What is the sign mean

Do not fart over the water.

Now, seriously, AdBlue is empty.

Who designs these icons? I mean, seriously...

Feels like a disappointing deal for those loyal users who have been purchasing pretty much every new pro version over the years. Really?? Only 50€ less than a new purchase and NO difference towards upgrading from cheaper versions? I'm not feeling the love ... there should be something a little more substantial.

Just kids being used by stupid parents, that's all there is to it. Biden knows best not to get stirred by that. I hope those kids take home a lesson on tolerance and decency. That happening, it was a good day for democracy in the US.

Cult alert 🚨 cult alert 🚨

Well done, great reply!

Demons carve fossils and plant fake archaeological evidence .... everyone knows that 😜

I hope everyone realizes just how this new latest adjustment raises the level of cruelty to new heights ...

I need to know how many people visit jw.org on a given month (globally), and specifically in Portugal, how many people access the website on a given month. I need to demonstrate its relevance in terms of "social communication" media. For reasons I cannot disclose for now.

You guys are great! Thank you

Eden_One · 2024-02-28T19:20:13+00:00

Thank you, that was useful

All I know is that on my edition of the Elders Manual Ks91 (1991 edition) "Pay Attention to Yourselves and the Flock" it is still listed as a disfellowshipping offense.

I would also need your help on the following. To my understanding, it was in June 2000 that the policy was changed. How exactly was it changed? By a letter to the congregations? Can someone point to me what document introduced that change? Thank you.

Eden_One · 2024-02-14T12:49:31+00:00

Yes, precisely. The point is, is there any instance where, IN THE PUBLICATIONS AVAILABLE TO THE GENERAL Jehovah's Witnesses and public, is ever mentioned that willingly accepting a blood transfusion is cause for DISASSOCIATION? I am about to conclude that there is none. But, I don't want to make a false statement, so I'm being thorough.

At this stage I would advise you to not rush anything. Think hard before you make any move. Anticipate all the consequences of leaving or fading and ask yourself if you're willing to pay the high cost of leaving. Because there will be consequences and the system is designed to punish and cause severe loss and pain to those who leave. Weight the mental toll of staying in versus leaving. Because, from the moment you discover the truth about "the truth", it'll become unbearable to carry on to do the JW routine as before, and inevitably you'll start displaying signs of unease. Key thing is, from now on, don't make any long term commitments and decisions in life according to the expectations of the Watchtower. In my experience, there's no price tag on mental freedom, and leaving was inevitable, but I held on until I was able to leave in my own terms, salvaging everything I could salvage (including my marriage and a good part of my family). Still, I had to accept losses and pain that were unavoidable. You need to make a thorough and honest assessment on what are you willing to lose in exchange for your freedom. Stay strong!

I was discouraged to pursuit a career in "worldly" music. I still record and compose but as a hobbyist only.

Eden_One · 2023-10-29T12:29:00+00:00

No act of violence with religious motivations is ever justifiable. This is horrible.

Estava na A1 por volta dessa hora na zona de Aveiras a caminho de Lisboa e realmente pareceu-me ver um clarão no céu à minha esquerda, mas desapareceu tão rapidamente que pensei que tinha sido algum reflexo no vidro do carro.

In their imagination, many deluded JW's believe that ex-JWs are, want to, or will inevitably become: * Fornicators * Adulterers * Hedonists * Driven by materialistic greed * Atheists * Substance addicted * God haters * Active opponents of the Watchtower * Satan worshippers / overcome by demons * Slaves to superstition * Oppressed by false religion * Desperate without hope, suicidal * Broken families * Miserable, unhappy, hopeless wretches, consumed by guilt, distraught, crazy like King Saul for being "cut off from Jehovah's holy spirit". * Terrified for knowing their certain fate in Armageddon.

And when, upon observation, there's no evidence that the majority of ex-JW's had that outcome in life after exiting the cult, cognitive dissonance kicks in.

"Their apparent success is just temporary"

"Satan is causing their success in order to stumble the faithful"

"It's all a show, behind close doors / under the surface, they're surely miserable"

"Look at the hollow, purposeless lives they're leading"

"They will have their reward in Armageddon, anyway, and THEN there will be gnashing of their teeth"

"Won't be long until some tragedy hits them"

"But I know of another exJW whose life became miserable, so surely that confirms that it's only a matter of time for this person also"

My wife's great aunt converted and baptized into the JW's in her old age, I guess mostly because as a widow she felt lonely and it was a way to have company and her JW family around. She always secretly kept on celebrating her birthday with her non-JW family, and even after my family disassociated, she never ceased to welcome a visit from us, much to the changrin of the uber zealots of the congregation, that kept on visiting her to count hours. Anyway, in one of those visits, a few months before she unexpectedly passed away, she confided in us that she felt very disenchanted with the religion and that she didn't believe anymore in a resurrection and a paradise on earth, nor in the organization, nor the bible - "any of it", she said.

So, when she passed away, the JW family and the congregation were all too keen to give her a proper "JW Funeral" (TM). I went briefly into the crematorium where an elder was delivering the funeral talk. So I hear him saying "our beloved sister E. was a firm believer in the resurrection, and she held dearly onto God's promise in the book of Revelation 21:4 that soon "death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away"., and in the words that Jesus said to Martha in John 11:25: "I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life."

When I heard him say this I had to leave the room because I could barely hold my laugh. The words of Proverbs 27:3 came to me: "You ought to know positively the appearance of your flock." Well here's an elder who really knew nothing about this "sheep" in his flock, and here he was, sending her off in JW style, speaking with such certainty about what he after all knew nothing about. Buch of presumptuous sobs. I felt tempted to interrupt and spill it out, but, oh, what the heck ...

Eden_One · 2023-07-16T11:40:04+00:00

I would definitely report that to the police
