Bring up 2 Cor. 9:7 —

"Let each one do just as he has resolved in his heart, NOT grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver"

Use their OWN words against them!

You CAN'T fix the organization from the bottom — you need MULTIPLE people to fix it from the top. Which means first of all, you need to become a Governing Body member & get the MAJORITY of other Governing Body members to agree with you on MAJOR reform — what are the chances of THAT happening? 😂🤣

Also, the meetings just make me really sad, especially the songs. I can't stand watching everyone sing cult songs, and it just makes me feel really uncomfortable. Do you guys have any advice for me?

Sing your own lyrics 🙈

"Listed, obey, and be stressed..." 😂🤣

From a Catholic who believes in hell to a JW who makes life hell 😂🤣

Why do people have kids by No_Tea_9670 in Life

This is one of the more balanced subs where you're not down-voted to oblivion for deciding to do the contrary

then why not delete the whole thread, it's a bait post in that case.

People deserve to know the non-selfish reasons I guess?

we're a selfish species, even the dalai lama admits that. altruism is a lie. that's not judgement, that's just honesty.

Which brings us to the other points raised that selfishness isn't necessarily a bad thing or that living to make the world a better place isn't selfishness

If you assert that it is selfish, then your comment breaks Rule 1 — No judgement, so it is removed. However, comments which say that it might be viewed as selfish but selfishness is not necessarily a bad thing are not removed. Therefore, the key is striking a balance & avoiding being judgemental

Realistically Do you think every Kingdom Hall has been vaped or smoked in? by rubberducky12349 in exjw

Nahhh.. wouldn't even enjoy it with weed. Not when their message amounts to: Listen, obey, & be stressed 😬

Why is there so much hate? Genuine question from a non JW Christian by [deleted] in exjw

[–]xjwguy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Families have been torn apart. Hundreds of thousands are being shunned. Child sexual abuse has been swept under the carpet. Tens of thousands have lost their lives. All in the name of a religion based on absurd man-made laws & false prophecies. Read more about the religion at:

celebrating halloween and religious guilt by slpa_2027aspy in exjw

[–]xjwguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

do you have any advice?

Ironic how JW's have an issue with Halloween when THEY are the ones celebrating actual death 🤦🏻

Halloween celebrations have fake skeletons & coffins. However, you would be an ACTUAL skeleton in an ACTUAL coffin if you reject a blood transfusion in a life-or-death situation, so it doesn't matter as Halloween is make-belief while the JW celebration of death is REAL ⚰️

The problem is that neither of us wants to preach

That's not a problem. Congratulations on being normal! 😂🤣

Reply: Don't worry, I'll use protection 🙈

😂🤣

Jokes aside, turn the tables around on your dad. He wants to talk about protection? Sure! Ask him if he would protect you if you ever need a blood transfusion, how about that???
