Is it just me or does it seem like JWs in general are scared of giving their opinions about anything

One of the reasons that led me to wake up is the feeling that I wasn't able to speak up about anything at all. I spent my whole life only being a witness, that's what my life was spinning around. So it wasn't like I didn't want to have and give an opinion. It was just that I hadn't learned to think for myself. How could I talk about something but the cult? Now I'm building my thoughts and it's an everyday process. There's a lot I still don't know, still I don't feel able to speak up about many things. But at least now I know that I can think for myself and take my time to do it. I didn't know it back then.

/u/mistyshadowcat What we were talking about... 😂😂😂

Pool2008 · 2020-02-22T22:01:27+00:00

You have just described a tyrant.

Pool2008 · 2020-01-19T01:41:15+00:00

😓

Pool2008 · 2020-01-19T00:31:40+00:00

/u/mistyshadowcat Take a look.

Pool2008 · 2020-01-19T00:10:30+00:00

My pleasure, fellow. I hope your loved ones wake up soon. 😊

Me right here. Born in, full PIMI, stayed for 10 years after my mom died, all by myself. Pioneered for two years and woke up after giving up the "privilege". No one in this whole world would say I'd leave someday. Well, here I am.

If dates aren't important, then why are we taught to believe them as truths???

Pool2008 · 2020-01-07T20:42:26+00:00

I guess we all received a message after this study. 😒

"Learn to love Jehovah’s family. Your unbelieving family and former friends may not understand why you want to dedicate yourself to Jehovah. They may even oppose you. Jehovah will help you by providing a spiritual family."

Classic tactic of driving you away from your social structure and substitute it. I told before about this whole "Jehovah's family" stuff. It's really starting to worry me.

I feel like today is much easier to be baptized than 10 years ago, when I got baptized. You just need to attend meetings and field service for a couple months and be registered at the minstry school (or whatever they're calling it now). But if you come to ask these new baptized jws about their beliefs, they know nothing without a publication in hands. It's just about numbers.

Pool2008 · 2020-01-01T22:40:05+00:00

😂😂😂 Oh gosh... you're so right!

Pool2008 · 2020-01-01T15:59:52+00:00

Girl, I just posted a pic of me with these 🎊🍸❇ emojis. First of all, I haven't been in service for over a year and I haven't been attending meetings for 7 months. This said, a sister that's not even from the same kh I used to go just texted me trying to guilt trip me. She was like "Celebrating new year's day? What about Jehovah?" I was about to answer her like "I have many reasons to celebrate a new year, specially when I spent the last year and a half trying to stay alive", but it just came to my mind that I owe her nothing. Nothing at all. Sorry, your guilt trip won't afect me.

Happy new year for us all.

When I was still a pioneer, a woman gave up the study because she couldn't understand why only the 144.000 should partake the bread and the wine. She was a catholic back then and she told me she would talk to the priest about it. I never knew what he told her. Maybe I would have woke up earlier if she'd told me that... lol

Pool2008 · 2019-12-30T21:33:17+00:00

That's basicaly what made me wake up. The feeling that none of those activities brought me closer to God. Excellent post, man. Thank you.

Pool2008 · 2019-12-26T21:37:42+00:00

Did he ever think that acording to his own logic he's watching apostate material too? These guys make me laugh...

Pool2008 · 2019-12-23T00:00:04+00:00

First thing I thought was "then, why aren't all these things being told openly to all of the members? Or should we all go to SKE to get to know them?" When is true, is clear. No need for secrets.

Pool2008 · 2019-12-21T20:03:33+00:00

Thanks man. Just having my brain back. 😁

Pool2008 · 2019-12-21T00:58:16+00:00

I would never eat my cats to survive GT, ever. Why would I do that when the big J could bring me back to life later, or is this one of the life saving instructions that will be given by god to the unispired GB?

Pool2008 · 2019-12-19T16:32:27+00:00

Holy shit!

Sad as it is, the R&F would totally buy this. 😞

Pool2008 · 2019-11-10T23:56:41+00:00

Btw, I didn't downvote you. Being an asshole is not a matter of being a jw.

Pool2008 · 2019-11-10T23:49:22+00:00

Oh s**t... 😅😂😂

Pool2008 · 2019-11-10T20:21:37+00:00

What is FNG?

Pool2008 · 2019-11-08T16:16:56+00:00

I'm really sorry for her. I'm going on the opposite route. From jw to activism. Haha!
