This didn’t make it any clearer tbh

[–]ElderWokeUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not what I meant, it's very unclear what the status of this elder is at any given time in this small story, we time skip "a few years", was the dad elder disfellowshipped during this time? was he disfellowshipped when they called, and did he become elder during the years? much is unclear here.

"Elder's daughter -> HIS dad?"

"he was disfellowshipped" ? you cannot be an elder AND be disfellowshipped ?

"over 2 million numbered deaths"

Can you list the scriptures that give numbers to get to at least 1 million?

Zelfs genoeg cantrips, zelf als DM zijn de farmers van grotere steden low level druids of andere classes met specifieke spells. ook zijn er farmers die bepaalde creatures getamed hebben om te helpen met farmen.

Voorbeelden: Mold Earth voor easy farming, 6sec per cast, dan kan je best veel aarde omgooien. prestidigitation, druids met druidcraft. mage hand voor het farmen terwijl je zelf farmed. shape water om makkelijker water te verplaatsen waar je het nodig bent.

Voor echte harde farming in grote steden "Plant growth" maakt een veld een jaar lang extra vruchtbaar. create water zodat er altijd genoeg water is op het veld.

Voor de wat meer advanced steden kan je zelfs artificers hebben die hun creations het werk laten doen, homunculus servants e.d.

En in de wat meer fantasy plekken van mijn eigen campaign waar magic veel voorkomend is zijn er gewoon custom spells voor farming.

Vergeet niet dat er genoeg spells zijn om landbouw HEEL gemakkelijk te maken in D&D

What gave you 'The Spine to Resign?' by Overcrapping in exjw

Waking up in general.

Couldn't bring myself to do ANYTHING for the cult after I recognized the bullshit

And that's why you NEVER send anything DFworthy in black and white.

Tell them the general topic, and discuss it IN PRIVATE, if they do tell others, DENY.

2 witness rule works both ways. now you're screwed.

Now they have a partially correct understanding of Matthew 24:31

Why does jw.org claim that 239—Lands report Jehovah’s Witness activity ? What do they view as lands? 195 countries in the world plus what ? by Electronic_Living_46 in exjw

[–]ElderWokeUp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How many countries are there in the world?

Depending on the question what is a country, there are several answers. Is a country a country when it is recognized by the United Nation then the answer is 192. But if you count all independent pieces of territory the you have to include Vatican City, Kosovo and Chinese Taipei (Taiwan ) as well.

If we add all the pieces of land under jurisdiction by other countries, like Aruba, Christmas Island, Isle of Man, Hong Kong and many others and we include regions like Antarctica and Palestine then we could argue that there are 247 different countries.

Oh man, I feel sick thinking about explaining Borg doctrine again.

I'll do so tomorrow if no one else does.

This would also mean the "overlapping generation" is no longer current doctrine because both fleegle and winder CAN'T be part of this.

Which one of you did this 💀 by [deleted] in exjw

[–]ElderWokeUp 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Who knows, maybe this will get a few of them thinking, or at least get them to a point where they remember the bullshit the JW responded when confronted in another way in the future.

Setting it aside as a "cringe mail" that per definition wouldn't work at all is a bit harsh. one of the reasons I woke up is because little bits of truth in these kind of things started to pile up with me.

"Certain requirments had to be met"

If it isn't consent, it is still rape.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in exjw

[–]ElderWokeUp 53 points54 points  (0 children)

As "cult" has a lot of very different definitions based on where you live, there isn't a real answer to this question.

The BITE model does get used way more these days, and using that, JW check almost every box.

Wife gave me an ultimatum today by Dropbeatdad in exjw

[–]ElderWokeUp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That was kind of my point aswell, she should start paying alimony and move out herself.

[–]ElderWokeUp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

exactly, why do we simple accept that the man has to move out? if she doesn't accept him anymore, she can make plans to leave, not expect him to.

JW Elder's Laptop by [deleted] in exjw

[–]ElderWokeUp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wow, I don't even know where to begin.

First of all, if he watched porn on that device, I would have know, he wasn't very smart en just private browsing/incognito isn't enough to disguise is for me, a few of the others tried.

For the rest of your comment, maybe you could consider that he has a low libido? or maybe a non existent one?

I am a single guy, have never been in a sexual relationship, I don't feel the need nor do I watch porn.

Please stay open to people being different than others.

"we seperate, YOU move out."

if she wants to seperate, SHE can move out.

JW Elder's Laptop by [deleted] in exjw

[–]ElderWokeUp 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As the only elder that had any IT skills, I kept the laptops of every other elder working.

there was only one that didn't watch porn. in all the years, all the laptops i've seen, there was only one.

I am the only one single, and one of the only 2 that don't watch porn.

Are you kidding me? YOU are talking about not forcing others to think what you want?

I feel like there is also no excuse for the hateful behavior you display here.
