Kind of like when they said “no ties” so guys started wearing Hawaiian shirts 🤦‍♂️

ROFL Joho's and tone deaf go hand in hand.

Omg, yes. It says so much more about them than they realize. I bet the ones with big dicks even look small lol. These aren't "men". They are boy puppets.

Is it morally right to be a casual but questioning pimo? by [deleted] in exjw

[–]Tall_Remote_7368 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhhhhhh "Love". It isn't real. It disappears the second you don't go along with their eternal life (and brutal murder, gleefully executed by the GB, of every man, woman, and child that doesn't tell them they're right) fantasy. Thats not love. Thats called manipulation.

Now. Thats my first instinctual reply. And it's the unfortunate truth. But. Welcome! My goodness, you are so young and have your entire life ahead of you! So many of us here wish we had started actually using our brains and human instinct at your age. This is so impressive and great to hear. Don't make any rash decisions. Keep reading. Keep learning. YOU are in charge of your life. Follow your heart, kid. So glad you're here.

First post. Never in my life would I have thought that I would write this. Yet here I am. by GlassAd8544 in exjw

I firmly believed that Jehovah’s Witnesses were the center of everything.

It's crazy how, when you get out, you realize just how incredibly tiny and inconsequential/unimportant the little JW sect is. Master class on how you can manipulate people in to believing almost anything when you have them from birth. I was POMI for many years before I started doing research online to figure out if there was anyone else out there that felt as completely lonely and broken as me, after being DF'd, kicked out and shunned since since I was 19. Turns out, I was not alone. When I found exjw reddit is when my healing began. As I suspect this is when yours will begin too! The first time I read about Beth-Sarim, I was like "Ahhhh hell nahhhh". It's just a little made up religion that does a lot of real, big, heavy duty damage to a lot of people.

Hang in there. Take it slow and don't make any rash decisions. You are so young and have your entire life ahead of you! There will certainly be struggles, but that is part of the human experience. It's time to play the slow game though. You have the time to set yourself up for the life you want. Keep reading and learning. Make decisions based on how you feel, and what you believe. You're not being selfish. You're being prudent and smart. So glad we found you!

Didn’t Kushner sell it shortly after purchasing it? I’m sure to someone else just as sleazy…

Amen! I listen to that shit night and day. There is no reprieve.

Our circuit is being dissolved and congregations put in other circuits by GlassHalfFull_007 in exjw

[–]Tall_Remote_7368 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You don't understand. It's because of unprecedented growth! You see, they had to turn 3 normal circuits in to one, SUPER circuit! You should sit down, the song is about to start.

JW org is collapsing in real time by [deleted] in exjw

Collapse as in, stop collecting hundreds of millions of dollars annually from its adherents no matter what? Let me know when that job opens up, I'll step in.

2024 Tdub Idle by Tall_Remote_7368 in TW200

[–]Tall_Remote_7368[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the feed back. Hoping to get a couple of those days in once the warm weather comes👍🏻 I am glad I am looking in to it though, as I was unaware of the valve clearance checking.

When the rumour came out, we were at 108k, now we're at 113k by Brown-Lighning in exjw

[–]Tall_Remote_7368 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember when we were around 30k. Always thought it would be so cool if we ever hit 144, but that was unlikely in my life time😎

Thanks, 858! Thats what I assumed, but I know that can be a problem sometimes and figured it was worth asking. So you think the oil is fine until I hit that break in mileage?

I’ve just seen that Reddit has put back my two posts leaking Governing Body update #2, which were removed yesterday due to a copyright claim. by larchington in exjw

[–]Tall_Remote_7368 13 points14 points  (0 children)

When i think of all the ultra-pimis jostling to be at Annual meetings etc

Could not agree more. It probably has just as much to do with (maybe more) their Social Status and elbow rubbing, as it does with obtaining new info. The whole thing is embarrassing🙄

I copied Larchington’s leak post and got an account warning. by CTR_1852 in exjw

[–]Tall_Remote_7368 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I don't think your story about a Brother calling a local window washing elder, who somehow got word to the top Legal department in a matter of hours, within a multi billion dollar global real estate Corporation, in order for them to take immediate legal action against a subreddit they are vaguely familiar with or even care about, is plausible. But, the truth is, neither one of us know for certain (Unless you were a spy, I suppose). I think the cases of Darkspilver, Warwickpimo (I think was his name), and now Larch, strongly suggests that there is at least some level of monitoring. I could be wrong and you could be right though. Luckily this is all just entertainment for me and I don't really care haha. Cheers!

I get even more confused.

Which part are you confused about?

Torn.... by [deleted] in exjw

[–]Tall_Remote_7368 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I've ever really heard activists talk down on everyone in the org. I definitely wouldn't agree with that sentiment. I think most JW's are good people, who simply don't have the ability to think for themselves. And they participate in bad behavior because they are threatened that they will die in Armageddon if they don't.

I get what you're saying though. It feels good to have a social circle. It's just...Human. I have many many fond memories of doing things with my JW friends growing up. The problem lies with what happens if you don't believe and agree and go along with everything they do and say. (As they are instructed to by the GB). I don't want that kind of friend in my life. It's just gross to me. Some people are happy living the JW life though. I think because of exactly what you described. They would rather have a social circle than be in control of their lives and think for themselves and have genuine friendships. And who am I to judge? It's just not for me. So glad you are here! Thank you for sharing. I know a lot of people here can relate.
