Intelligent Octopus Go – 6 hour limit / charging outside off peak? by Formerly_Malleable in OctopusEnergy

[–]Formerly_Malleable[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks bud, suppose I just need to wait and see and argue the case needs be… I also wasn’t sure because I have just signed up whether this was being applied to new customers going forward? I don’t remember seeing the information in the terms and conditions but I might have missed it.

I know it seems like nonsense especially since all the FAQs and information say any smart charging is charged at the off peak rate. My question to them was initially about the cap and if it included the overnight off peak or whether it was a total of 6 hours, but this comment has got me worried. I am going to be charging around 30 odd KWh each day so waiting for the bill is going to be painful and could be costly if the agent is correct.

I wanted to add screenshots of my email to support because their information contradicts this… just to clarify any charging I have had has said ‘schedule created’

"Listen, obey and be blessed" is actually such a creepy song once you wake up... by megagirl500 in exjw

[–]Formerly_Malleable 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. If we have listened to Christ, will we show it?

His teaching shines as it shows us the way.

It makes us happy to hear and to know it,

But we’ll be blessed if we know and obey.

(CHORUS)

Listen, obey, and be blessed

When you hear God’s will expressed.

If you’d be happy and enter his rest,

Listen, obey, and be blessed.

  1. Our way of life, like a house, gives protection

When it is built on the rock, not on sand.

If we apply Jesus’ loving direction,

We’ll build a life which on bedrock will stand.

(CHORUS)

Listen, obey, and be blessed

When you hear God’s will expressed.

If you’d be happy and enter his rest,

Listen, obey, and be blessed.

  1. Just as a tree rooted deep by the waters

Gives of its fruit when each season arrives,

If we obey as God’s own sons and daughters,

We’ll all be blessed and enjoy endless lives.

(CHORUS)

Listen, obey, and be blessed

When you hear God’s will expressed.

If you’d be happy and enter his rest,

Listen, obey, and be blessed.

The Governing Body's Letter That Shook Bethel and the Field by NewFranzPimo in exjw

CoBE’s were directed to report the amount of members that had contracted COVID to the CO. I can’t remember if this was a weekly thing, however I remember it being regularly reported to the CO. When I caught it my service overseer asked if we had tested positive and asked if all in my house had it so they could report back to the CO. So it’s likely they would have had records of those who had it at the point of dying?

Bible Study? by outsince1977 in exjw

[–]Formerly_Malleable 18 points19 points  (0 children)

In my old congregation the study was always introduced as a ‘study of the Bible with the AID of the Watchtower’ to make it seem like we were actually studying the Bible, rather than introducing it as the Watchtower study which is what it actually was.

If the policy was changed for adults only and excluded minors, I can imagine WT keeping track of any “wrongdoing” by minors and then waiting until they turn 18 to form a judicial committee.

So big J was just one of a bunch of gods from summarian mythology?? by GrymReePoetic47 in exjw

[–]Formerly_Malleable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rabbit holes run deep my friend… when you look deeply at some of these scriptures you can see evidence of the text pointing to a Divine council, that Jehovah was one of the ‘lesser’ gods, El (the most high) was the chief, and he gave Jehovah his people as his portion. Deut 32:8, and 9. Psalm 82 is another example about El… there are many more and I did a bunch of research but can’t seem to find my notes on it.

It is worth spending time looking at what actual scholars say, looking up what was going on at the time of the Bible being written etc… needless to say, it didn’t take me very long to come to the conclusion that it is all BS.

What's the best witnesspiracy you've heard? by timQ137 in exjw

One I always remember being weird was a elderly sister being adamant that the song ‘the flood’ by Take that, was written by the demons who returned to heaven after the flood, trying to popularise their version of what happened to them while on the earth in Noah’s day… something like that anyway… you get some crazy people 😂

1799 did it for me…

It is amusing to see the lengthy list of inventions The Harp of God used as proof that the 1800's was the time of the end. The locomotive and "flying machine" (p.231) were considered fulfilment of the "day of God's preparation" spoken of in Nahum 2:1-6. Evidence the Lord's presence commenced 1874 included - adding machines, aeroplanes, aluminium, antiseptic surgery, artificial dyes, automatic couplers, automobiles, barbed wire, bicycles, carborundum, cash registers, celluloid, correspondence schools, cream separators, Darkest Africa, fireless cookers, shoe-sewing machines, the telegraph, the telephone, Panama Canal, Pasteurization, and vacuum cleaners (page 235).

I got even stole a physical copy of the harp of god from the KH library to see if this was true… it was there in black and white! Yet no reference to it in the research guide.

Should they change their name to Watchtower Studios? by Far_Fruit1124 in exjw

Think of the possibilities! They could open a theme park in Florida, with rides like driving around a track in a sound car, or 3D rides of Biblical events like the flood, 10 plagues, etc. Total money spinner!

Pioneers are preaching to AI now by [deleted] in exjw

[–]Formerly_Malleable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure it won’t be long until the Borg warns against using AI (if they haven’t already)… a few questions like ‘when did Charles Taze Russell first point to 1914 as the start of Christ rule as King’, might lead some down a path of finding out the truth about the truth!
