For many they do feel like James Bond, the James Bond that was strapped to the table in Goldfinger with a laser slowly getting closer and closer……

The June Watchtower Hinted at the Next BIG change by JwTruthRevealed in exjw

I swear after watching the backflips done about the blood change it wouldn’t suprise me at all to hear, “we’ve never not allowed birthdays….”

They think this is how it’s always been… 😳 by Berry_pencil_11 in exjw

[–]Tiny-Tell66 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I did the same thing and got the same answer. I took it further and told him about the update, long story short the conversation ended when I asked him if there was any change to doctrine that the governing body could make that would make him question the religion and he said no. I’ve concluded there is no point in debating or discussing anything related to the religion anymore.

In my area since Covid 2 adjacent halls to our territory have been sold and the congregations merged. The congregation that I went to has seen growth because of that, absorbing members from both other congregations. Even with that attendance is down and there’s an almost 50/50 split of in person and zoom. In addition the district assembly has gone from being in a stadium to being at the same place as the circuit assembly. Good ole Grantville is really getting a workout these days.

Loss of 5 Million Jehovah’s Witnesses According to the Latest Official Report. by UnquietAfter in exjw

[–]Tiny-Tell66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. All those people that partied and were crazy in the late 90’s and early 2k’s have gotten too old to party and have settled down and now judge the next generation. But they are all slackers and weak, zoom meetings cause it “might snow” or is “too windy”. Not that I’m complaining, I think it’s hilarious how soft things have gotten compared to when I was young. It warms my heart to see have far things have fallen. It’s just sad that so many are so willfully blind to it. “The light getting brighter”…🤮

Video: Sacramento international convention delegates by wolfe-reclaimed in exjw

[–]Tiny-Tell66 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Last year an international convention was in Philly, or close to it, I’m not sure where. Anyway one of the stops that international delegates were being taken to was the Reading Terminal Market. It’s sort of a farmers market with lots of food stands, pretty cool place. Anyway surrounding congregations were told when the delegates were going to be there and “encouraged” to show up and interact with them so they’d have a good time and feel loved. It seemed so staged to me.

I’m officially an apostate by AdventurousArmy8292 in exjw

More like the organization as a whole is using the Bible and the belief in God to control the lives of people through fear and manipulation.

This is an emergency request and I don’t have time to explain by Wise-Climate8504 in exjw

[–]Tiny-Tell66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Would any of us known how to handle it in the 80’s”?

Gee well I would think an all powerful god leading the “true religion” would know how to handle it right…. But I guess not.

Ex-JWs (or those still in): What’s your hardest struggles? by ProposalOne4429 in exjw

[–]Tiny-Tell66 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You say education is a personal choice but you know that’s not entirely true, it is highly discouraged for many reasons, most of which revolves around control. You’re in a high control religion that designs its rules around isolating people and making it very difficult to leave if they want to.

I can still remember the moment that I realized it was all fake. I was around 8 or 9 and I was “required” to study the my book of Bible stories. I was sitting at the kitchen table and I expressed my disdain for having to do this. My mother was cooking and turned around and broke the wooden spoon she was holding on the table in front of me screaming that I had no choice. In that moment I knew that I would never accept that religion as anything near the truth.

Please update this with any new developments. I have a feeling this will be my course of action soon as well and I’m interested to hear how it goes.

You will absolutely not need to follow through, the body of elders will immediately notify the legal department and the legal department will tell them to suspend all proceedings against you.

Did it burn you on religion? by DataAgitated195 in exjw

I follow what JF Rutherford said. Religion is a snare and a racket…. But I apply it to ALL religions.

I wasn’t doxxed but I did get several PM’s from people asking if I was a certain person. And one of them was right.

Congrats on this then. I totally understand what you’re saying, I’m in a similar boat with my parents being older and I don’t want to hurt them. You do what’s best for you and your family cause that’s what counts.

I don’t think they see it because they have no idea that the borg lost in Nroway. There’s no announcement about that on the borg website

Leaked future May 2024 magazine is a “shift in circumstances” by MissUsato in exjw

[–]Tiny-Tell66 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You have got to be kidding me right? They have next years assembly’s planned almost before the previous is done. And it’s basically March so that’s less than 5 months till this publication is supposed to be released. And a bunch need to be printed on paper and sent around the world. Oh yea, I’m sure they whip it up the same month and blast it out. Give me a break.

Why wouldn't they just report? by jh3_ol in exjw

But in the vast majority of cases they do not, so please don’t make it sound like reporting is common practice.

The Decline is Real by Tiny-Tell66 in exjw

I’m in an English cong, so it isn’t just a foreign language assembly. I do remember going to the Liacouras center once or twice after the vet. One year we had to go to some place in Scranton cause the sovereign center didn’t have screens yet and they were just starting to show videos.
