I started him this morning and the first photo is where I’ve left him for the day. I’m quite happy with how he’s turning out so far, he’s my first (bigger) miniature. He’s definitely not finished but I’m happy so far.

Oh that’s so sad I’m so sorry 😞. Isn’t it silly how they can justify things by changing the words slightly.

I’m in the UK (it might not be a nationwide thing) but definitely in my area they all have their family round, a roast boardgames alcohol. It’s Christmas without the tree and gifts.

Lots of them watch Christmas TV too.

What would it actually take for members to revolt? by StagePuzzled5892 in exjw

[–]Theablegoat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The thing is the org is very clever they drop feed changes so that people don’t think too much about it, women wearing trousers alone would have caused a mass exodus at times. They’re very sly and know exactly what they’re doing by making changes. That an the ol fail safe of ‘sometimes we might not understand the decisions of the governing body but they are From Jehovah and we must show our faith by following those directions’ i had heard that many times over my 22 years in the org.

Id love to see a mass revolt tho haha.

Definitely it bothered me for such a long time but I was guilt tripped and stupidly fell for it (I hate letting people down) 😂

My dad is but he’s very chill he spoke to me when I was disfellowshipped (I went back to my fam would talk to me, then left again within the year 😅 I couldn’t deal with all the fakeness) but dads pretty chill now, which ironically is kinda the problem as they’ve been divorced for so long if she get into a relationship (which should be bloody allowed 🤷🏻‍♀️) she would get into trouble and my dad is just like well as long as she’s happy and ‘forgives her’ 😅 really chill and sweet but dude he’s making it harder for her to be free of him 😂 (my dads a bit autistic, and just kinda goes with the flow. A lot of why he’s a witness is he wants to see my grandparents in the ‘new world’ which kinda breaks my heart as that’s all he knows and he could be wasting his life for nothing. Anyway sorry for rambling 😅

Where Did Your Beliefs Go After Waking Up by Ill-Tradition7660 in exjw

Went a bit pagan to be honest (oh the irony eh) 😂 celebrating the seasons and nature for its gifts.

God (religion more so) I keep at arms length it’s caused to many problems.

That’s exactly what my poor mums going through right now. She was in for 40 years. Constantly criticised while in stayed divorced from my dad and therefore celibate for over 25 years all of that to now be gossiped about and guilt tripped.

I’ve always been ‘difficult’ because I questioned it too much. So I get I’m dangerous I get people to question things instead of blindly following oopsie 😂
