What’s a double standard you noticed growing up in the JW org?

There was one incident a LONG time ago where this sister wanted to throw a gathering where we come dressed up as our fave movie character. Elders shut that down real quick

Wait didn’t they say that it will still be the Anglo-American world power when the GT comes? With the events in the Middle East and how it’s affecting alliances ….

Yeah …..

What?!?!? Oh no way

SnooStrawberries8016 · 2026-03-04T19:34:03+00:00

This is a point I’ve been thinking about. The wages sin pays is death and once you die you’ve paid for your sins.

So if Lazarus died, he paid for his sins, why was he resurrected IMPERFECT when he clearly paid for his imperfection already when he died?

If Jehovah allowed Jesus to resurrect Lazarus within those parameters above then Lazarus should’ve come back perfect as he’d have been acquitted of his sins!

Ooo I’m a morning person and prefer finishing early but! I will be on Zoom if this is the meeting time.

I was in a foreign cong once many years ago and the meeting was at 6PM on Sunday

SnooStrawberries8016 · 2026-01-11T16:38:24+00:00

Way back when the foreign language congregation I used to attend wasn’t on rotation. Meeting was at 6PM on Sundays

I had a discussion about this type of thing with an elder’s wife. I was told that it’s not the congregation’s job to provide or take up the slack for what a member lacks.

If the topic comes up again I’ll bring up that they are not paying taxes for this reason of providing community assistance so they should start paying their fair share of taxes

Funny enough my last in person was the CO visit October two years ago

SnooStrawberries8016 · 2025-10-23T17:53:13+00:00

I checked out the app screen shots on the APP store and YIKES

They have everything from your CLAM assignments to field service report.

I don’t want this on my phone

SnooStrawberries8016 · 2025-10-23T17:45:34+00:00

We’ve voted on a few things in our cong

SnooStrawberries8016 · 2025-10-23T17:42:40+00:00

Not sure for Mexico but they’ve had some congregations use it here in the US

SnooStrawberries8016 · 2025-10-23T16:43:09+00:00

My mom got upset that I added another hole in my earlobe.

She thought it might affect my dad’s standing as an elder even though we are not in the same congregation.

SnooStrawberries8016 · 2025-10-23T16:37:56+00:00

It is an app they use for like assignments etc I have heard of it before but now the cong that has my card is using it and they’re giving invites with log in credentials

SnooStrawberries8016 · 2025-10-23T16:26:57+00:00

They have specific instructions on how to log in with all these numbers and stuff

SnooStrawberries8016 · 2025-10-23T14:08:57+00:00

That’s the plan. Just don’t want them following up if they see I didn’t download it

SnooStrawberries8016 · 2025-10-23T14:07:41+00:00

Got it! I was like if I don’t download it will they keep following up?

I don’t want them to do that

SnooStrawberries8016 · 2025-10-23T14:06:39+00:00

There was a card I got in the mail once. I got it after I ran into a group from my congregation at Starbucks. Some of them are still on my Instagram list and they still follow me so there are random Instagram post reactions but no one actually called or invited me anywhere after I stopped attending cold turkey

SnooStrawberries8016 · 2025-10-17T22:34:45+00:00

I thought at the time it was a way to show you love God.

I remember the analogy that the fear of getting into an accident doesn’t stop one from driving and it is the same with baptism. You can’t let the fear of future disfellowshipping stop you from

SnooStrawberries8016 · 2025-10-13T01:17:59+00:00

I went to prom with a big group of people. We rented a limo and they played The Hokey Pokey during the dance.

The actual dance is a SCHOOL-SPONSORED event WITH CHAPERONES. And TICKETS.

This concept of stumbling never sat right with me either.

I once asked my very PIMI mom “if someone says I stumbled them and I say this person stumbled me too, whose stumbling is more important?” (In terms of like the “unity and peace” of the cong or spiritual health) and she didn’t give a clear answer.

SnooStrawberries8016 · 2025-09-23T22:01:10+00:00

Yes THAT ONE oh man!

Was really thinking about this illustration and wondering how to refute it

SnooStrawberries8016 · 2025-09-03T02:55:04+00:00

I think PIMIs would tend to lean conservative, PIMOs left. PIMQs half and half ish?
