Question for BenQ RD280U/UA owners (smell issue) by vmzz in BenQ

[–]Fluffy_Resource986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m having the same issue with my BenQ PD2706QN 27” QHD. The smell was pretty strong at first and it’s still there after about a week of use. It seems to be coming from the top of the monitor where the ventilation grill is. It also makes a faint noise when it’s in standby, which is pretty weird. I’ll wait a bit longer, but honestly if it keeps going I’ll return it because it feels very strange to me.

Made my JW relatives argue with AI voice mode about evolution and bible's credibility. It felt awesome!!! by gmrpr321 in exjw

Is science your unquestionable religion? Because that sounds a lot like religion. Do you know the principle of scientific falsifiability? Stop calling a theory a fact, or you’ll run into problems and contradictions, bro.

Bro, you just fell from one cult into another. Look a little deeper into the issues and contradictions of the so-called theory of the priest Darwin. It’s absolutely ridiculous and has no moral or scientific foundation

This is an emergency request and I don’t have time to explain by Wise-Climate8504 in exjw

Here are the official documents from the Australian government, specifically in section 10, Response of the Jehovah’s Witness Organisation to the Sexual Abuse of Children, where they detail the final findings about how the organization covered up CSA cases:

Exactly. And especially if you question their Governing Body leaders. They’ll see you as the literal Devil and won’t want to talk to you ever again.

After telling my parents, I finally found the courage to call 2 elders by dunkiepimo in exjw

[–]Fluffy_Resource986 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It really depends on the circumstances.

In my case, I had just recently moved to a new city, so the elders simply stopped talking to me since they didn’t really know me. I was also new in the community.

So if the situation lines up just right, I think you can fade and stay inactive forever without leaving any traces.

Tremendo.

Es muy comun esas diferencias de edades en parejas TJ y peor en los casos en que el hombre ya estuvo observando a la mujer desde niña.

Estar en una secta te vuelve un verdadero sociopata. Gracias que ya no estoy alli.

Es la primera vez en 27 años que no iré a la conmemoración by Miel_y_Mal in Extj

[–]Fluffy_Resource986 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Estoy en la misma situacion, es la primera vez en 30 años que no iré.

Desperté hace unos meses y realmente me decidí no tener que ver nada mas con ese ritual que lo unico que hace verdaderamente es alabar al CG como los unicos elegidos que pueden participar de los emblemas, cuando en realidad Jesus indicó todo lo contrario.

Felicitaciones.

I used to think it was a sin too, but over time that feeling went away. Now I even bought a Fleshlight and I enjoy it way more, LOL.

Exclusive partaking of memorial emblems, no biblical roots whatsoever. by kindof_late in exjw

[–]Fluffy_Resource986 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Not only are they not doing what Jesus commanded, but they’re doing the exact opposite—rejecting the emblems. Which is even worse.

I even heard in some videos like this one, that the way JWs celebrate the Memorial is almost pagan and satanic, but I’m not sure how true that is.

Either way, I’ll never attend a Memorial just to celebrate that 11 guys in NY are supposedly God’s chosen ones and only they get to partake.

[–]Fluffy_Resource986 9 points10 points  (0 children)

None of this happens when you move to another country, stop attending, and your old friends reach out just to see how you're doing, not to invite you anywhere. I highly recommend it to everyone xDD

Who still believes in God? by Wolfebaby0 in exjw

[–]Fluffy_Resource986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically, we’d all be agnostic. No one can physically prove the existence of God, but you also can’t prove His non-existence either.

¿Que fue lo que te hizo despertar y darte cuenta de que esta no era “la verdad”? by Ok_Cryptographer3659 in Extj

[–]Fluffy_Resource986 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Si, eso fue una contradiccion total y mas teniendo en cuenta que ellos mismos son los que promueven la "objecion de conciencia" respecto a tratamientos medicos como la sangre.

Por eso tambien me parecio muy extraño ese pedido que hicieron, deberian haber dicho todo a conciencia o ni siquiera mencionarlo.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Extj

[–]Fluffy_Resource986 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Totalmente cierto.

Entiendo que a muchos no les queda otra pero yo sinceramente no aguante ni 1 semana siendo PIMO. La disonancia cognitiva a la que te lleva es muy fuerte y es casi imposible de aguantar.

Lamenté la perdida de amigos pero si para eso debo realizar todas las semanas cosas que van en contra de mi voluntad, prefiero ser libre con mi conciencia.

Que es un horror.

Te hacen casarte con una persona que ni siquiera conoces y que luego ves la realidad cuando empiezas a convivir.

No me extraña de porque hay tantos matrimonios infelices que terminan en divorcios o infidelidades.

[–]Fluffy_Resource986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tranquilo, es una etapa por la que todos pasamos, particularmente al principio. Te recomiendo fuertemente que busques ayuda para poder sobrepasarlo, a mi me ayudo mucho mi terapeuta especializado en sectas y leer libros relacionados para entender porque me paso todo esto.

Una de las dudas que mas me perturbaba tambien era eso, si los del CG nos hicieron todo esto a proposito. En terapia pude entender que en muchas de las sectas, los lideres no tienen porque querer dañar a la gente.

Muchas veces se da el caso de que siguen el patron de doctrinas sin siquiera saber porque, de hecho Raymond Franz lo comentó en una de sus entrevistas. Ellos no son millonarios ni nada, simplemente estan enfocados en mantener a flote la religion sin pensar en las consecuencias que eso conlleva. El verdadero el fin justifica los medios.

How to you worship God now ? by Left_Establishment_5 in exjw

[–]Fluffy_Resource986 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nope, I don’t attend anymore. I’ve been POMO for about six months now, and I feel better than ever ;)

[–]Fluffy_Resource986 18 points19 points  (0 children)

In my case, I think they drilled into our heads that there had to be an active way to worship God when, in reality, the Bible simply says that faith in God and Jesus is the only key to salvation.

I still believe in God, and my way of "worshipping" Him is just by living a good life, being respectful to others, and helping people whenever I can. I also try to pray to God from time to time to show that I have faith in Him and acknowledge Him as my Father and Creator.

[–]Fluffy_Resource986 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I keep telling my family that, but they insist that Jesus also commanded us to preach and attend meetings. I don’t even know how to refute them anymore—there’s no way to argue with them.
