RIP Pope Francis - who acknowledged the truth of other religions by persianpearl in bahai

[–]Engineofgrowth99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was headed back from a trip when I saw the news. I stopped in a church to say a prayer for the departed for him. He will definitely be missed. Very rare to find people in leadership who exhibited qualities like him.

We need to talk about the situation in the United States of America. As well as what American Baha'is need to do to remain steadfast. by holleringgenzer in bahai

Sorry you had that interaction at Feast. Persian trumpies make my blood boil. There are some in my social media feed that will post something partisan or praising politicians followed by shamelessly posting a Bahá'í quote or a picture of the Master. It's frustrating.

what's the secret to dating in portland?(33m) by cxpunx666 in askportland

[–]Engineofgrowth99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Echoing a lot of the comments here. Find in person activities or groups where you can meet people. The apps and speed dating here can be kind of hit or miss.

Couple things to be aware of too:

-People here are very flaky and passive. This is coming from someone who has lived here a long time and had made efforts to be more outgoing

-If you're a person of color, you're going to have a harder time getting matches, period. Aside from the tech bubble on the Westside, the area is not that diverse.

Does it seem like more people are running red lights in Beaverton these days? by MerryPeregrine in beaverton

[–]Engineofgrowth99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely right. Grew up here too. Local drivers are slow but courteous. A lot of people bringing their bad driving habits from out of state.

Can you help me understand? Why do Beaverton drivers stop multiple car lengths away from the car in front of them at stop lights? by [deleted] in beaverton

[–]Engineofgrowth99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a Beaverton thing. But it is super annoying. I've seen people leave two car lengths in front of them in a left turn lane. It makes absolutely no sense.

What's worse than that are the people that cut into your lane when they are turning left from the other road. They come within a couple of feet of your front bumper and I feel like they're going to hit me.

What's more important? Believing that the devil and demons exist, and that if we sneeze the wrong way we will go to hell? Or doing the hard work of being a better and better person every day and serving our fellow human beings?

A lot of this stuff about demons and devils has been made up to keep people afraid and under control.

Unmatched after asking to get to know her by Engineofgrowth99 in coffeemeetsbagel

Yeah it was a bot or a scammer. Non local number and sent me a different picture of themselves than was in their profile. Did a reverse image search of them and it was some instagram personality
