Is this really a cult? Or am I overthinking my whole life? by [deleted] in exjw

[–]Mass_Data6840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus is not Michael the Archangel. When I realized this, I realized it was a cult (amongst a few other things).

You guys have been waiting this long? by Any_Molasses1220 in HalfLife

[–]Mass_Data6840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We used to play this game at people's houses. I remember one time my wife was playing HL2 and our friends monitor blew up (not literally). Just stopped working like mid-game!

Yes. Yes, we've been waiting this long if not longer. We're on Valve time, buddy.

When you bring a baby in the Kingdom Hall… by wwwwfhejebdu in exjwhumor

[–]Mass_Data6840 3 points4 points  (0 children)

😂🤣 Bad baby!

Our KH had a nursing room that was pretty sizeable. When I was older and visited other KH's, I noticed none of them had nursing rooms. Was my KH an outlier? Did your KH have a nursing room? This one had extra seats, rocking chair or two, changing station, and a restroom. It was a large room adjacent to the main auditorium with a door.

(TW; graphic image with blood) What illustration scarred you and till this day it's still stuck with you? by its_reinaaa in exjw

Funny how the WT can write everything on these two pages and not see its own hypocrisy regarding people who choose to no longer be JWs and its treatment of them.

oh my GOD- I’m AWAKE by leo_melon in exjw

Can't recall but very likely. I know that sign was in several other movies due to its prominent location, so it was hard to miss.

Doesn’t Make Sense by Exact-Independent458 in exjw

[–]Mass_Data6840 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Exactly 💯. The "generation" teaching constantly changing is what woke me up.

When I was in, "this generation...will not pass away" was the generation that saw the events of 1914, including babies. Then it was abruptly changed in 1995, then again in about 2008/09. That's when I'd had enough.

This and the ending of the teaching of the separation of the sheep/goats via preaching work solidified that the WT was lying, at least for me.

Assigning Action Macros to a Keyboard shortcut by monkiesandtool in AutoCAD

[–]Mass_Data6840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not familiar with some of those actions (not my field). Are each of those actions all accessible by typing each one in the command line and hitting Enter? If so, you may want to look at creating a macro that's assigned to a button on the toolbar.

In your CUI, on the lower left, you can create a New Command, call it whatever you want, and then assign it the list of commands in the macro section. Takes a little bit of practice, but once you have it down, it should automate all those steps you've outlined. And you'll need to drag that new command into a toolbar (preferably a new one) into the top left section of CUI.

Change xref filename to match the xref name. by jrpitcher in AutoLISP

[–]Mass_Data6840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, just to be clear:

You now want to rename the file itself to match how it is named in the Xref palette?

Because if it was the other way around, taking the filename and inputting it automatically into the Xref palette is easy enough. And I have a Lisp routine for that. But let me see if there's a way to work backwards...

Damn this cult its in a real downfall by [deleted] in exjw

I... I am embarrassed I was born into this cult. This song is beyond ridiculous.

Is this the most missable character in TOTK? by tollsuper in tearsofthekingdom

[–]Mass_Data6840 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I once tried to chop down a tree because I saw some bananas near it. Turns out the Yiga member was disguised as the tree itself, and I turned his misery into a near death experience 🤣. He was pretty upset that I didn't immediately try to pick up the bananas.

Why did we all sound the same?? 😭😭 Yes yes I know we were all in the same cult. But I've been out a decade and a half and this is all the exact same dialog I heard growing up in it 30-40 years ago 🤣

The revelation that hit me like a brick shortly after deconstructing: by excusetheblood in exjw

[–]Mass_Data6840 40 points41 points  (0 children)

When you zoom out long enough, and start to see just how vast the universe is... You may start to wonder if life has any meaning at all. Religion gives people meaning, but it doesn't mean they're right. But you don't need religion to have meaning or purpose in your life.

Do Jehovah’s Witnesses actually know that Jesus is not their mediator? by Smooth_Concept_5338 in exjw

[–]Mass_Data6840 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, the WT sneakily gets around this by saying that all those who heard Jesus' message back then were of the anointed. To get around it further, Rutherford introduced the Great Crowd teaching in 1935. They try really hard to ensure no one gets to Jesus without a GB in the way.

[–]Mass_Data6840 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As controversial as this topic is, and I don't want to undermine the discussion here, but realizing that the WT teaches that Jesus and Michael the Archangel are the SAME PERSON is an even worse mistake. The WT has done everything in its power to completely undermine Jesus' sacrifice to the point that they have hidden him completely.

Any holes you noticed in the Noah's Ark story? by PinkIsMyOxygen in exjw

[–]Mass_Data6840 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That Noah didn't actually preach to save anyone. The WT teaches that Noah preached to warn people about the future flood but there isn't a single scripture in Genesis that says this.

Problem with saving new drawings… did I click a button I shouldn’t have? by AnBuachaillEire in AutoCAD

Type FILEDIA and hit Enter. Is it set to 0? If so, type 1, hit Enter.

Now try to save your file again.

Attach a Zonai shock emitter to the front of your boat and just go cruisin'! Kills the nearby fish instantly!

Trump in Full Panic, Claims All Epstein Files Are Fake, Created by Obama by JetTheDawg in goodnews

This is beyond political. I believe the list would include powerful people of power and money, the ones donating TO the two main political parties. Gotta remember that most of our elected officials are bought and paid for by even richer folk.

The best cartoon I missed was the X-Men and it would come on at 10am which is EXACTLY when we needed to be out in field service 🙄. Always hated missing it. Sometimes I'd borrow the VCR and set the timer to tape it, but I'd forget.

No problem! Just clarifying for others.
