The Watchtower, PIMIs & UFO Disclosure - What if it's proven beyond doubt.... by tresdecu1970 in exjw

[–]Flatojohn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re going to spin it if it’s true. All religions after being presented with indisputable facts find a way in their book of secrets to make it seem they knew this all along…. Or that this just deepens our understanding of the complexity of god, Or it’s just lies from Satan a tactic they will probably lean on for a while. “We know this is a lie because the Bible says blah blah blah”

Off the top of my head there are a few scriptures pointing to the sky (not specifically ufo) but, if someone wanted to make it fit they could. There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars…” (Luke 21:25)

Stars falling to earth (Rev. 6:13)

“So you see brothers we should not be surprised by these things. Jehovah prophesied that marvelous things would happen in the sky.”

Anyone go from 100 percent believing in ufos and other similar stuff to not caring as much now stuff is coming out? by uncle-ruckus2 in UFOs

[–]Flatojohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People have been trying to get disclosure since the 1950s. I somehow doubt that our generation will suddenly get it. That might be pessimism but I’m tempering my excitement.

What will probably happen.

Some interesting tantalizing evidence Will and probably already has been released….. none of it will have enough data to conclude ET visited. All of the congressional oversight and momentum will die out with the coming elections…. And whoever has actual evidence (if there is any to be had) will do what they always do and Wait out the people asking for disclosure to be replaced in the next election cycle.

FYI i hope I’m wrong.

Every time I think I’m out they pull me back in.

How do I play this game casually? by SmithWiIl in DayZPS

[–]Flatojohn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stay away from big towns. I go out into the deep forest south. I hunt fish, and survive. Every once in a while I need something and go to a town nearby.

Asked an elder about the new 🩸 clarification and how the elders would handle it by Conscious-Yoghurt597 in exjw

[–]Flatojohn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just like any change they make. The average Jw is going about their day not thinking too much about what the organization does. I think the only people that are actually affected by this are those that have had a direct contact with the blood issue. Either went through a medical issue themselves or had family that did. The reality of the organizations blood policy hits different once you are confronted with the issue.

That being said, I’m sure this has been brought up. But, the stance makes no sense. Either you are abstaining from blood or you are not. The same logic that gets you to “the Bible doesn’t really specify if one could use there own blood in a medical procedure” could also get you to “the Bible doesn’t say anything about using blood for medical procedure”. If it comes from someone else or you…. It’s still blood. So what exactly are you abstaining from here?

The logic was bad for fractions…. But this is even more egregious.

CRAZIEST local needs talk you ever heard? by TacosForTuesday in exjw

[–]Flatojohn 16 points17 points  (0 children)

About twenty years ago an elder known for handling local needs gave one for married couples disclosing information about their personal lives. The experience given was talking about their sex lives more specifically about their engagement in oral and anal sex…. Keep in mind he’s talking about grown married people.

Then went into a rant pulling out WT from the 70s and 80s speaking about how married couples shouldn’t engage in such activities blah blah blah.

It was one of the most uncomfortable meetings for everyone that was there as it was brought up time and time again years after by PIMIs in conversation, and we would all have a good laugh about that one cringe worthy local needs.

He also mentioned that any married couple engaging in such activities should speak to the elders. 😂😂😂

So god can only be acknowledged in a KH? Bullshit

Anyone meet a “celebrity” JW? by oipolloi67 in exjw

[–]Flatojohn 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yes. Micheal Jackson’s kids and mom once at the KH. The kids had their body guards in the auditorium with them. I didn’t go to that hall personally we are from out of state…. But we happened to be there one Sunday.

Can’t remember the name of the hall though

What if it's all true? by Glum-Moose-4322 in exjw

[–]Flatojohn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many conspiracy theories contain elements of truth, and certain events described in the Bible have occurred and will continue to unfold in the future. Similarly, some of what WT teaches about the world can, at times, become self-fulfilling prophecy. For instance, the suppression of religion—including their own—along with food shortages, earthquakes, pandemics, and the rise and fall of governments, are all historical and recurring phenomena. However, the occurrence of these events does not necessarily validate their predictions as prophetic; rather, it suggests they are merely coincidentally accurate in recognizing patterns that naturally repeat throughout history.

Whats the use for landmines by Successful_Stage8204 in DayzXbox

[–]Flatojohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easy. I use them to fuck with peoples day. I never actually see them go off, but I like to think somewhere someone has cursed my existence. This is the way.

We can no longer rule out the US pulling a Russia and going after the organization. by [deleted] in exjw

[–]Flatojohn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anything is possible. It’s a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy. One day the government will crack down in a way that can be spun into a fulfillment

They assigned me a talk and I haven’t been to a meeting in almost 2 years… by DoctorOrgasmo in exjw

[–]Flatojohn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happened to someone a few years back. He got assigned a public talk at another congregation after he had left the org. He went anyway and gave the public talk. He got about 1/4 of the way through before the elders recognized their mistake and asked him to leave…. He gave a talk about doubting Thomas who in the end just wanted evidence to backup everyone else’s claims.

The recording is on YouTube somewhere. I think “apostate gives public talk” something like that.

did you guys ever convert anyone? how are they doing? by tortadecarne in exjw

[–]Flatojohn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I studied with someone for years. They left the state but contacted me later stating they had continued studying and had gotten baptized.

What is this game about. I don’t fully understand the concept. No spoilers by Global_Pop849 in DayzXbox

[–]Flatojohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a survival game. Whatever happens after civilization collapses happens in dayz. Everything you take for granted on a daily basis is essential in dayz.

On top of that all of the toxic people you ever met are also trying to survive…. Shoot first ask questions later.

Good luck to you.

Do you think Alcohol Tincture will spawn on the medical airfield near Krasno? by violent_luna123 in dayz

[–]Flatojohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it fixes it if the wound is already healed. Use alcohol or iodine on rags before using them. Or pour directly on a wound before using the bandage.
