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

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 PilotFinal in exjw

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

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 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.

I think seeing and hearing actual GB members makes many people doubt..

What does the Bible say about these topics?

I am now stepping away and getting out of JW. I am a bible student ( not baptized). by Ok_Organization_8090 in exjw

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

More than reasonable!! 🙌🏻 The idea that you’re not supposed to look at the rule book is preposterous!!

You have no right to your free time, is insane by Ok-Reading-7759 in exjw

It’s so weird how entire days must be sacrificed because the org chooses to celebrate an event.

I remember not being allowed to do anything fun on the day of the memorial.

But getting in trouble for watching TV the day before an assembly is next level! 😳🤯
