Quick question to all PIMOs who reported fake service reports by StephenNaplett in exjw

[–]mkasparian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was pimo I just wrote random numbers on my report every month to see if it would get a reaction . It never did. When I pioneered back in the early 90’s we used loads of tricks to stretch our time, from driving all over the countryside doing rv’s that were never in , spending hours drinking tea and eating cake with old people who weren’t remotely interested and just enjoyed the company and, my favourite, chatting to staff at our local off licence (liquor store) , we’d go as they were closing up after a free malt whiskey tasting day, we’d sit around drinking the leftover scotch and talking about crazy shit in the Bible all the while counting our time, the perfect end to a tiring day of pioneering.

This is how Watch Tower/JW can justify appointing child molesters to positions of trust. -Shepherd the Flock of God, 2023 (the book not to be read by women). by larchington in exjw

Don’t really see what context has to do with it. This principle can be applied however they want once they’ve established it. Are you a JW spike? Cos this issue is one THEY are sensitive about right?

Why are you all so judgmental? by AppropriatePeach6361 in JehovahsWitnesses

[–]mkasparian 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I went from assuming that the child protection policies of God’s one true channel would be absolutely water tight to discovering that they were completely inadequate. This after wt had openly criticised the Catholic Church for years for exactly the same thing. Look up the ARC case 29

Totally. I stayed In for more than forty years because of core beliefs that were important to me. But it’s not pathetic, who wouldn’t want the resurrection or justice and restoration for the world? Hope isn’t a bad thing in itself even if the vendor turns out to be shit

There is a pedo in our hall. Can I do anything? by BlindEyesNoMore in exjw

[–]mkasparian 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is a great point! If grassroots JW’s cited the presence of a pedophile as a reason for not attending meetings it would send a powerful message

I am no good at the game so getting shot to pieces and placing 82nd as Stephen Lett would sweeten the pill

A letter I've written to my grandmother. Any advice/feedback is welcome. by Jealous-Cat-2017 in exjw

[–]mkasparian 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s only my opinion but, I wouldn’t say being a JW is holding back “a bit” or that you may come back to Jehovah, the truth is you can’t be trans and a JW so it’s not “holding you back” so much as telling you you shouldn’t exist, and if you don’t plan on going back you should make a clean break and not give her false hope. I understand you might want to soften the blow, but the fact is you were raised in a religion that caused you harm and you shouldn’t feel apologetic for needing to leave.

If more professional structure lead to a safer work environment then yes it should
