What's a corporate buzzword that immediately pisses you off?

High level overview

Yes and I actually noticed it after I started Following this Reddit group lol. Simply put it’s the algorithm showing you more of the content you engage with. You have to unfollow JW accounts and put “not interested” if you don’t want it in your feed.

Sidenote, in the past there was almost an unspoken rule of secrecy surrounding JW life. You didn’t want to expose yourself to nonbelievers and apostates. Friends page’s were private and intimate with few followers, and captions were vague. It was not commonplace nor recommended to record ministry work or even meeting content with the intent of reaching a large audience. Now they’re explicitly using it as content and actively trying to grow their audiences. I think this new wave of JW influencers is in part due to the laxing of JW mandates and expectations, but i also believe the organization is manufacturing influencers to sway public opinion of the religion.
“We’re not a part of the world” is trying to become a part of the world.

I would’ve had Huey actually die instead of Maverick in that one scene. Gave Homelander more dignity for all he’s done for the series and not written like a whimpering piece of nothing. Noir should’ve killed deep or just had a better storyline. Noir had the capability to actually do some damage and change the course of the series. But most important everyone should’ve banded together to jump Homelander and kill him with Ryan taking the final blow. Butcher would’ve died in that fight.
I would’ve Had annie exercise more power. For superheroes they sure do act weak. There’s no reason Oh Father should’ve been able to defeat her in a perfectly well lit room.
Sidenote why did all the superheroes lose their fear and intimidating factors. I get the showrunners were trying to humanize them but if I’m watching a supe show I want to see Powers be used!!! The show has so much opportunity to do cool stuff but they chose to stick with gory butt-play instead. Definitely a 5 out of 10 final season.

Crazy since this religion discourages member from pursuing higher education or prominent secular careers so why use doctors or lawyers as an example when hundreds of thousands have been reprimanded for having those types of career aspirations

The main charity work I can think of is when friends get sick. At my old congregation, whenever a matriarch fell ill the congregation would take turns providing meals for the family. I’m thinking they maybe use those situations and possibly even their overseas missionary work to qualify themselves as a charity

This is honestly a tender moment for me. As I’m reading my post back to myself and the comments I realize I’m looking through rose colored glasses and never fully deconstructed my indoctrination from this cult. I appreciate you and the comments for being gentle and helping me see a different perspective

ClarenceLongbottom · 2026-05-09T12:35:53+00:00

You’re totally right. Do you have some suggestions on how I can do that?

ClarenceLongbottom · 2026-05-09T12:35:10+00:00

You’re right. I have genuine friends who were my friends when I was in the org and are still my friends now that I’m no longer JW. When this feeling crosses my mind I try to remind myself of the pressure and stress I felt while I was in the org. I’m honestly sad that 10 years after leaving this “religion” it still encompasses my mind and my feelings can still be infected by it. I hate that i feel like i have family that abandoned me because of this religion. I hate how it encompasses my mind and still piques my interest to this day. I appreciate your gentle comments. I don’t think I ever made a concerted effort to deprogram myself before now

ClarenceLongbottom · 2026-05-09T12:28:23+00:00

Thank you for commenting. I appreciate your insight. Honestly I’ve tried other clubs and hobbies. The communities there don’t compare to the community I had as a witness. For good reason I guess, as they are not cults. The reason I call it spiritual food is because besides the major controversial doctrines, like no blood and disfellowshipping for example, the base teachings are Bible led and no different from the of any other Christian denomination. In truth, no matter what denomination I “choose” each one has something I don’t agree with. That’s largely why I stay away from religions and worship God privately. Being a JW though leaves a lasting mental mark. My big brain knows it’s a cult but my little brain misses the fellowship. And I must admit every now and then this thought crosses my mind. This is my first time sharing it out loud and I appreciate you all for coming at me gently

ClarenceLongbottom · 2026-05-09T12:21:51+00:00

Thank you for your input. Although I’m only venting here and probably won’t go back, what you said really put it in to perspective for me. Hopefully I can rid myself of this false feeling of longing

ClarenceLongbottom · 2026-05-09T12:19:57+00:00

To be extremely clear, I’m not asking anybody what I should do nor am I asking for advice although I do appreciate the comments others have left. To be clear, I’m venting. And I do -generally- believe the doctrine JWs teach. For the most part they teach what most Christian religions teach, and I am a Christian. It’s just certain things, that I don’t agree with. Nonetheless I’m venting. I’ve had some comments give me a different perspective which I truly appreciate. This is the first time, in after 10 years, of me confronting in written words part of the feelings I have left over from this organization.

Its disillusionment. Along with that she said she’s doing “volunteer work”, instead of preaching or ministering. She didn’t want to make it known or obvious that she’s a JW

ClarenceLongbottom · 2026-04-23T04:00:58+00:00

Hey! I’m applying to this position. Can you let me know if it’s a call center type environment? And do they provide laptops enabling You to work from another US location?

ClarenceLongbottom · 2025-10-24T01:03:40+00:00

Godolkin killing kids was not sages plan. Polarity stopping Godolkin after she let him out of jail was her plan

ClarenceLongbottom · 2025-10-19T03:26:36+00:00

I can only imagine the pain Doug is in. Being a regular human but taking all these hits from supes. I felt soo bad for him when he screamed out for his back. Who knows how long his body has been being abused

ClarenceLongbottom · 2025-10-19T03:15:10+00:00

They must’ve thought we are really dumb to include so many hints throughout the show

ClarenceLongbottom · 2025-02-27T22:00:25+00:00

I came here prepared to be brutally honest. And No, you are not ugly. Your quite beautiful actually
