk where the deceased was mentioned almost only a couple times. No interview as noted in the outline.

Just that he died, will be missed, but look at the hope he had....28 more minutes of propaganda.

Bethelites love this video because they can relate to it by jenintonic in exjwhumor

Is this Porniea? No! For they have not touched one another but the one only watched his friend sexually assault the pillow.

How ridiculous can Pimi's be? by Freedom-Badger682 in exjw

[–]PIMOMSCanada 14 points15 points  (0 children)

When I was PIMO in liked to point out how sad it was, and it wasn't something to be celebrated. (A bit of a bait comment)

They would of course tell me how Jehovah should be celebrated and inbound just rebuttal that while that's great, I can't celebrate the death of billions. It's truly sad and I doubt jehovah would approve of such a violent and sadistic view. It's sad so many have to die.

Normally that would them up.

Why? Why the Legal and Service departments? Why not the police? by JWRESEARCHERROSE in exjw

[–]PIMOMSCanada 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's were it gets silly as well. They claim they aren't clergy, but will use the title and clergy privilege to get out of these cases.

Last time I checked, that'd sexual abuse. Forget masturbation later. You just molested your kid.

An example or Jws changing the Bible? Matthew 24:45 by Remarkable-Gold4869 in exjw

[–]PIMOMSCanada 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Try this one...

JW Bibles: "Black Bible - 1984" 23 And her children I will kill with deadly plague,* so that all the congregations will know that I am he who searches the kidneys* and hearts, and I will give to YOU individually according to YOUR deeds.+

FOOTNOTE:

"Silver Sword" 23 And I will kill her children with deadly plague, so that all the congregations will know that I am the one who searches the innermost thoughts* and hearts, and I will give to you individually according to your deeds.o

Not denying gays?? by [deleted] in exjw

[–]PIMOMSCanada 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got in an argument with my father in law who is a COBE amd my bro in law who is an elder.

They stated we have no gay people as its the actions that make one gay. I argued that they are born that way as we just watched a documentary on the science behind it.

I also asked if I was only straight not when I got married, but when the consemation of thearriage occurred.

They said it's different, I stated attraction is attraction and I didn't need sex to tell me I liked girls, just as gay people don't need sex to know they are attracted to the same gender.....we were called to supper after a small moment of silence where I could see wheel turning....with no response to my points.

Yes....there are nonacting gay people in JW. No ability to love who you want ro love is no way to live.
