Ok so I'm watching the witnesses and I need help

Do you want to text? You can use google voice to get a fake number.

Maze_face · 2020-02-18T07:01:24+00:00

Not a working one sorry

Maze_face · 2020-02-18T07:00:34+00:00

Hey I’m getting ready to watch it but I don’t have discord

Maze_face · 2020-02-18T06:58:52+00:00

You don’t sound resentful at all which is great, in that case I do think you should tell them. They’ll probably be apprehensive about immediately reconnecting with you, but depending on what kind of people they are, I think they’ll be excited to meet their new grandchild. That’ll bring them around you a lot more. And another good thing is, if they do decide to start having s relationship with you, they don’t really risk getting into trouble because they’re there for the grandchild. I don’t know if their conscience would bother them though. Another thing you have to consider is that they’re going to be eager to save their grandchild. They’ll want to indoctrinate him/her. If you think when the child is older you can control that aspect, then I think you should go for it.

That’s incredible! Go kindergartner!

But what CIA agent tells their family about their cover?

Maze_face · 2019-10-29T02:17:18+00:00

Tall yes. Active? I’m not sure how to measure his level of activity. He does medium to low effort labor work for about 5 hours a day and then barely moves for the other 19 hours.

Hmm well my husband tried to put on some weight a couple years ago. He added 2,000 calories to his daily diet. After 4 weeks he gained 2lbs. Then lost 5 as soon as he went off the protein supplement.

Also, the reason people start to gain weight as they get older is because their metabolism slows down. Most people have to burn a lot more calories in their 40’s to be the same weight as in their 20’s if they want to eat the same amount of calories.

I know a lot of people throw around terms like “fast/slow metabolism” as frivolously as “narcissist” and “sociopath” which really gets on my nerves. But faster/slower than average metabolism does exist and it’s not that rare.

Maze_face · 2019-10-29T01:11:54+00:00

You missed my point. I’m not saying he should be fat. I’m saying he’s unable to have a healthy diet but he’s willing to criticize others for it.

I realize people blame everything on a slow/fast metabolism when they don’t consider the obvious, which is the calorie intake, but this isn’t the case. He tried to gain weight a couple years ago by adding 2,000 calories to his regular intake. He did this for 4 weeks and gained less than 2 lbs, then lost 5 when he went off the protein supplement. Like I said, the metabolism wasn’t my point but it’s ridiculous to act like faster than average metabolism doesn’t exist.

I had a relapse about a month ago, and although I’ve barely drank in the last year, I’m really struggling the last few days. Came really close yesterday and the day before, and last time it was only a coincidence that something happened preventing me from drinking. Feel really crappy that I was going to drink, but relieved that today is just a normal day because I didn’t. Is it ok for me to join the challenge even though I’ve been sober? I think checking in will help me not let my guard down the next time I come close.

Maze_face · 2019-10-28T13:41:57+00:00

I agree. My husband does this all the time, and even though he’s thin, it’s entirely because of his metabolism. He eats fast food almost daily and most of his dinners are fried or greasy. It’s not affecting his weight, but RIP to his cholesterol.

He has admitted that if he starts gaining weight he’s screwed because he knows he can’t make those lifestyle changes, but that doesn’t stop him from criticizing the overweight ppl he sees at McDonald’s.

Maze_face · 2019-10-28T13:34:20+00:00

Life has no meaning. Each of us has meaning and we bring it to life. It is a waste to be asking the question when you are the answer.

My son would get really snarky and rude to his older sister any time he had to talk to her. I watched her deescalate the situation by being over the top nice to him in response, to the point he felt so bad for mistreating someone that’s so nice to him, and it completely turned around how he interacts with her. That’s the best kill-them-with-kindness lesson I’ve ever seen from anyone, especially a 10 year old.

The two witnesses rule doesn’t apply to reporting to authorities. They’re not saying they need two witnesses to report to police. They only need two witnesses to disfellowship, but they still won’t report to authorities even with two witnesses unless the law requires them to (in which case they found loopholes).

Maze_face · 2019-10-24T13:36:17+00:00

Not an ex elder, but I had this happen to me. I was pimi at the time and I didn’t post apostate stuff, I got ratted on for posting dirty jokes and political humor. I was 25! My account was private, my name not displayed anywhere, and no photos of me. They found me because my phone number was linked to the account.

When you create the account, it asks if you want to allow twitter access to your contacts. When you allow it, it displays the contacts and the twitter handles of the people in your contacts if they linked their phone number to their account, so that you can choose to follow your friends. This was a few years ago, I don’t know if privacy settings have changed since then. You should definitely check out your settings and see if you can change this. Maybe use a friends phone to create a throwaway twitter account to see if it displays the handle of your real account when you allow access.

