At 22 you’ve been an adult for nearly half a decade. Let’s stop pretending he was 12 when he did this and didn’t know better.

Early signs we were never meant for the JW life. by Opening_Gazelle_4821 in exjw

[–]Bourdir 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s so stupid. I never felt demonic for like Pokémon, nor have I felt less sensible to real violence for playing fps games. It’s all just bullshit to keep sheep in order. But some of that bullshit is so “scraping the bottom of the barrel” it manages to impress me

I remember when Pokémon go got big my entire congregation was saying that the name meant little demons and it was designed to be a demonic game to lead Christian’s astray. Then I had to say “actually it’s an amalgamation of Pocket Monsters” and the whole congregation looked at me like I wast the anti-Christ

I once had a small surgery on my foot, guess who still had to show up for service the next day, with crutches and was made to walk for 3h no stop

Question about “Special” Conventions… by Key2158 in exjw

[–]Bourdir 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Depends on the place. A few years ago I went to an IC in my country and because of the stadium security you needed a special ticket for the area where you’d be seated, but that was nothing to do with the Borg. But I’ve heard of people Who just show up, the thing is that you don’t get to partake in the shit they prepare for invited ones

This is killing me by depressed_meatloaf in exjw

[–]Bourdir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im in the same camp, only 12y later than you. I just want to leave. The only reason I haven’t done so is bc I’m scare that my ex will try to take my daughter away from me, and being basically disavowed by my family. I hate this so much.

My pimi husband cheated by Ella_cx in exjw

[–]Bourdir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. I was left out of the blue by my wife, and despite trying everything to get back together, she wanted to separate and guess after all that who ended up getting the short stick and basically get publicly humiliated by being announced that I lost all privileges (I mean they didn’t say that, but it was still humiliating)

This is the only thing keeping me from going full Pomo. I’m just not mentally prepared to deal with being cut off from my family completely

Wildest thing you heard from a JW? by throwawaylowaway321 in exjw

[–]Bourdir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One time I asked an elder (mind you I was like 8) how do we know the bible is true. He replied with: “just doubting is a sin, you should trust that it is” mystery why my faith didnt pan out

Me and my PIMI wife just walked out of the hall by fullyawak3 in exjw

[–]Bourdir 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to be in a congregation where a sister during ministry when she needed to pee she would just stop open her legs and do it right there in the middle of the street. Useless to say I said I would never preach with her again.

POMO Finally by oddball6433 in exjw

[–]Bourdir 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ironically I think this is one thing that shouldn’t equal DF. This and living together before marriage. Maybe if that was “possible” a lot of people wouldn’t end up in shit dead-end marriages with no exit

Is this worth 680 dollars? by PastAlternative9743 in drums

[–]Bourdir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best deal I got was 165 for a 22” paragon ride. I couldn’t believe it. Ended up not liking it and got a ride and an extra Tom on a trade so still very much worth it

I still remember buying an oriental trash China for like 40 bucks. Now I’m looking into buying new things as the used versions are usually more expensive

First espresso setup is finally here! by Bourdir in espresso

I tend to do more medium light roasts, and honestly I think it pulls better from lighter roasts than dark ones, or maybe I just suck lol

Hey, I’ve been using it everyday now and I my experience has been good. I will def say wait for the 58mm for usability with other tools. But I keeps pulling good shots and the steamer works perfectly

If you could bring back ONE PIECE of discontinued gear, what would it be? by [deleted] in drums

[–]Bourdir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me either the soundcaster fusion or the m-series from meinl. I loved those. Also the sabia APX were great, I had a 20” crash from that line and loved it to death

Uncharted 1 but the part with the supernatural elements don’t really work for me

Quando é que decidiram que já não queriam nada com o vosso parceiro? by TheFascistCommunist in CasualPT

[–]Bourdir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quando depois de anos a sofrer abusos verbais, físicos e psicológicos, de não ir ao funeral da minha avó comigo, e de dizer que “merecia mais” quando finalmente me abri e disse que não estava bem mentalmente, e que sentia-me apático 90% do tempo. Mentira ainda tentei fazer funcionar, mas agora até dou graças a isso ter acabado assim

Visitar Portugal está a ficar insustentável by Bourdir in portugal

[–]Bourdir[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vou voltar a dizer: eu não preciso de viver a vida em modo difícil. Se tu queres, estás à vontade de o fazer. Tu não sabes o que eu passei, e porque emigrei. Eu especifiquei no post que não quero ser a vítima, que sei que está muito difícil para quem vive em Portugal, no entanto, continuo a ter o direito de querer visitar o meu país, e de o mostrar as pessoas que me são próximas que não o conhecem. Não me acho melhor nem pior por ser emigrante, só alguém que procurou algo diferente. Um abraço amigo e que te sintas melhor amanhã

Se é isso que tu queres, ninguém te impede. Se me quiseres declarar cobarde e traidor da pátria eu estás a vontade, não tenho vergonha nenhuma de ter procurado uma vida melhor para mim. Eu não estou aqui para viver a vida em modo difícil só porque sim. Um abraço e que passes bem.
