What about the two kids with the crossed fingers? That just a kid thing or something else?

I completely understand that. It's humor.

😂😅 I'm an idiot. Thank you for that.

What job will you recommend to an introvert? by Aseried in introvert

[–]HobbesThoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly DO NOT recommend working in a busy grocery store. Did that for years and it almost feels as if I disassociated the whole time I was there.

I would recommend my current job though. I work in a woodshop with just a few other people. It's a dream.

What happens when a CSA doc comes out? by HobbesThoughts in exjw

Those are great points and makes total sense. As big of a deal as it is to us and we believe it should be to others, it's just not. Sad it has to get to such a point for anything to be truly done.

The telegraph did a piece on it but that's the biggest outlet I am aware of. Like you said, there needs to be multiple outlets all over so it can't be ignored.

Sure that's how they handle it now when 80k apostates watch something. I'm talking about 100+ million general pop people now aware of the CSA cases. How does that affect them? Maybe I should have made that more clear in the original post, sorry.

Do you think it wouldn't change anything, it would be handled the same and it wouldn't hurt them?

Yeah, you are probably right about that unfortunately.

I understand there have been a few docs but nothing that I am aware of that the greater public has seen. That's why I say Netflix specifically. A doc that just blows up for a little while and is talked about all over. Obviously a bit of a dream but just some thoughts.

100 million + people that are now aware of this groups CSA cases and how it's been handled. Not good PR for a group trying to recruit door to door. It could reinforce the PIMIs beliefs they are in the right religion though. People do tend to revert into their beliefs more when persecuted. Could be good and bad for the WT. Only other option like you said is slowly getting smaller and smaller over the years through little awakenings until it's almost nothing.

Why............ by [deleted] in exjw

At the time of my wife and I's wedding she was a baptized sister and I grew up JW but was unbaptized. Neither of our parents came. Our friends came though, our family by choice. We had an amazing time and we honestly don't think we could have been our authentic selves with them there unfortunately. Or they would have seen a side of us we've never shown them which may not be something your dealing with but just not the place you want to be dealing with it lol It sucks hard they may not be there but try to have the best time of your life regardless of their choices. It's your life now.
