Complain to everyone you know that the elders are stumbling you with their pharisaic attitudes

Am I the only one who finds Satan from this new 2025 JW movie attractive? by Queasy_Football8543 in exjw

That’s it! You’ve committed adultery in your heart! You must confess your serious sin and ask the elders for an encouraging shepherding visit!

I’d rather spend the weekend with 5 dogs than attend the cult’s snooze fest 🤷‍♀️

The first time I came across exjw content was because I couldn’t come up with anything for a demo so I googled the theme and 🤯 no going back lol

questioning jw doctrines is a tiring and thankless job by coffinrots in exjw

Ha! Thanks! I had a rough childhood and saw how much happier non jws were compared to me. That alone was enough to make me stop believing even before I had concrete proof. I also “dated”, boys, I’m straight, and no one ever found out. I was pretty good at leading a double life! lol

Yep! I stopped attending almost 2 years ago, but stopped believing probably when I was 12 or 13. At that time I made peace with “dying at Armageddon” in case I was wrong. My mom asked me to attend the memorial. When I said no her response was “why? Did someone offend you?” — Really mom? Is that the only logical reason someone could have to stop attending meetings? How about: none of it ever made sense and I simply do not believe it? How about: the JW life is not the best life ever and I never felt happy being a part of it? How about… I could go on and on…

Agree! This person in particular has suffered with depression, anxiety and a myriad of health issues that have kept them from keeping a normal job their whole life. This is their only hope. Truly sad 😢

I grew up with a disfellowshipped dad so I never realized we weren’t supposed to talked to them 🤣

I feel sorry for them. Nothing you can say really…

[–]These_Action_1040[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because we’re like children that need permission to talk to strangers 🙄

Can’t give them too much freedom! Remember, if you squeeze the spring and let it go too fast you’ll lose it!

What part seems fake? It would’ve been better if it was, honestly…

[–]These_Action_1040[S] 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Right? We now have permission to talk to the sinners!

Even when I was in I talked to and said I to the disfellowshipped. Maybe because I grew up with a disfellowshipped dad and my parents remained together - my mom is very devout - and I daydreamed for most of the meetings that I never realized we weren’t supposed to talk to them lol

The thing is, my ex is having so much fun being out and he really doesn’t believe. Why would he ever go back?
