Discussing the post about pets not being resurrected (😢), and not sure how I didn’t realize this earlier bc it seems obvious- but I just made the connection between Jehovah forbidding Adam and Eve from eating from the tree of knowledge (of good and bad) (and what a set up for failure - and definitely not success - that was, gee thanks🤷‍♀️)…

…and the GB forbidding JWs from going on the internet - to gain knowledge (and thereby, with a few tapsy taps on their keyboard going to non JW dot con websites) and finding out that what the GB claims to be true and good is actually false and bad.

Quite bad. And rotten.

(Or is is the tree of knowledge between good and evil? That actually makes the point clearer…)

Like, the spiritual food the GB is doling out is actually bad fruit.

And I don’t know the scripture (someone, please chime in here, thanks…) but the one that says:

“And you will know them by the fruits of their labor”

The massive CSA travesty, the coverups, the secret hush money payouts while directing local elders to ramp up donation income from JWs who aren’t allowed to know about the CSA lawsuits and multimillion dollar out of court payouts…

The now-obvious unscriptural blood doctrine and countless unnecessary deaths and suffering. And then zero follow up after Gerrit Loesch’s TV announcement at the end of the program, presented without fanfare or any indication how incriminating and damaging their meddling in medical decisions was and remains to be.

The broken families and emotional trauma resulting from their shunning policy, infamously lied about to a supreme court in Norway so they could get their millions of dollars from Satan’s Wicked System and worldly governments.

The inaccurate translation of their Bible and the pryramidology and other suspect practices of the org’s early leaders.

Etcetera etcetera…

🤔🧐

I’m not sure if this has been mentioned before, perhaps it’s just too obvious, but I had the thought and since in here we’re free to discuss things, I’m bringing it up🤗

Hi, I was doing some handwashing outside using some eco-friendly laundry soap sheets. Of course, I left them outside and didn’t know it was going to rain a little and the sheets are stuck together and to the inside the cardstock package.

I know I can rip it off the packaging and cut or rip this now single thick laundry soap sheet - but I was thinking maybe I could just put the entire coagulated soap sheet thingy in water and store it in an eco-friendly brand laundry soap bottle I like the label of.

Now, I understand the fact that I don’t know exactly how many sheets have merged together to become this one thick sheet, and therefore not sure how much water to have it reconstituted/suspended within… but I think I can kinda eyeball it and the soap is pretty weak anyway so I just got some arm and hammer super washing soda to help it work.

I looked this up and the first results said that because the sheets don’t have any antibacterial or other preservatives, transforming it into a liquid detergent could make the thing go moldy or what not.

I’m a big fan of essential oils and DIY home hacks, so I’m fine with adding tea tree oil or apple cider vinegar or alcohol or something to the bottle.

If I just make a small bottle of the stuff that I’ll use within a couple weeks or a month, should I even worry about mold and bacteria or whatever?

Has anybody done anything like this and can offer some advice?

These laundry sheets have gotten damp or moist in the past and kind of stick together anyway, which makes me think of the mold and bacteria issue just leaving the things “dry” (ideally) in their paper packaging.

I guess right now I’m gonna go look and see what preserving ingredients eco-friendly liquid laundry detergents include, if that’s even mentioned on the label, but just putting this out there in case anybody feels like chiming in. Thank you!

Not sure if this is the appropriate place to ask, but I’m giving it a shot, regardless. My uninformed guess was “compound adjective,” but doubt that’s correct.

…only to watch her read/act out the script the GB wrote for the character to behavior model for JWs - PARTICULARLY THE SISTERS- self-negation, shame, and to obediently accept isolation, suffering alone and in silence her feelings of fear, desperation, and depression - as doing so would make Jehovah very angry and possibly not judge her in a kind light in the very soon to occur Armageddon. It would bring too much attention to herself and that would be very very bad and disobedient of her.

All modeled with the weak, depressed, beaten down, near-lifeless, kicked in the gut vocal tonality the GB also wants JW sisters who need support to emulate after watching this behavior modeling / indoctrination video.

That segment was written by men.

BY MEN WHO HATE WOMEN.

