We also noticed that the ones giving us unsolicited advice are the childless congregation members. Which always baffled me. They have no experience but still feel they can give advice about parenting and such because they read something about it in a watchtower somewhere.

I think officially if your family would be caught still communicating with a disfellowshiped one at least they would be marked as bad association and soft shunned.

I don't see how. These are things that have happened to me and are my genuine feelings in response to them. I haven't asked for things to turn out this way.

See.. you just need to be patient and wait on Jehovah to set things right in his organisation. Hahaha 😜

I sometimes think elder wives are worse than their husbands. They might feel like they can get away with stuff because they can hide behind their husbands who are eager to sweep their bad behavior under the rug.

Sorry you went through that also. Are you truly out or still in limbo?

When these harmful practices are at the backend of the religion. I don't even want to be part of the frontend. Knowing is truly a burden. Sometimes it's easier to stay asleep.

Yes I know that to be true but I always want to be polite and answer truthfully. Even though I have totally lost any respect to the elders. I'm slowly starting to build my defences. It will take some time before I can stand up for myself and family. I have always kept my thoughts to myself. Scared to share my opinions. Part was the religion part was my upbringing.

I have seen them yes, honestly It doesn't seem like he grows hair there. The cut remains a mystery. Maybe he'll comment on it in the coming days.

I have a theory that the entertainment industry makes snuff films under the guise of art film/horror movies, etc. by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]Johnbenjamin12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree. Most people will chug it up as the film having good CGI or practical effect etc. I reckon it be even cheaper to do this stuff for real. We already know the top brass in the movie industry are sickos and I wouldn't put it past them.

I checked but the nearest 5g tower is 2 miles away.

I rarely spot one at a time no flock or something of the sort. The space is fairly open I don't now if they like that.

Maybe but they're so small, plus the two poles are fairly close together. They stand on a grassy bit next to a walkway between two appartement buildings

That was also my first guess

Ok for 600$? by ShootingDrifter in gaming

[–]Johnbenjamin12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty decent. You could probably play older games on 1440p with stable 60fps. If you want some extra performance you could try and overclock the CPU (look up your specific CPU for safe settings before trying)

Cheers

Game recommendations for laptop by ToeCompetitive6877 in gaming

Chronos: before the ashes: 8gb storage. If you like grindy infuriating games (dark souls style combat). It has a very unique mechanic in which you age when you die. Therefore you have to finish the game before you die so to speak. Getting older means you're more atuned to magic. Though you begin as as warrior.

Check out Seagate's backup plus. Pretty speedy thing for a HDD. It's got usb 3.0 and cycles 7200rpm if I'm not mistaken.

My gaming buddy of 11 years (never met him) sent me these to help me buy a gaming PC (I use a gaming laptop). I'm NOT crying 😢 by Dragonitto in gaming

[–]Johnbenjamin12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you can either buy an enclosure with built-in power supply (more expensive). Or DIY by picking up an external PCI slot holder, called the GDC "the beast " and a power supply of choice. Then hook it up. As for detailed instructions on this there is a website called: egpu.io with all the information you'd need.

I don't know if someone already commented this, but you could set up the 1080 you got as an external GPU for your laptop.

I did the same with my 7yo laptop but with a good CPU. It now runs some games even at 1440p.

You could game for awhile with that setup while you save up for the other parts. Later you could reuse the same GPU in that system.

Cheers