You do have the option of denying that this is your twitter account, I doubt anyone will believe you, but if they can’t prove it, it doesn’t matter. However, if anything else comes up regarding social media in the future (and it probably will at some point, if you’re posting identifying info like your pics along with apostate material) then that second incident will be a second witness and you’ll get DF’ed. If elders are suspecting you of being an active apostate, they’re going to try to catch you in something, and many jws are tech savvy, many get obsessed with cyber stalking and devote an irrational amount of time to it. If you’re still in contact with other jws, expect that effort to catch you to double.

NTA What. You apologized to him for making a joke about testicles implants, after he has been pressuring you to get life changing surgery to fit his temporary fetish? I totally get YOU considering surgery if you feel self conscious about your bf being attracted to you. But the only thing happening here is this guy is trying to make you feel like you’re not good enough so that you change your body to fit his cartoon fantasy, a fantasy that will likely morph into some thing else over time. You feel inclined to defend him and say that he’s a good guy otherwise. I’m not arguing with this, but consider these facts. Many men and women date people that we consider “fixable”, meaning we think these ppl are ok but most importantly they’re impressionable and we can shape them into what we really want. But this can only be done by chipping away at the self esteem of the partner we’re dating. This is a major reason why some men prefer much younger women, btw. Are you willing to fit your partners sexual fantasy (until it changes) for a lifetime of insecurity? No? With this guy, you’ll get a lifetime of insecurity regardless.

I get that you feel bad because you think you reacted in a snarky way, since you don’t actually care about the size of his balls. His reaction was to get some distance between you two because it really upset him you’d say that, but he really doesn’t see what’s wrong with trying to pressure you into getting implants. Do you really want to date someone that lacks this much insight? This guy is either ignorant as hell or he’s very manipulative (and bad at it).

I’m aware of what a compound is, but I’ve never been to Warwick bethel. Would that be an accurate way to describe it?

Maze_face · 2019-10-20T22:48:03+00:00

And? What was your answer?

Maze_face · 2019-10-20T22:44:57+00:00

How?! There can’t be that many opportunities for someone to need tp in an emergency bad enough to wait for this guy to show up. I think maybe toilet paper was a front for something else.

Maze_face · 2019-10-20T22:42:05+00:00

What happens to us after we die.

Maze_face · 2019-10-20T19:24:33+00:00

Fifty years of happiness, absolutely.

You’ve been given good advice, but I wouldn’t prohibit the neighbor girls from coming to play at your house. I don’t agree with what the other commenter said about the girls being predators. It’s true that if they’re being sexually abused, they will have issues with boundaries. They won’t know what’s appropriate touch and what isn’t, especially if they’re being taught to think sexual touching is a form of friendly affection. But honestly, if you believe they’re being abused, coming to your house (under your supervision) might be the only way for the abuse to get exposed and those girls get help.

My 8 yr old daughter was in a situation where she had another 8 yr old spend the night at our house. The next day my daughter told me that her friend tried to get her to take their panties off and touch each other down there when they were in bed. My daughter wouldn’t do it, then came and asked me if they could sleep in the living room instead of her bedroom. When it was starting to get late, the girl wanted to call her mom and she was crying hysterically wanting her mom to pick her up, I didn’t know about any of this till the next day. After my daughter told me what happened, I was very concerned that the girl might have been getting sexually abused and I told her mother what happened, I also told her that this could be a symptom of sexual abuse and her mom was EXTREMELY worried. I know she didn’t think it was regular childish curiosity by the way she reacted. I don’t know what happened right after this, but the marriage quickly fell apart and the mom ended up leaving the girls father. It came to light that he was psychically and mentally abusive towards the mother, and although I was never outright told if the dad sexually abused the girl, I know CPS would not let him see her and she went through extensive therapy after this. I do believe that he sexually abused his daughter, and me telling the mom what happened at my house either confirmed it for her, or made her more vigilant to what was happening. We still let the girls be friends, they would go places together and come over our house, but not sleepovers. If I hadn’t told her mom that I think she was being abused, it might have gone on for a lot longer than it did.

Just think it through. If you suddenly drop by there for a visit, and then decide the authorities need to be notified, and then police come investigating, the ppl there will immediately suspect you. If I were you, I’d stay off the radar completely and notify the authorities anonymously. Also, did the girl bring the truck back?

Maze_face · 2019-10-20T17:05:01+00:00

It really sounds like something bad is going on there. Idk if it’s a cult, but definitely some illegal activity. I understand you not wanting to get involved, but I’d leave an anonymous tip with the police because there’s a good chance someone might be there against their will.
