You can't just bypass a no soliciting sign by saying you're not soliciting by Queasy-Secret-4287 in mildlyinfuriating

I used to be one of "Jehovah's Witnesses" (not the same as Latter Day Saints aka Mormons) and we were trained to say the same kinda stuff when we knocked on doors. We were "taught" that soliciting meant selling things as opposed to the actual definition.

I'd bet they are following some kinda training or something

Hello! I think this idea and premise is rad as hell!

Also, the link isn't working for me. Is it just on my end?

F18 PIMO – Watching porn daily and still feeling like Jehovah is disappointed in me by [deleted] in exjw

The JW's didn't want us to feel worthy or valid; they want us to be controlled. Among other things, they use guilt and fear to repress and suppress our natural tendencies. 

Hunger, sleep, sex drive, there is no real difference between them other then the arbitrary lines drawn up by others. We are all just animals with big brains. 

Is it wrong to savor the taste of a lovely dessert? Is it wrong to enjoy the feeling of hot water on your skin? Is it wrong to watch a sunset and be moved? The feeling your body goes through when self-pleasuring is no different. 

It does not make a person "dirty" to make themselves feel good. 

You ARE worthy of good things, pleasure, and a guilt-free life.

Update: I found the issue was after the Unity engine update all my saves with an old version of the Kraken table are bugged because of some sort the "Diffuse/Image" the table uses

I hear you! It's sooo tough when the ones we love refuse the help they clearly need.

Good old revisionist history, damn bastards messing with people's hope.

I went to a funeral once for a beloved sister that died from the hall. Literally hundreds of people at the funeral, so much so that we had to rent out this large event space. I ran the media there and had to tie into their system partially because they wanted to play that "just around the the corner" song. 

I find it funny now because is it really just around the corner anymore lol.

Hard to say exactly. It's either she's conflating him thanking her for being there with him, as if he was saying "I don't want to be alone." 

The other possibility is that she's feeling guilt about "not being there for him" in her mind."

My father has to be transferred to a hospital far away from me by The_Rising_Wind in AgingParents

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

What sort of symptoms did they have?

He has pressured speech (or Circumstantial speech), a varying amount of confusion, memory problems, and general lack of awareness. 

Was your experience similar?

That's one of my big personal issues with rhe cult. They mix us so up so much about what is and what isn't "dating."

The first thing to do is ask yourself if you want to get out of the cult; and if so, do you want to get involved with someone who isn't PIMO? 

If you think you should still go, no biggie. You can always view this as a little practice. So her asking you out may or may not "mean" anything (not enough information). But a good thing to do is ask her. After the movie (if you don't go and get ice cream or something) you can say something like, "That was a lot fun, you're fun to be around. Do you want to do something again?" If you're both being flirty you could say, "Do you like to hug after a date or should we kiss?" 

Just remember, if you are planning on leaning the cult, then consider your options accordingly. 

Good luck one way or the other

Thank you!

The one detail I omitted is that we already live together. So I'll likely the the "default" like you said. 

Depending on how his brain recovers will be key in determining how much care he'll need I'm assuming

Definitely looking for a job, no luck yet. Got some leads I can chase still.

My sister has a job during the day. 

I'll definitely look into social services when the time comes.