By men who had this idea for a convention video, and made all the script and casting choices and not one person on the set of those demonic video tapings spoke up and said THIS IS EVIL TO SHAME A WOMAN UNDERGOING CANCER TREATMENT FOR WANTING SUPPORT and to further model that Jehovah would hate her for taking a selfie together with her uplifting friend.

And now those evil men are FLAT OUT LYING AND OMITTING FACTS FROM THEIR TIKTOK REELS!!! To impress upon worldly journalists and GOVERNMENTS OF SATAN’s WICKED SYSTEM that they win lawsuits that are brought against them (by lying and omitting facts) and that they didn’t in fact forbid college education and that actually, JWs are your doctors and lawyers. As if!

The cruelty, the misogyny, the deception, the hypocrisy, the mandated misery, the eradication of JW’s individuality and critical thinking ability, the sheer EVIL OF THE GB - all done in Jehovah’s name and for the POWER AND FINANCIAL WEALTH they’ve got out of this sham…

The only reason I can think of as to why JWs don’t leave is because of the all-encompassing, “flood the zone” tactics and mutual policing among the members and all of it…The calculated slow pacing of frogs being brought to a boil in pot so it goes unnoticed until it’s too late…

And like the fish who can’t understand what “water” is because it’s the very substance, substrate or matrix that it’s life is lived in - JWs can’t see the reality of the prison they’re in.

😢😡😢

TLDR: Is there any way to make sense of this blatant greed and cowardice and…I don’t even know what words to use but the GB demanding and hoarding the local KH’s donations while throwing legal liability off themselves and onto those local branches/KHs and COs and elders is just…unbiblical. Unscriptural. Pharisaical. Unbelievable (almost.) Cruel. Calculating…what else?
…..

Aside from being lividly enraged by the Jonestown massacre-esque priming JW’s unquestioning obedience to future instructions that seem “strange, impractical, and illogical” - effectively demanding they shut off their God-given gut/God instinct and critical thinking abilities to the point of seeming suicidal…

So, I had this observation, thanks to insightful and informative discussions here today while recalling that the GB did some legal maneuvering to remove themselves and the corporation from all legal liability and moving it to the local branches or individual Kingdom Halls.

And correct me if I’m wrong, but I think I’ve heard the following in the barrage of recent NuLite drops, leaked insider info, updates and news reports that JWs are forbidden to know about, since the GB has been very successful in dismantling their individual critical thinking skills and demanding of obedience via threats of shunning, public humiliation from the podium announcements, and by systematically equating questioning the GB’s policies - or wanting to simply take a break from the incessant schedule and obligations - to “disappointing or leaving Jehovah”.

Ok.

From what I recall, this offloading of legal liability coincided with the myriad CSA lawsuits against them - especially since every day, more CSA survivors are becoming empowered to finally speak up, thanks to spaces like this one and the ever-increasing number of firsthand accounts of ex JW’s experiences on YouTube videos and other activist channels and communities.

That would make sense, as the org has approximately $10 BILLION IN ASSETS TO PROTECT, from what I’ve read.

Note that they protect $10 billion in assets, and pdfiles, but THEY DON’T PROTECT the most vulnerable and innocent among Jehovah’s creation - CHILDREN 😔😢

So, when I recalled that they tossed any and all legal liability to the local branches around the world - and I’d assume that means COs and elders…

I read another post’s comment discussion about how individual Kingdom Halls no longer keep any money that was donated to them by their local JWs, and is instead sent up to the GB at HQ in Warwick/Tuxedo Park - aside from a meager amount and all according to some convoluted formula. I recognized the connection and was rather aghast.

The GB shirked legal responsibility for all the lawsuits they’ve been served…

while also changing the financial structure so that no money stays local and instead now goes towards the undefined, nebulous “worldwide work” - which seems to mean whatever the GB needs money for.

Is that to preemptively fill their coffers with $100 million to cover the CSA lawsuit - that they’re going to lose - from the young Brazilian woman who refused the hush money the GB offered?

Is it for more video soundstages to purchase and make more slick Hollywood industry-emulating miniseries with even more expensive editing and color grading software?

Is it for more real estate destinations around the world - like the recent portfolio addition of the Danish resort - and adding gyms, salons, alteration rooms, pickleball courts, etc. so they can enjoy those amenities as they do their rounds flying all over the globe using all the frequent flyer and dining miles obedient JWs donated via their online subscription donation payment portal?

