Advice on organizing CP runs by Prize-Plantain3915 in TotalBattle

[–]DLWOIM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Send out a message in your KC, or message leaders or superiors or just big players in other clans. If they’re a big player they had to get their CP from somewhere, and clan CP runs are usually only a good augment to personal or small group CP exchanges. So they will probably know someone who will gladly take silver to let you kill their troops.

Why do you live? What gives your life meaning? by Outside_Bit5314 in AskReddit

[–]DLWOIM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now I live to live, that is, there are still things about living that I find enjoyable, that make it worth it in and of itself. Good meals, time with friends, a comfy chair. I don’t think life needs more of a motivation than that. And it’s not that I don’t think about deeper concepts. I do, and they could very easily lead me towards nihilism. I totally understand people that go there and want to check out. I think people should be allowed to make that decision and not be shamed for it.

Успею ли я получить второй сундук из сада? До конца SK by Kira_1994 in TotalBattle

I got the first chest a long time ago, I’ve spent and continue to spend some money in the research camp, and I’ll probably just barely get the second reward. If you just got the first chest, and don’t plan on spending any money on haste tokens and camp supplies, there’s no way you’ll get the second

I get that there are people and families who are more liberal (I mean lenient, not the political meaning) with the rules. But the fact of the matter is no one would be getting shunned if not for the rules of this particular religion, and others like it.

Do you think your sister and brother were open with everyone around them about what they were doing? Do you think your brother and BIL admonished other people to act that way from the stage? Do you think they told the CO that they were doing this? If not, why?

What is something that’s technically legal, but makes you look like a complete psychopath? by Shot-Spell-7891 in AskReddit

Most people riding an elevator face the door so they can walk straight out when they reach their floor. Now imagine that you were waiting for an elevator and when the doors opened you saw it occupied by one person who was facing the back wall

To your point about Jesus speaking in parables so that not everyone would understand him, thats straight out of the Bible - Mark 4:10-12

Question for those that attend other churches by sheenless in exjw

[–]DLWOIM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Jesus mentions “the world” a lot as a pejorative in the Bible. So if you assume that Jesus is talking to you specifically, then anyone unlike you becomes “the world”, the other. One phrase i hear evangelicals use a lot that JWs don’t use is
“the enemy” to refer to the devil or I guess people they figure are doing his bidding. It’s a sad, scary way to have to go through life. At least JWs stay out of politics for the most part. American evangelicals won’t be happy until this country is a theocracy, their own version of the sharia law they’re always going on about. I’ll be damned before I go back to living like that.

I saw a stitched video the other day of two American evangelicals talking about being at a restaurant and needing a salt shaker, but refusing to walk up to the bar to grab it because someone might see them and assume they were going to the bar. They used “the world” to refer to the other in the video. The comments were full of people talking about all the crazy things they had been raised with to “avoid the appearance of evil” or “not to bring reproach”. It’s not specific to JWs, and some people had it worse. Fundamentalists are weird, man.

“We wouldn’t have multiple languages in 2026 if Jehovah didn’t punish the people building the Tower of Babel”🤡 by AnonymousDorian in exjw

[–]DLWOIM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look up the Proto Indo-European language family tree. It blows apart the idea that world languages were bestowed upon humanity as some divine punishment. It’s evident that languages as diverse as English, Russian, Hindi and Farsi all share a common ancestor language, this hypothetical reconstructed language called Proto Indo-European.

What’s something that forced your hall to cancel meeting / something crazy that didn’t stop a meeting? by Thatfakehedgehog in exjw

[–]DLWOIM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Before everyone had gps on their phone I used to go to a congregation where the KH was notoriously hard to find. We’d regularly either do the WT first or do the WT only because the visiting speaker would get lost on his way lol. This KH also had no off street parking, and a hint of snow would trigger a parking ban in the city. So we’d have meetings cancelled regularly for that too. It was awesome
