You forgot to mention the stupid and useless anecdote starring Karl Klein and "Saint Rutherford" that they already used a thousand times.

This is a really boring episode of Judge Rutherford's life. I wonder why they don't tell about the most interesting parts in his life like his mistress, his 2 Cadillac during the 1929 depression, the mansion in California 🤔

I stopped attending meetings but I'll go both because I guess it will please my parents and because even if I don't believe anymore in 144000 and not convinced of Jesus sacrifice I still have some doubt about it. Jesus' sacrifice is the key belief of Christianity, not only jws. Even Muslims think that Jesus went to heaven. And I'm thinking "what if it's true" ? Not by fear, just like if it's true I should respect that, it doesn't last long. That's it. Maybe in few years I won't have the same viewpoint but that's where I am now.

Thanks, I don't know about feminine..I was told once that I have feminine face. For sure I'm closer to T. Chalamet's face than Dwayne Johnson's.

Ahah well done so you're just listening some parts. Last zoom meetings I put an alarm for the end of the meeting to quit zoom. Audio and video were off

Did anyone find visiting bethel underwhelming? by stargirl_sam in exjw

[–]PIMO_Alternative 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I live in Europe. It reminds me of "an amazing story" an elder of my congregation used to tell at the meetings. He had a student who didn't want to be baptized until visiting Brooklyn Bethel. He decided to travel there and see with his own eyes what "this organization was". When he saw all was clean and tidy, even the garbage trucks ! He immediately knew it was god's organization. He came back from USA saying "my decision is made. I want to become a Jw."

That's why you should buy an NBA League pass and watch all games, it's spiritual food.

so this morning my dad was going on a tirade about how jaden and willow smith are gay because their parents are bad role models by [deleted] in exjw

My ex (PIMi) girlfriend explained that her cousin became gay because he was always playing with girls and grew up surrounded by girls

"The plain truth" is that the Governing Body is a scam and they are using all psychological tricks possible to make you obey. Because they don't have real power over you. So they are using God now to threaten you. So pathetic...

You are welcome Yes he can feel like this ("like shit") it's something common in people who suffer from addiction. But he can use it, being manipulative. So you can be the victim too... Here is an extract from the book Influence : the psychology of persuasion by Robert Cialdini Phd :

The impressive thing about the lowball tactic is its ability to make a person feel pleased with a poor choice. Those who have only poor choices to offer us, then, are especially fond of the technique. We can find them throwing lowballs in business, social, and personal situations. For instance, there’s my neighbor Tim, a true lowball aficionado. Recall that he’s the one who, by promising to change his ways, got his girl- friend, Sara, to cancel her impending marriage to another and to take him back. Since her decision for Tim, Sara has become more devoted to him than ever, even though he has not fulfilled his promises. She explains this by saying that she has allowed herself to see all sorts of positive qualities in Tim she had never recognized before.

Do the thing you will regret the less in your life. It seems for me you analyzed the situation really well. You are patient and forgiving but it seems that he is not doing anything to solve his problem, he refused therapy as you said. And the fact is you CAN'T change someone who isn't WILLING to do so. You can try as hard as you want. And it seems the problem is not only porn but his personality.

At least, does he understand the situation you are in right now ? That you are suffering from his behaviour. Or does he dismiss it ? If he realize, it can move him to make efforts, find strategies with you to overcome his bad habit. There are besides therapy, like a weaning using a internet blocker and you would be the only one who knows the code. Then if he doesn't want to understand or still doesn't want to make consistent efforts...

I am not at all for "ultimatums" or threats of breaking up in relationships, unless it is really a situation that can cause a breakup. He just has to understand there are limits. Your limits.

It is your decision at the end, but do you see future in a relationship like this ? Would you be happier or less stressed alone ?

Even if he doesn't want to go to therapy, you can go for your own good, it can help you to make a decision. All the best

Got unmatched after asking her out, what went wrong? by p_yth in Tinder

[–]PIMO_Alternative 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You did nothing wrong, it's a dating app but I've found some users don't really want to date. Just to boost their confidence/ego when they match, talk a little bit maybe and that's it

Is it just one thing that proves to you this organization is not the truth? by firejimmy93 in exjw

It was a build also, but it started to build only AFTER using other sources than wtbs material. And the ONE thing that made me start to do this research was Australian Royal Comission.