Or is it to offload legal repercussions for the ramifications of their upcoming unspecified “strange, illogical, impractical” demands and directions that were equated to Moses’ inspired-directly-by-Jehovah (after proving himself thusly by performing miracles) seemingly suicidal directions. (I’m not clear on the specifics but a great comment on that post made this clear and it proved the unfounded insanity of the claim made by the Bethel speaker in that video talk from last week…)

Ok. Sorry for the run on sentences/paragraphs and yay I finally learned how to embolden text but I’m tired and angry.

Extremely angry. For our PIMI family who aren’t allowed to know anything about the org or use their brains or access their God-given gut instinct

But if I’m right about this, I don’t even know what to say or think. It’s just so evil.

They really are just a money making /lawsuit-dodging machine. A real estate flipping, stock market investing corporation dressed up like a religious org - with the convenient un-taxed status that gives ‘em.

This is a so called religious org claiming to have “The Truth” but deceives millions, destroys millions of families, and killed countless people - especially innocent children - with their unscriptural blood doctrine. Their renowned international CSA coverup and the payouts in the 100s of millions of dollars is a singularly abhorrent travesty as it was - and still is!!!! - all done in Jehovah’s name.

Is there any way to make sense of this blatant greed and cowardice and …I don’t even know what words to use but the GB demanding and hoarding the local KH’s donations while throwing legal liability off themselves and onto those local branches/KHs and COs and elders is just pfft. Unbelievable (almost.)

If I’m wrong about any of this, I’m not going to delete this post, but leave it as informational. Thanks frens. It’s tough being awake with PIMI fam but hopefully recent absurdities will get JWs chatting amongst themselves and listening to their gut sense /God sense and getting them out of that prison 🙏🫡💕

Edit / Adjustment / NuLite™️:💡💫💨

Hey frens, a few commenters have indicated there’s no $500 pay to play donation fee for the ICs. (I haven’t fact checked this but I’m trying to be transparent here. Unlike the Borg.)

Well, knowing this, I am not embarrassed about adjustments that are made.

Uh. Nor do is an apology needed for not getting it exactly right.

😂
Actually, I’m not a whiny, sniveling, gaslighting, narcissistic cult leader so I actually DO apologize for not getting it right. And this post hasn’t even been up for 24 hours and doesn’t demand ppl to deny themselves or their children lifesaving medical treatment or continue to perpetuate a massive international CSA cover up and related pdfile protection scheme🤷‍♀️
…

Original post:

I’ve heard and seen the term relating to special “ones” who get to attend the international conventions, but not wholly sure what it’s all about.

Are they JWs of exemplary “spiritual” standing (the ones who give up most of their time /life/ money) for the org?

Are elders and COs directed to “keep their eyes” on the lookout for the most obedient JWs who put in the most hours?

Are they all from differing “lands” who applied and got chosen and then had to fork out $500 plus personal expenses including airfare, hotel, transportation, meals etc? Or is any of that covered by the $500 they pay?

(This right here makes me realize how much administrative bureaucratic organizational bullshit goes on at the direction of the GB. Think of all the moving parts and itineraries and securing venues and hotels and transportation and food and the cultural performance show pony stuff that has to get orchestrated for these things.

And then consider how much of that exists within the entirety of the org. And when you pair that with all the CSA lawsuits that probably come in on a weekly basis, and then scrambling on how to get money to attempt to pay off the victims, it’s no wonder they’re making huge changes to the blood doctrine, but not making changes to the cards at the congregational level. And other stuff like that. But I digress…)

I’m thinking the governing body or their “events committee” picks out the hotel/lodging because control, but still not sure that that $500 pay to play fee would cover that.

Oh! Maybe the GB uses all the donated hotel, airfare and dining miles from their convenient payment portal subscription page. That’s literally one of the many ways they inform you that you can pay them. Pfft.)

I did check out the JWevents website and was disgusted by how the different international convention locations were presented as vacation destinations with photos and copy showcasing the beaches and cultural attractions as if it was a third rate travel agency-designed brochure and presented as a fun, lighthearted travel / vacation experience and not the shiny public facing exterior of a severely depressing, authoritarian, family destroying, women hating, CSA cover upping, pdfile protecting, blood guilty murderous, Jesus-negating (anti-Christ?), stupid miniseries-making, real estate and worldly stock market investing (in the military industrial complex, big pharma, big media that includes soft pron publications, and other evil entities - that it is.

