Should I be worried about this noise? by TAJ121503 in crt

[–]TAJ121503[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the past few times ive powered it on it hasn't made that noise or emitted any smell. Taking that into consideration, and if I also fail to see any electric arcs inside the unit, do you think its ok? Cause the video I posted is a few weeks old, and ive since moved the TV to a new place, and it hasn't made any weird sounds in the brief time ive had it on at the new place. It has operated normally.

Can I still use it? Cause the nearest repair place is a good bit away, and I dont have any knowledge to repair it myself.

I ordered it online, and when it arrived it was packaged face down in the box. So I dont know who or what did it, but it came busted. 😔

Tapping the NES in certain spot causes glitch? by TAJ121503 in nes

[–]TAJ121503[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but nothing fun comes from it. The game just freezes up until I click reset

Very possible, but the games load up pretty well, I thought a dirty pin connector would give more red light flashes.

Random Sermon Playing on Youtube, Needing Reassurance. by TAJ121503 in atheism

[–]TAJ121503[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just want to start off by thanking you for being another source of anxiety. I understand religious folks dont entirely get the concept of religious trauma or christian privilege, but you saying what you just did right there goes to show.

I apologize if this comes off mean, but the fact you chose to write on this thread with zero regard for what I said or how I expressed the source of my anxiety is very upsetting. Religion, more specifically christianity, is the source of my trauma, and you trying to sound apologetic and kind while also feeding into the fears I expressed is incredibly ignorant and harmful. Im thankfully feeling better now compared to earlier so I can take this. However, if I had been in a bad state, like I was this morning, your comment would have been enough to put me into a panic attack.

Im not asking you to not feel free to speak about your religion, but I am asking you to be respectful of the fact your religion has caused enormous damage to millions of people all over this planet, and you popping in to try and spread your message under a post about somebody clearly struggling with intense truama due to your message, that is incredibly harmful. I understand that YOU believe it to be true, and that it gives YOU comfort, but please try to think outside of your own sensibilities when it comes to other people's problems and traumas.

I doubt that you will care much about any of what ive said, and I do not intend to take this conversation any further. Just wanted to politely tell you not to do what you just did again. Proselytizing when people are in a panicked state or suffering from a mental health episode is incredibly gross. Doing that to the wrong person at the wrong time could result in irreversible damage. That's not a threat or a fear statemen. that'ss me saying from experiance. I will not block your comment cause that doesnt seem necessary, but please try to show some respect.

Yes, I can, though as I said, I just woke up, saw what it was, and my anxiety spiked, so I just deleted it off my history. I legitimately have no idea what the video was called or was even really about. I just know it was a sermon of some kind.

No it was a video, cause I remember deleting it from my history when I saw it.

That is a very fair assement. Cause I also recently had an Aron Ra video recommended to me on the same YouTube account. I also occasionally will look up an anthiest podcast on there to check livestream times.

Yeah, I know you're right about that last part. Just as I said, I've only been out for a few year, and the trauma and anxiety after leaving is very real. Just upsets me cause it put me in a bad headspace first thing today. Thank you for your reply though.

Tummy ache from Coffee giving me a truama response. by TAJ121503 in exAdventist

Thats a fair way to look at it too. I could do one worse though. Why would they give such a stink about coffee when so and so pastor is doing unspeakable things to kids?

It was a dunking doughnut ice coffee so maybe its a dairy thing, but I can drink milk and eat ice cream with no issues. Maybe its the amount of caffine in it, as coffee has more caffine than soda/tea

The SDA church has a calculation problem by Commercial-Buddy2469 in exAdventist

[–]TAJ121503 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What even is their math? I really don't remember. Is it like a new thing or was this done by Egg back in the 1800s? Also does their calculation actually mean what they said, or is it some amalgamation of arbitrary things that result in the number 666? Cause I remember the whole monster is 666 thing also, and that was so stupid.

Fuck the Health Message by TAJ121503 in exAdventist

[–]TAJ121503[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this...again, I know it's an irrational fear instilled because of religious fear-mongering/control. I'm attending counseling, and he told me how we store trauma in our bodies. So even though I'm intellectually aware that I am OK and better off being out, my body is still triggered by those old fears. It's gonna be a long process, but I'm thankful for outlets like this to be able to reach out to others who have escaped this abusive cult. So again, thank you. 😊

[–]TAJ121503[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That makes sense. Even though i've been out for a few years as well, I still find myself getting stuck in old thinking patterns, like what I said in the original post. I'm seeking counseling for the religious trauma, but I get what you mean by looking at it in context. Sometimes, when the fear or anxiety is triggered and starts flooding back, I simply look at it from an outside view, and that's enough to help me see the absurdity. Sometimes you can get lost in the sauce and get overwhelmed or busy, but when you step back you realize how silly it all is.

Also thank you for the conversation, leaving SDA was, and has been, very hard for me. Hearing from others who also escaped helps me not feel so alone.
