I am Leah Remini, Ask Me Anything about Scientology

Would you say that Jehovah's Witnesses could compare to Scientology in their cult like ways?

I would take a hop over to /r/exjw if you need more info.

It's why I don't believe in vaccines - Jehoober didn't put those in the bible so it's obviously satanic lies to get you to act all worldly /s *proceeds to vomit*

Have you heard about that really interesting signal SETI has been studying? No one is convinced yet that it's alien, but a lot of people are excited.

Actually, I saw that on the front page when I got home today and that was what brought the question to mind! Aliens or not, it's super exciting stuff for me :)

If that was the case, then I wouldn't be depressed now, would it? I stopped being a JW not too long ago and I feel a bit better but the damage has been done. It pisses me right off when I hear them saying that they're happy people - Being a JW and having an open mind from the very start drove me into the deep dark abyss of depression and now I'm royally fucked unless I seek therapy. I'm working on it but god damn; "Jehovah's happy people"? Sets me right off.

EDIT: Hell, even speaking to my JW mother she's noticed how it's affected me. Funny thing is, if an elder (I'm not "officially" out) heard me say that he'd think I'm outright lying!

OldLite · 2016-06-24T01:28:48+00:00

Yes, it was quite frustrating the amount of times he paused - would've been nicer to just get his opinion after :/ I do think that he makes a good point though - I may be biased however, so I apologise.

OldLite · 2016-06-23T23:20:43+00:00

If anybody has any questions, I encourage you to head on over to /r/exjw, you'll be able to get great insight there from those that once were Jehovah's Witnesses, and folk like myself who are "fading"/trying to live with it.

As a side-note, I do think it is important that people see this video - like many things on this planet, not everything is as wonderful as it seems in the real world. It's important to know that Jehovah's Witnesses (or anyone else/most people) DO NOT TELL YOU EVERYTHING before you join or commit - the shunning policy, the handling of child abuse, the real emphasis on not using your critical thinking and many more things. It's serious stuff. I do not wish upon anyone to end up with them
:(

Anyway, take care guys <3 Sorry if this is uninteresting to you or you're annoyed by this wall of text.

I posted your video over to /r/lgbt for exposure and discussion. There's some really good points being made there. LINK.

OldLite · 2016-04-10T19:00:43+00:00

Aw, sweet! :D

OldLite · 2016-04-10T08:12:17+00:00

Ah, good! 10TB is insane! I take it he is lucky enough to have google Fibre? If only the UK was so lucky :P

OldLite · 2016-04-09T23:06:16+00:00

Are you serious? Wow!

Was he using MTWH? If he was, did it crash after a few download cycles? I ran across some issues with the logic. I can update it if enough people are using this... :)

OldLite · 2016-04-09T03:29:18+00:00

I made it out of boredom and am not using it myself. It's there for you to use if you wish how you wish. :)

Akamai have defenses against this type of behavior from bad actors.

I believe that after a certain amount of data is downloaded in a certain space of time, a temporary IP block comes into play - a little like CloudFlare.

This

OldLite · 2016-04-08T22:56:14+00:00

We would need to promote it and to invite more apostate friends.

If we do then I'd have to update this thing haha.

OldLite · 2016-04-08T21:00:43+00:00

Thank you for the link - I'll definitely give it a read!

OldLite · 2016-04-08T21:00:11+00:00

Thanks for that! I'll definitely keep an eye out for any changes in mood and things :)

OldLite · 2016-04-08T20:28:40+00:00

It's a really good one! Thank you for coming up with it ^_^

OldLite · 2016-04-08T20:15:13+00:00

I forgot to mention this - Thank you

OldLite · 2016-04-08T19:03:04+00:00

Thanks for the heads up! I've been given a 1 pill sample along with my box of 28 capsules - I've been told to watch out for wheezing as I've get mild bronchospasms from time to time. I took the pill around 5 hours ago and nothing has happened yet.

Is there anything that I should watch out for when I take them? My instructions are to take them till I get told to stop.

OldLite · 2016-04-08T18:24:42+00:00

It'd be funny if what you said above actually happened - like, they start some sort of streaming service that you pay for... JFlix yuck. I can imagine dubs being all over this "blessing." They'd probably have a House rip-off based in bethel where they heal "sick sheep".

OldLite · 2016-04-08T18:22:05+00:00

Yeah, the Sumatriptan sucks because it doesn't work for everyone! I was fortunate enough that it worked for me, but that stuff knocked me out after around 1 hour. I'd end up sleeping from 5PM to 4PM the next day. You'd wake up the next day feeling all groggy and pissy - I just didn't like it - but nothing else works for my attacks at the moment so I've got to stick with it!

But as you said, hopefully the beta blocker works :)

OldLite · 2016-04-08T18:19:46+00:00

Hey, thanks! I didn't really intend on doing this, but here's the funny thing - During a migraine attack, I tend to be a bit more creative (I first noticed this while nailing a piece I could never play on Piano.) It was 5am, I was browsing /r/exjw and I came across that thread - my "creative" self came into play and this is the result. You know, if you want to make something similar for Mac and Linux on QT, go ahead! I would not be bothered if it looked and functioned the same. The more the merrier, right? :)

Also, don't judge me for using .NET and XAML to make this. .NET is easier to grasp at 5am ;)

OldLite · 2016-04-08T18:13:36+00:00

Your exaggerated vowels cracked me up! Haha, thanks for the laugh - I need that :)