From what I understand all these fabulous international destinations have chosen ones themselves that will show pony for these traveling, delegates and regale them with gifts and meals and song and dance performances.

This just brings to mind the whole classist power hierarchy of the Borg, and giving these outstanding, yet still lowly JWs of a certain standing a VIP experience.

Kind of like they’re showing the millions of nobody rank and file JWs, who’ve been forbidden to go to college and don’t have any money to travel, regardless, and these international conventions are like rubbing their faces in their “I’m not good enough or doing enough for ‘Jehovah’ (the GB)” nobody status.

The org has become this creepy celebrity culture institution- especially with the governing body coming out from behind the curtain and showcasing, their smug, doughy faces and awkwardly and inauthentically gesticulating arms on their main stream news magazine -rip off JW Programming episodes, their Jesusflix miniseries and the special JW actors featured in them, and the biographical write ups on either high ups in the org or international political prisoners they’ve martyred by showing that they’d rather let a lowly JW be imprisoned for years instead of sending someone on their legal team to prevent that horror. Or just let these lowly nobodies practice their own theocratic warfare and deny they’re Jehovah’s Witnesses or simply get rid of their books or what not.

Anyhoo, I searched the search bar thingy and didn’t see that this delegate thing was explained recently and maybe I’m not the only one who would like more info on it.

There’s so much secrecy and lack of transparency and posts like this can help questioning JWs see the org for the convoluted sham that it is, since I don’t think it is common knowledge. But maybe I’m mistaken about that. Regardless if anybody can help, that would be great, thank you🫡🩷

Thanks! The other option is to stay at the 20mg IR but have 3 doses per day. I was never diagnosed with ADD but at age 50, and a lifetime of depression and anxiety and trying every medication, supplement Nd lifestyle change - as a last ditch effort I finally took the adderall I was prescribed a year earlier and It’s saved me from very severe depression. It continues to save me from depression but my executive functioning and ability to get things done is very low. I deal with the ADhD paralysis thing to an extreme degree and just wish this medication worked better.

Jody Jedele’s pallid visage, dull personality and bespoke suit clad upper torso makes a cameo, all mere bit parts as extras - but we all know who the star is (stars are✨⌚️💍🌟✨) in this episode! lol barf.

I was watching ExJWAnalyzer’s video from earlier today and I HAD to slow the thing down, put it in 1080HD res, zoom in and take screen shots because I can’t even with this pharisiacal bullshit.

I worded my intro post the way I did because it is so glaringly obvious that Jody Jedele or someone up at HQ wanted to make absolutely sure all those expensive jewels were not dared to be ignored by the audience.

The Rolex or whatever it is wasn’t tastefully and discreetly under the cuff of the news anchor celebrity’s hand tailored coat, as is usually the case, so this month’s episode lends itself to a less challenging game for us out here to play, “What the nouveau riche wealth display and authority /elite status signaling kind of watch IS he wearing?!?!??”

No sneaky peeky teasing this time, tho. This smug, pallid, and grey goateed real estate whiz turned cult news anchor celebrity was outshined a millions times over (not a difficult task lol) by this flagrant display of these chonks of gold rings and thee finest of name brand timepieces.

(Although, if you know a bit about watches, there are way more exclusive makers that aren’t well known. Maybe not even as expensive because they don’t have an huge advertising budget and models to pay for.

Rolex is the brand everyone knows whether or not you have money, so wearing one ensures that people poorer than you will know you’ve got an expensive watch on - and that shows they have power over you. As well as $20k to throw away on a thing that is ONLY a STATUS AND WEALTH SYMBOL IN THE AGE OF EVEN THE POOREST OF PPL HAVING A PHONE/camera-video and music studio and player, access to every book in every library ever - even theirs teehee, a place you can buy anything, a weather station, a pedometer, a virtual college and everything else. Oh. And a watch. A timepiece. Haha. See, a Rolex or whatever that is only a symbol of how HE CHOSE to spend what…$10k? $20k?

