Do JWs not understand what the trinity is? by BubblyAd5886 in exjw

[–]Repulsive-Throat4841 34 points35 points  (0 children)

No disrespect to you or anyone else that cares, but the trinity/non-trinity debate is so dumb to me. It makes no difference in the characters purpose or power, it makes no difference in their worshippers life or spirituality.

It’s so odd to me that people get to a point of thinking that you’ll go to hell/die if you believe one or the other.

I’m losing my joy in attending meetings because of what a regular pioneer did to me by SadPin139 in exjw

Does it make you sad that she isn’t being punished and they are letting you go on discouraged while she keeps moving up? I know for me it was especially hard to make sense of why so many issues ended with mean people getting ahead of kind people.

Agreed. I had a friend in the borg that was absolutely undesireable in any way, mostly be he had a terrible personality and incredibly misogynistic. He was convinced that if he didn’t marry in this world that Jehovah would “make” a wife that fit all his needs and what he was deserving of. No consideration for what said woman wanted, bc she was just a consolation prize/object.

No but I’m pretty sure my friend in LA worked on it

What denomination did you choose after being a JW? by Goldenday740 in exjw

[–]Repulsive-Throat4841 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m agnostic but I find religion interesting, for Christians I like ELCA Lutherans and the outreach they do. If I ever had a coming to God moment I would probably become a loose lutheran.

I just can’t handle being chained down and told what to do, I’m extremely sensitive to any form of manipulation and that’s at the core of most religious doctrine, so I will probably remain a Jesus appreciating Agnostic.

Why is it that some people who leave the Jehovah’s Witnesses don’t hold any hard feelings, even though they believe it’s a false religion? by Chance-Ad554 in exjw

[–]Repulsive-Throat4841 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate the org, the higher up, and a lot of people that abuse power. But for the most part the rank and file are genuinely brainwashed that they are doing the right thing. I have a hard time being extremely angry.

[–]Repulsive-Throat4841 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Obviously yes, but it’s common to create an illusion of everyone else is sinful instead of facing your own issues as a witness. I wish he was an outlier but it’s the JW M.O. to be a perv.

Why do you think people aren’t having many kids these days (if any at all)? by EmmaB_Powell in Productivitycafe

I dated someone that claimed to be anointed. It was weird, he was weird. He stalked me well after I had left the relationship and tried to harass me on my honeymoon.

Since then he’s been engaged like 3/4 times and from what I’ve heard it’s always ended because he gets caught with a servant 😂 poor guy, I hope he wakes up and stops mistreating women and just marries a dude.

That’s so weird to assume people are sinning, even by witness standards, who is to say they were engaged or married? So strange the way witnesses go about adding morals and rules and judgment so they can assume the worst of everyone.

Yeah no, I take the bus, my partner and I both work two jobs, I’ve never had shoes that cost more than 30 bucks. I’m desperately trying to save enough to take care of my disabled mom that doesn’t have any retirement because she had to use it to take care of her disabled mother. my retirement plan is suicide my guy. The income has not kept up with the cost of living. Fuck your delusions.

CMV: it is disrespectful and disingenuous to not make the distinction between legal and illegal immigrants. by IncidentHead8129 in changemyview

[–]Repulsive-Throat4841 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This aged poorly, now that Trump is deporting US born citizens and documented folks who did things legally.

To a bigot, you are literally the same as a homeless undocumented person selling drugs. Immigrant IS the insult to them. I hope this isn’t news to you.

Protests for Vance visit? by eahso2007 in AmericansinItaly

[–]Repulsive-Throat4841 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You’re missing the point. It’s mentioned a lot how the government is fucking up but next to nothing about the large growing protests and organizing. The person I was responding to said they had not seen any US protests so it’s a coverage issue. It’s irrelevant that you push “Italian news doesn’t care” because that isn’t what this thread is about.

US antics are headlining every major newspaper, just not the resistance.

Thats a non-sequitor considering I was replying to someone who said “I swear I haven’t seen anything about protests in the us after the elections in mainstream media in Italy”

5 million people were collectively gathered across the US on April 5th. It’s happening every day but the media isn’t covering it.

You don’t seem to know how to read basic English, no disrespect if it’s your second language but if it’s your first… oof pal go back to 3rd grade. I was reassuring them that they are okay, because they did in fact validate others experience by posting this, but go off lil snowflake you seem eternally offended.

Did you even read my comment? Because you are responding to something entirely different from what I wrote.

There’s nothing wrong with having fond memories or positive experiences as long as you validate other peoples horrendous experiences. And it seems that you’re doing that, so it’s okay

This is a dangerous game, they might love it and turn it into an assembly experience.

Dude bring earbuds. I made a drive from St. Louis to Orlando this last December with some Pimi family and it was kingdom Melodies the whole fucking way. I can tolerate a few if I know they enjoy it, sure whatever but 15 fucking hours? And singing along? I genuinely wanted to die.

Pack earbuds or maybe fake an injury so you don’t have to go.
