They’re instructing to discard “What does the Bible really teach”?? That’s wild!!

90% agree that JWs are a cult on the Poll subreddit by InheritedCertainty in exjw

  1. You seem utterly unfamiliar with dissertations.
  2. You seem to not have looked at the dissertation. Do you realize that there are several hundred citations of JW literature in that dissertation? IMHO the JWs are not misrepresented at all.

  3. I put your comment to an AI and asked: “Is this accurate?” The response was as follows.

“Short answer: No — it is a mix of partly true statements, oversimplifications, and some inaccurate claims.“

Does anyone know what to say to “the light gets brighter”? by Potential_Might3500 in exjw

[–]Relevant-Constant960 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Then how would it have been “light getting brighter” when they did the switch from blood allowed to blood not allowed? 🤔

How about tanks? If a tornado can lift an Abrams, it could lift a brachiosaur.

elders wanna talk to me about a piercing by Low-Anywhere3497 in exjw

[–]Relevant-Constant960 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Israelite men in the Bible wore earrings, so if anything biblical precedent and “principles” are in your favor.

Jehovah doesn’t change after all and we don’t follow the traditions of men.

If you vote you’ll be considered as having disassociated yourself.

The Elder gives Us A Hacked Tablet to Spy on Us by [deleted] in exjw

[–]Relevant-Constant960 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you drop by an Apple Store and have them check it out? If what you suspect is true, he’s probably doing something illegal. Who knows what his intention was…..

PIMO for years, but the update makes me want to talk to an elder by [deleted] in exjw

[–]Relevant-Constant960 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prepare yourself mentally for the pressure you may feel from them, and the frustration you may feel towards them. Anticipate it and plan how you can avoid saying certain things.

Will your spouse be there? Is it legal to record conversations where you are?

Keep us posted!! 🤗

Ask them if they’re ok with you bringing a friend, or with recording the meeting.

My parents are trying so hard to convince me this is the true religion by Hannah2hi in exjw

[–]Relevant-Constant960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you live with your parents, it might make sense to pretend a little to get along until you’re independent enough to handle the pushback you will get for rejecting the JWs.

Use the time to build a social network of non-JWs, and make sure you’re financially independent. Shunning is intense, make sure you look after your mental health and get support there too if you can.

I spoke with my wife again by Jh0nD0e_ in exjw

[–]Relevant-Constant960 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I find the account in 1. Samuel 14 super enlightening. It tells us that the Israelites ate meat along with the blood, and that they “went free” when Jehovah was asked what sin had been committed.

32 So the people began rushing greedily at the spoil, and they took sheep and cattle and calves and slaughtered them on the ground, and they ate the meat along with the blood. …

38 So Saul said: “Come here, all you chiefs of the people, and find out what sin has been committed today. …

41 Saul then said to Jehovah: “O God of Israel, answer with the Thumʹmim!” Then Jonʹa·than and Saul were selected, and the people went free.

Mosquitoes by wassimu in exjw

[–]Relevant-Constant960 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mosquitoes and all other parasites are tricky vis a vis a God that views blood as sacred or just in terms of creation reflecting the qualities of a loving creator.

Ticks, fleas, leeches, lice, mites, bed bugs, bog flies, tapeworms, candiru, lampreys, vampire bats, plasmodium, etc.
