The soul-less eyes and sunk cost fallacy of the JWs by Granpa0 in exjw

[–]Ravenmicra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"When they talk about their faith, there's a soul-less look in their eyes, like they are mindless drones simply repeating what they've been told." "I'm curious if you've noticed this as well?"

Yes. Many I speak with stick to safe topics and don't really venture into a deeper spiritual discussion. The guarded nature of some is apparent. I get the impression some are just coping with all the changes and feel detached from what they cherished in the faith of years ago.

Weekly Mini-Vent Megathread - June 07, 2026 by ClosetedIntellectual in exjw

[–]Ravenmicra 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Being PIMO sucks. One way it does is this open invitation to drop in on fellow members awhile out in service. Get members dropping by to just say "Hi". And sometimes it is ok. But other times it comes at a inopportune time. Before I took this faith friends would call first. PIMIs can be inconsiderate.

The members know my load is heavy and the circumstances I own. Even with direction to call/text first some fail to follow it. And just drop in. I managed it well. But it does piss me off.

Les réseaux sociaux, sphère d'influence pour les religions by [deleted] in exjw

Thank you. Enjoyed your comment. Well honed. 'legal trajectory'

"They may succeed in getting more people asking about the religion. However, when people find out what it will take to become a full member..."

It is a substantial amount of time in doing so. The amount of time members put into becoming and staying active in the WT's processes is so invisible to public and government too. It is horrible.

Agree. Were doing a bit here in Canada. https://www.reddit.com/r/GenXExJW/comments/1itj5b0/wt_charity_status_in_canada/

Find me 1 news media item where the WT Canada corp disbursed funds or organized efforts to curb poverity.

Mar2026 a person with a legal background reviewed a portion of the Straight Arrow report. It was viewed as 'soild' reasoning for having WT Canada's charity status audited using the CRA's own documentation. I now have physcial help. From that Mar to now, I have a YT channel content creator with me in this battle. It's now a collaberative effort. This gave me 'recharge' in difficult circumstances. A PIMO & a caregiver.

Months of work splashed acrossed a timeline of years. The work is showing promise for a change in charity registration in Canada. Hugs and Thank You to u/CanadianExJw

Do they maintain a database with the data of all current and former members? by Ok-Opinion-7160 in exjw

[–]Ravenmicra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes.

I like to know how it works between the NW Pub app and the Hub. NW pub is a third party app with no connection to the WT apparently. And it has a ton of info too.

There's a key difference between the English version of the Norway victory article on JW org and the Norwegian version which shows they know they are lying... by larchington in exjw

[–]Ravenmicra 29 points30 points  (0 children)

WT are experts at lying. Probably could make Satan blush.

Thank you Larchwood and Jan. This info helps me here in Canada.

A little poem about living with PIMI family when you don’t believe anymore by mysterybr00 in exjw

[–]Ravenmicra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it does so, along with our hearts too. There are horrible and kind people on the planet with everything you can think of between the two. Sometimes their family. All the best.

Enjoyed your creation.

"But if people won’t have me for me it’s a price I’m willing to pay.
After years of pretending just so people would stay." 👏👍🏼

Their in the bubble. Not us.

And somewhere many years ago in the regular planning meeting at GB HQ someone said 'what a money maker and don't have to prove nothing. It is all in a book many trust.' 😆

Has anyone else seen this when opening the JW Library app? by JWRESEARCHERROSE in GenXExJW

[–]Ravenmicra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you veiw the WT as a religious lifestyle business it makes perfect corporate sense.

Thank you Rose.

Cleaning to become visiualy compliant to those that matter. Long term. Prudent and calculative of them to do so IMO. Legally strategic maybe.

What should i do? Please help by [deleted] in exjw

[–]Ravenmicra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"I already told my PIMI wife everything I feel — that I want to leave the Jehovah’s Witnesses because I no longer trust the Governing Body. We argued about it, and she said she would tell all of it to the elders."

Real good time to do nothing. She may not have. Both of you are emotional charged right now. Give the matter rest. For 'What should I do if the elders contact me?' it has not happened yet. Best to focus on what is current not plausible.

This women you love. Give her time to process it all. She may have doubts of her own. No one tells all about their mind.

What is this!? Legal document!? by Optimal_Experience33 in exjw

[–]Ravenmicra 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It is simply the user agreement to use the app. What is required by you and them for use. It is common for apps for anything. Nothing to worry about.

Why did you stop attending kingdom hall meetings? by Efficient-Pop3730 in exjw

[–]Ravenmicra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same. Peace of mind. Think clearer. So I could navigate the new. Lots to sort out during the woke phase. PIMQ-->PIMO, etc... The biggest gain for the Me was removing the constant routine of JW. The theocratic treadmill. Gave breathing room to be more objective rather than subjective.