But here’s this new guy, brandishing about - doing the same old awkwardly, iuanthenticly gesticulating hand and entire arm movements - but this time he’s also getting in some cardio and weight training in on the job because of this array of gold baubles he’s doing reps with.

If that’s an emerald, I still gotta find out how much one of those rocks cost at that size - and clarity (look at it when the light catches it - ooh!!)

Also, I may be mistaken, but it looked like he went from one position at the news anchor desk to another, so the studio lights would catch even more sparkles from all his fabulous nouveau riche signifiers.

And then the god damn desk surface - so you see see all the jewels perfectly mirrored!?!?!

I swear to God, this has to be …what? Them TRYING to get ppl to wake up. Like, I can’t even …🤢🤑

I have to finish watching the episode- thanks Jon for your tireless investigative work and research and making videos like these so I don’t have to expose myself to the crap my PIMI fam is subjected to, but can still get an idea of what that consists of. Ughghhhh.

🫡💕

Haven’t seen this asked here yet, so maybe I missed it.

But yeah. The GB apparently wants the JWs of Brazil - the very sisters and brothers of the victim and survivor of this horrific crime - to pay for THEIR (the GB’s) damaging pdfile protections.

Of course, those old smug, doughy faced, (mostly) white misogynist pigs would never pay $100 million of their “own” money to a South American woman when that $100 mil could be used to buy several new resorts and movie studio compounds.

Pfft.

Thoughts?

I haven’t yet seen the new Jesusflix eps but a post here mentioned a scene wherein people are shown to be demonized or possessed. So the org wrote this scene, casted it, and directed/filmed it. What the hell are they doing?!?!

The mere fact that they even make these videos is insane and adding to the word, it’s denying ppl from using their own imagination for what Bible characters and events looked like and force the image in the minds of the producers of these stupid, pointless, shameless TV shows.

Do you realize how much is going on behind the scenes and off screen in a production like this? All the pre and post production that takes all kinds of scheduling and coordination - and it looks like they’re really trying for the Cult Academy Awards for color grading because it seems like that’s the main focus and thing that makes these somewhat “impressive” to someone who’s not questioning the fact that they even make this indoctrination crap.

Aren’t these all basic Bible stories that everyone knows and doesn’t need to see it presented like a Temu Netflix series, with a handsome hunky leading man and whatever else is going on in them?

I really hate that they made these videos and chose a sexy, tall, muscular actor with impeccable manscaping when the Jesus I had always envisioned was nothing like this. It looks so…plastic. Fake. Cheap. Inauthentic. Carelessly made. (All fitting descriptors for a production made by a sham of a religion.)

But one thing that enrages me is that apparently they’ve got “actors” going into character as being possessed by demons.

I admit, I haven’t seen it yet and don’t want to, and maybe this scene is Al. And if so, that’s a whole other travesty to be ranted about.

But if it is actors, what the hell are they doing? We were never allowed to watch horror films or even Michael Jackson’s Thriller video, but the GB produced this and a director directed and instructed the actors to do this? What were the cue words?

Filmmaking (they make videos and are definitely NOT filmmakers) is a serious art. Acting is as well. To make JWs (aren’t all actors in these things JWs?) be committed forever, digitally, on video portraying being inhabited by demonic entities is PURE EVIL of the GB to have come up with!!!

My whole stance on their video making and how much of it there is is that movie making is fun. Being on a set and doing anything is fun.

But that they really didn’t just have the idea of making a scene depicting people being demonically possessed, but they actually wrote it, casted the actors, filmed it, edited it, color graded it - and dropped the episode for all to bear witness to this exegesis “adding to the word” via video interpretation of biblical story insanity?!

I don’t watch horror stuff especially when it has demonized ppl in it because it’s nightmare inducing for me. I can’t imagine portraying that. Are these actors trained at all? Even tho film sets are fun, even just playing a demonized character for a few minutes (though often there are many takes…) could be traumatizing.

I was going to see if I could figure out which of the videos has the scene before posting this, because maybe it is Al and there were no humans – particularly JWs – acting in it.

But I’ll leave this here so anyone who reads it can really question the whole video content direction the org has gone full steam ahead with. And particularly to think about all the preproduction and behind the scenes stuff going on - especially how every actor is being directed and is also committing their image to JW indoctrination content forever by doing so. It’s beyond insane.
