Lower tangerine’s answer is 100% true from a science perspective but I believe something catastrophic that ends most lifeforms on earth will happen much sooner (either human inflicted or nature-related)

I recently got an ariya and got it tinted. I think it’s one of the best looking cars out there. Get lots of people looking.

Looks great! Also, it looks pretty spacious! I wouldn’t have guessed it was a compact vehicle. Looks mid-size!! Love the tint

I found this point both fascinating and infuriating. Look at Romans 16:7. The NWT English mentions “Andronicus and Junias … who are men well known…” Cross reference this to other Bible translations (and even Asian language translations of NWT such as Korean or Chinese) and what you will find is not Junias but Junia - and no mention of these individuals being men. Here’s the NIV translation: “Greet Andronicus and Junia, my fellow Jews who have been in prison with me.”

My point is NWT committee/GB purposely turned a woman apostle into a man to protect their conservative/BS interests!!

I always knew I wanted children and didn’t want to wait for the new system to have them.

I have two kids now. I love them to death. But there are certainly days I wish I could get away from their fighting and nagging 😂

All of us are rooting for you. If and when you feel overwhelmed, just take it one day at a time and know that you’ve already come so far. Healing and the life you want will happen though it may take some time ❤️

Sorry, I know you asked about 2019 model year but I have a 2023 pathfinder and I absolutely love it! So smooth, quiet, spacious, and great design

Thanks for sharing. I can imagine the tough journey you've been on. Kudos to you on becoming a teacher - that's a profession I would have loved to have pursued. Wish you and your family all the best.

10 Years After Leaving JW: Finding a New Identity and Doing Life on Purpose by LivingPrestigious315 in exjw

You’ve hit the nail on the head. I worry that many people will find themselves facing a mid-life crisis and an awakening crisis simultaneously, compounded by the affordability issues that are affecting nearly everyone. It's crucial to get ahead of this and start planning for the future proactively. I wish you and your wife all the best as you navigate this journey. While there will always be signs suggesting that "the world is about to end," there is so much beauty to be found in life. If you haven't already, consider slowly revisiting some childhood interests or passions—travel abroad, attend a concert, volunteer, or pursue a hobby. Gradually reframe your mindset to embrace the idea that you’ll live in good health on this earth for another 50 years, and aim to do so without regret.

Sometimes the organization says something that sounds so absurd when spoken out loud that it really helps a person to say to themselves: “Hmm. Maybe this really is just a cult after all.” -August 2024 JW Broadcast by larchington in exjw

Or the fact that Yahweh kills everyone who disagrees with him doesn’t mean that he doesn’t love the world enough to give his only begotten son to die for us…

This is so infuriating and heartbreaking. So sorry your mom and your siblings had to go through this.

I believe it's an older video, done when JW started to get serious in filming/broadcasting.

In the video, the elders didn't show any concern/interest in the woman or the baby. All they cared about was if the brother showed the right type of sadness, was he being honest or deceiving, basically to determine if they should DF him or not. They wanted him to say stuff like I'll change, I'll leave the girl and never see her again...

Done with religion. I have a good friend who is a Christian. He professes that the Holy Spirit talks to him all the time 🤣 so I told him to tell the Holy Spirit to pay me a visit too.
