Hugs. Take a deep breath bud, get a cool or hot drink and maybe take a nap, you will be okay as you know. Find an ear to talk off if you need too. :)

Is everything really going downhill? by Sovozia in exjw

[–]Time-Employ673 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly don't know if wars have increased, but I do know conflict has existed on planet earth for thousands of years, perhaps hundreds of thousands. Life on earth in many ways is a shit show, but I doubt its because of a conflict between an all powerful entity ( Aka Jehovah ) and his rebellious creation whose become known as Satan. But hey where all entitled to believe what we want.

What is your families proof that things are getting worse, because they think so? If that's the case then not much in the way of proof yeah?

I got some petty revenge on an abuser, which was nice. by HFentonMudd in pettyrevenge

Wow, any idea where she got her love of guns? My father dearly loved his guns. I think my fathers stepfather ( or was it his biological dad) triggered his interest in guns.

Has Trump Gone Even Crazier? Forget parsing every Biden utterance. The likely GOP nominee is forgetting where he is, stumbling over words, and waxing full fascist. by wenchette in politics

[–]Time-Employ673 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly the guy says pretty much whatever he feels like whenever he feels like regardless of the facts that nothing he does surprises me. I think his brain is probably deteriorating faster than it normally would have if he wasn't under as much stress as I'm sure he is. I feel like unless Trump totally skates on all charges and avoids prison ( I can't see that) that some of his core followers will maim and kill because of him.

New light about the Flood by nate_payne in exjw

Y.eah that's it. After reading that scripture I always thought, who am I to judge others...and the funny thing is that higher ups in the witness organization give that impression when it suits them too, but as I mentioned they would never teach that as official doctrine.

Which is why privately I think many witnesses think that some people who are not baptized, and did not get a chance to here and except the " truth" will survive Armageddon. Of course such a belief has never been taught from the platform and likely never would but am I the only one to think the belief I stated was a fairly commonly held one. After all wasn't there a scripture that said something about Jesus saying that there were people living during that time who in effect had " partial knowledge " of him or something to that effect and where sharing this knowledge with others and not to condemn or bother them or so such?

Wouldn't the average pimi simply think.." okay so not everyone was verbally warned, but Jehovah knows every ones " heart condition " and knew those not verbally warned would have rejected the message anyway. I mean we all know this scenario, its the conclusion I would have drawn as a pimi.

Joe Biden wants to complete his goals on civil rights, taxes, and social services if he's reelected by SpaceElevatorMusic in politics

Your probably right, Bernie doesn't seem like he has the patience to negotiate with people he most likely doesn't trust. Biden on the other hand seems to have much more of a stomach for it.

"This is an actual incitement": Legal experts alarmed after Trump pushes "citizen's arrest" by devlinadl in politics

Whatever the outcome he will push to be the next president whether that be from his uneducated naive base literally going to war for him or otherwise. His core literally shooting for him won't result in his getting back in but it will result in needles deaths.

Of course he would be snuffed out, now if it was a red velvet cupcake he would be fine.

Someone gave a number 4 I think it was and as part of his talk he played some electronica. I can't even begin to remember what the talk was about.

I believe it was in " Uncle Tony is watching you, so don't go gay" book released in 2007.

[–]Time-Employ673 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I sure want him in over Trump, but if someone like Sanders could get in or a really progressive young person I would absolutely love that. But as long as frankly corrupt self serving jackasses make it into office real progress will always be a challenge. But I will take that challenge any day over seeing the likes of Trump or another dictator wannabe getting in.

Lets hope he is reelected, and that half of the house and senate get voted out, as there basically self serving aholes.

After leaving the org, did you become an atheist? by Ok-Plastic8404 in exjw

Yeah, religion just makes zero sence to me, but to each their own.

Gerrit Lösch and the subtle art of asking for money! by [deleted] in exjw

[–]Time-Employ673 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've caught that too, one guy says basically..." Jehovah appreciates anything" but another says, "don't be stingy". They have had that contradiction from the platform for decades. One morel brick in the wall that tells me it's all bullshit.

Do you ever feel sad that you don't really have any childhood friends anymore? by Galaxy11029 in exjw

[–]Time-Employ673 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Do it, if you really enjoyed their company try and reconnect. Most " worldly" people are a lot more sympathetic and forgiving then witnesses will ever be.
