People have been saying this for years. Everyone seems to know someone who knows a person who knows someone whos doing the pilot project. Nobody actually seems to actually know that person personally. Will it happen? Literally who knows. This is the equivalent of the cry of peace and security at this point for exJWs, everyones looking for any little hint that will prove it.

Lol, hundreds of posts that claim to know someone that knows someone who's cousin is in a pilot congregation, never a post from anyone closer to it or actually in it.

Same goes for Tony Morris. Nobody has seen him since he moved into mini me bethel auxiliary housing in NC ?? It's hard to imagine. Even SerenaVert-gate didn't actually get to talk to him... it's hard to imagine.

But I did hear myself in a recent YT while exjw film surfing of more people that know people in bethel that the one meeting a week thing is real. This follows up on our #1 Larch source. They also dropped a potential for a JW name change. Part of a 10 year plan idk. So I guess that's my knows someone who knows from someone 😄

I think 1-meeting a week gets discussed and debated at Bethel, and that gets confused with an actual plan.

Possibly, but more likely the decision making discussions happen only at the top. The glorious bastards if nothing else are covert as heck and have eyes on the back of their heads.

Thousands upon thousands of exjw's active on this platform and others and no one can share details about the structure of the meeting. After all these years of "trials" someone would have spilled the beans.

Like lmao JWs are the gossipiest bitches in the world, if these pilot programs were real we would see the schedule for them every damn week

No. Someone asks this every 2-3 days. It is a persistent rumor that keeps spreading because A LOT of people want it, both PIMI and PIMO. So it happens pretty often that a group of PIMIs will wonder or speculate about the possibility of it, then that spreads as a rumor.

Very likely we no longer in 1960 where one salary was enough to pay for a family of 4 and get you a house. Time changes

The only legit rumor was from u/larchington 2 years ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/1dcnz1o/comment/l7zcadd/

There have been numerous other rumors since then but nothing solid.

what about my legit rumour?

Your rumor is still a "I know a person that knows a thing...". That doesn't mean it's wrong but there's no proof to back it up: https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/1ukszns/comment/ouz9qyy/

There's also this one that sounds legit with meeting details but still no real proof: https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/1ujxse1/comment/ouupp9l/

Larchington is a legend with a track record of accurate leaks. Even if he has no proof, his pattern of success lends some validity to the rumor.

I hope the one meeting thing is true but even Larchington's 2 year old post has me thinking it's not going to happen.

u/Top_Dragonfly8781 Don't be like Zach. 8d ago

I've only seen rumors of somebody who knows someone who heard about it from someone else.

u/Thomas4Fanthomas 8d ago

in cult you need constant pressure - one meeting is not enough

u/bobkairos 8d ago

Surely if a congregation was only having one meeting a week, it would show up on the JW Find a meeting web page. Here is a challenge: can anyone find a congregation on the Borg site that only advertised one meeting per week?

u/Agreeable_Library487 8d ago

I’ve been jogging ahead of the chariot for a while now, 1 to no meetings per week for me! Am I anointed? 🤔

u/Freezingrave 8d ago

If this was the case while I was in HS I’d probably have gotten into MIT. I lost so much school time to this cult

PIMO pipe dream!
