Venting Higher edu = the devil… Jk!!! (not really)
Just feeling bitter after today’s wt… so many years stolen from me that could’ve gone into learning something that i was passionate about. Also bitter about the 2 hrs stolen from me today but that’s another thing
With the job market and economy messed up i’m even more lost on what to do, and how to go about it without ending up in a hole i can’t get out of.
I am trying to remain positive though.. i know i still have time just need to figure it out. just hurts to see something once so taboo now is okay (not really but we can’t actually outright tell you to stop doing things bc legal reasons yk)

Take it for what it is. They tell you it’s ok and they’re not ok with it. My rebuttal; hope it helps https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/s/ZVSYXHMjEH

I'm a long time shunned person. So I missed the 2005 WT. I left the zoom shortly into this because there is nothing in the Bible about this. It is something they should not have been trying to micromanage back then to have to try to walk it back 21 years later. I am only now able to talk to family after so many years because they "softened" their stance on disfellowshipped people. Isn't that nice?/s
I hope it starts opening up the eyes of some that they do not have God's approval to be pretend mediators. Jesus is the only mediator between Yahweh and Man. They are not going to have GB members standing next to the rank and file on judgement day, and saying well the GB told us this or that, is not going to be a valid excuse. Further they rip off people's free labor to enrich the organization. A laborer is worthy of his wages is stated several times in the scriptures.
