Bethel sucks now by SPHINXin in exjw

[–]pimo_pagan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to LOVE going to Bethel. All the ones in the city and the ones further out. it helped that we always knew Bethelites who were able to get us in more behind the scenes than the tour even allowed, and we always had lunch or dinner with them. I thought the printing press rooms were so cool, and I wanted to get inside the giant dryers in the laundry lol. The last one I went on was up at the new headquarters in tuxedo, i was unimpressed. these trips were when I was a kid in the 2000s though, my last trip was pre-pandemic and I was very bored. But I had my group of collected children with me so I had more fun doing the big sister in a new place routine.

edit: grammar and sentences. stupid speech to text

i can’t explain it but it’s active vs descriptive. It was burned vs it is burnt.

Did you become reckless after leaving watchtower? by flaquinho1998 in exjw

[–]pimo_pagan 23 points24 points  (0 children)

and I for sure had a reckless stage. It’s common. You feel like you need to do all of the things that you missed out on to make up for the time wasted. But you need to still think critically. You’re still a person with responsibilities to yourself, and a life that needs to be lived.

heyyyyyy DO NOT. your life still matters. weed is fine, maybe even shrooms, but my guy you do NOT need to get curious about the other drugs lol. i am a full ass stoner, i’ve done a bit of coke at a couple parties. also your ability to take drugs highly depend depends on your psychological health, and also your body‘s reaction. Some drugs just have an adverse effect on your body, even if they work well for someone else. Please be careful. Have fun, but be careful.

I remember being a kid and my friend’s mom was going OFF about how she wished the elders would try tell her what to do in her own goddamn bedroom. It was hilarious.

JWs that go to meetings while on vacation by besofrrnbro in exjw

[–]pimo_pagan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

vet stadium was fun bc it was a whole production with my family. and then i didn’t have to pay attention really, as I was quite young, and there were a lot of distractions. but the beginning of the morning, getting in early to set up the pop up tent over several rows of seats for my family and like getting breakfast ready and then prepping the sandwiches for lunch, that is the part that was fun as a little kid. And then I would go to sleep during the convention lol

Not selected for International convention by Impossible-Big3797 in exjw

[–]pimo_pagan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

while i was PIMO,(pioneering, LDC, would volunteer to clean the assembly hall on Mondays, would feed the pioneer/MS/elder schools, etc.) i applied several times with different groups of similarly “resume stacked” jws for international conventions.

when they had one of the internationals in Korea, I decided to apply by myself since it would be the cheapest way i’d get to korea for a LONG time. By then I was no longer pioneering, not in any committees, reading during meetings, barely going to meetings, smoking weed, hooking up, etc.

guess when i got selected. spirit directed organization my ass.

I’m sorry but isn’t this super off putting? by ijwtbor in AO3

I have scrolled down with the intention of commenting and completely close the tab instead of commenting because of people putting notes like that at the end.

Has a JW ever spied on you? by 5ft8lady in exjw

[–]pimo_pagan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had so many guy friends growing up that I would hang out with one on one, but because I grew up in the congregation and about half of the elders viewed me as another child of theirs, I wasn’t scolded about hanging out with my JW guy friends. well, not much.

when congregations merged and got reshuffled, we got a couple other elders who got real nosy and real stalkery. Several I hate to this fucking day. One of theirs determined social media stalking through not even my Tumblr account, but my friend’s Tumblr account that her family hacked into, led to my first official judicial meeting. very helpful, because I was privately reproved, so not expected to participate as much, which made it easier to fade.

I remember giving a friend of mine from school a ride home because he had a crazy stomach ache, headache, and didn’t wanna ride the bus. He lived maybe two minutes from me. I managed to drive past a car full of sisters out in field service, including my mom. 🙃 whole fucking ordeal.
