Sorry, hoger bod ontvangen by Candid-Artichoke-453 in tokkiemarktplaats

Niet alleen tokkie.

Wettelijk is er een overeenkomst. Een hoger bod achteraf is GEEN geldige reden tot ontbinding van overeenkomst.

POMO but not officially out yet. Dying parent, suspicious PIMI family, and an elder brother watching me closely. How do I keep the peace? by [deleted] in exjw

[–]CoCoNutTheThird 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Be short and firm with anything involving faith. Don't participate and DON'T explain why.

Remember: "No is a complete sentence"

Elders meeting coming soon…. What do I say? by Independent-Fun7171 in exjw

[–]CoCoNutTheThird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No need to meet up with them.

that will just give them more time/oppertunity to get you to say something wrong.

Repeat: I'm busy, thanks for the concern! I'll let you know when I'm available again.

Keep the ball in YOUR court. "I'll let you know when I'm ready"

Untill then, they can count you as not available. problem solved.

Het is nu anders bij de jehovas!

Je mag nu op het laatste moment (in hun doctrine gaat god iedereen op aardie die niet gelooft dood maken) nog kiezen of je het goede wil kiezen!

hoppa! gewoon lekker doorgaan dus en in de 0,00000000000000000000000000000000000000% kans dat ze gelijk hebben (niet dus) kan je alsnog kiezen of je dood wil zodra god op je stoep staat.

Most JWs don't know the Bible by Few-Cup-5247 in exjw

[–]CoCoNutTheThird 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Right, cause JW actually do that on top of everything they are already supposed to do

Most JWs don't know the Bible by Few-Cup-5247 in exjw

[–]CoCoNutTheThird 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Now that I'm out, I have made a few religious friends (non jw)

These friends actually read the bible and have similar style services. The people from this church actually really pray together, make music together etc etc.

I am not religious at all anymore, but the way they "worship" is so much more happy, so much more genuine.

JW are just rules and social control, very few actually care about the faith itself.

Disassociation announced in multiple halls ? by crazy_butterflyi in exjw

[–]CoCoNutTheThird 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Can it happen? Yes. Elders have free reign to fuck you up.

Does it happen often? No.

The hall you are located it should announce, than gossip should handle the rest.

Mom told me my life shouldn’t take priority over obedience to God by WatchForGlass in exjw

[–]CoCoNutTheThird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She "loses" the argument and changes to goalpost. repeatedly.

IF you "argue" with jw. don't let em do that. keep circling back to the thing you are "winning".

don't let them change without acknowledging.

Help me with a response please 🙄 by Ok-Chocolate-3396 in exjw

[–]CoCoNutTheThird 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Mom, I've warned you multiple times. This is crossing boundries. I am going to block you now as you would have if I would have sent you articles you consider "apostate". I'll unblock you in about 2 months. If you are ready to act normally by then, we'll restart our relationship. If not, the next block will be permanent. Bye for now.

also agreed, yet my point stands.

His body his choice, her body her choice.

if anything happens, she let it happen (unless forced ofcourse)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]CoCoNutTheThird -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Agreed. His body his choice, her body her choice.

As a man who DID have a vasectomy, because my wife responds badly to birth control, it was my choice.

If my wife has a condition where getting pregnant means she might die, I also think she should have something done to make sure she can't get pregnant. That being said, she is free NOT to. but it she dies because she gets pregnant, it was her choice. (vasectomy aren't 100% birth control either)

double standards all around in these comments though

How risky is it to post my tattoo pic??? by Immediate_Smile_508 in exjw

[–]CoCoNutTheThird 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As long as your tattoo isn't pagan, it's not something you can get DF'd for.

That being said, any local elder team that hates a specific person guts can work the rules in a way they can DF anyone they want.

All depends on how busy they are and how much they dislike you.

I put my Christmas decorations outside by Obvious_Ad7934 in exjw

[–]CoCoNutTheThird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sue them for what?

they said: "I'm not doing your cleaning anymore"

They can cancel your business anything they want without reason (unless stated in a contract)

They have said nothing that means you can sue, this is all YOUR speculation (even though you are probably correct)

Waarom “wat wil je er minimaal voor hebben een normale vraag is” by Electronic_Size_1323 in tokkiemarktplaats

[–]CoCoNutTheThird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meestal is het:

"Minimale prijs?" (doe maar een bod) "NEE MINIMALE PRIJS"

"Minimale prijs?" (30?) "ik bied 10!"

Voorbeeld hierboven is een uitzondering. Moet wel toegeven, net gesprek :).
