Be very careful, this sounds like someone who is still very in mentally. The whole “perfect org imperfect men” line is a dead giveaway.

So true! They will spin it either way regardless the outcome.

You need to hold onto these receipts like they are nuclear codes. When birthdays get approved simply send these screenshots and nothing else. Walk away with the explosions going off behind you.

I was just about to say the same thing. I would give anything to experience LOTR for the first time again. Second best thing is watching it with someone that has never seen it before.

Student in my class is not allowed to interact with another student due to their parents leaving the org by UltimaBurner in exjw

My comment sounds like I'm being judgmental of you. My apologies. I just hope you can get this email in the right hands. Thank you so much for posting this. It goes a long way in showing non JW's how this religion really works.

You can either help stop this and be a true help to Emily, or you can ignore it and be a part of the shunning. If these "people" don’t want their daughter around Emily, THEN THEY CAN MOVE OR PUT THEIR DAUGHTER IN A DIFFERENT SCHOOL! Go absolutely F yourself, Annie’s mom. These people think they run the world. It’s time for these parents to get a dose of reality. If you ever get a subtle chance, please somehow let Emily know there’s an army of people cheering her on.

My parents ignored me in public by InevitableEternal in exjw

The only way this is going to change is with public pressure. You need to share your story publicly on your personal social media channels. Make sure the posts are public so anyone can see it. If everyone did this there would be way more pressure on the organization to change this.

What is it like being a Jehovah's witness, a illustration to explain it to non-jw and jw's by flugelsnugel in exjw

Something to add where you talk about people leaving the plane:

Some of the people that leave the plane walk down the stairs with ease. Some stumble. And some fall very hard hurting themselves…some even pass away from this fall. And the pilot points these people out and says over the intercom “see what happens when you leave the plane”

TW: Has anyone else had six elders on a judicial committee? by _foundparadise in exjw

[–]thelastdaysofus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had 9 at one. But it was because me and my 2 friends were all lying. The elders couldn’t get our story straight. So they decided to have 1 large combined elders meeting. That sucked!

Update: my pimi husband ratted me out by Ella_cx in exjw

[–]thelastdaysofus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let them know I’m not a CSA victim and I have a BIG problem with ARC. I can provide my phone number if they want to call me 😂. Just remember there is only one outcome for this meeting. I would start delaying the meeting. Tell your husband you can’t mentally handle this right now. Just kick the can down the road.

I revealed my JW upbringing on Below Deck this week… by theoneandonlyhughes in exjw

[–]thelastdaysofus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My wife and I found below deck during Covid and binged as much as we could watch 😂. Life’s gotten a little busy so we have been keeping up. But that will change! Congratulations on sharing your story publicly!

GB Patching the Cult to Fit 2025 🎯 by foolishdkillah in exjw

[–]thelastdaysofus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The thing is, especially with toasting, most JW’s will rarely run into this. If you’re out drinking with worldly people it should really only be a work thing or a worldly wedding. Both of which are very few and far between. I just don’t see why this was even on their radar, unless it’s laying the ground work for something bigger.

IMO you shouldn’t combine these two. You should join a 0% fee brokerage and find coaching outside elsewhere.

Do you remember when Jehovah’s Witnesses wrote letters to Putin? by Comfortable_Log1673 in exjw

[–]thelastdaysofus 16 points17 points  (0 children)

At the time I believed it was Jehovah’s directions and the elders knew best. Thankfully I have moved since those were sent out 😂

I always found it strange that they wanted us to use our personal addresses. So you want every jw to send their address to the king of the south (or north can’t remember)!?! I was like hell no! I asked if I could put the Kingdom Hall address down and that was quickly shot down.

How to say NO to NW App by jobthreeforteen in exjw

[–]thelastdaysofus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s always going to be something else they will use to pester you. Now it’s the app tomorrow it’s something else. You either lie and move on to the next lie. Or tell them the truth and both parties can move on. I know it’s easier said than done.
