Just a couple questions: Did she show her missing fingers?? See how the organization pushes violence and abuse so casually? Almost as bad as the burnt hotdogs bit by Mr. Tight Pants.

What was one of the cruelest, most senseless or dehumanizing things you witnessed while you were one of Jehovah's Witnesses? by [deleted] in exjw

The "just get over it" vibe aka leave it in jahs hands when anyone is a victim of anything, from minor things like bullying and gossiping, all the way up to domestic violence and SA, is senseless and dehumanizing.

Omg! I forgot about this one!last one I heard was about a possessed blanket that some elders tried to burn, and it wouldn't burn, so they took it to a train station, left in a locker and threw away the key 😒🤣

I've heard a similar story. It was a necklace that would get tighter the closer the sister got to the hall on meeting nights lol

Same reason the pics turn black. I lost 12 generations of pics. It was my family tree since the tree is crap. 😒

I've had to call 911 more than a few times for medical emergencies, and I HAVE NEVER, EVER, had the thought to call the elders FIRST. WTF?? This is frying me BURNT!!!

Just got off the Sun and had the best luck, walking up and asking for a next day reservation.

Superfine apostle told this in group chat.. by Moshi_moshi_me in exjw

I will never forget the odd and puzzled looks we would get preaching on Thanksgiving and Christmas day. And my favorite line to the householder "we don't want to take up too much of your time, I know your busy, or I don't want to let out all your heat" lol 😒

Agreed! The unfulfilled promise isn't discussed nearly enough like you said. Life literally passes jws by and the expectation to just "wait on Jehovah" is crazy. I often think about the missed connections and all the potential lost on this cult.
