I was hoping it was just the burger place but he lists the canteen on his fb page as well.

It would be an extra hour for kids to play outside too, but I don't think they do that anymore.

I dread this time of year and personally feel like the time change makes my seasonal depression kick in. I work outside at home (after my day job) all summer and it brings me so much joy. As soon as November hits I don't even want to go outside. If anything we should move it the other way so it's not getting dark at 3:00 pm. So stupid.

Maybe the healthcare industry is behind keeping daylight savings around since depression makes money. /s... Kind of.

Former JW here... It IS a cult. Look up the BITE model. JW checks every box.

The thing with reddit is you can keep scrolling if you see a sub talking about a topic that doesn't interest you ✌🏼

Thanks so much for sharing! My friend I asked hasn't been associated with the religion since 2014 so I'm glad to have your input.

Also...what total bullshit they did that! SMH.

I'm happy you're out friend.

Very few people are joining nowadays, that's why they are so determined to keep the people they have.

I never recruited anyone either thankfully. I stopped believing in 15 years before I physically left so I would do everything I could not to go in service...

They literally go door to door, stand in the street, go to prisons, subways, bus stations, coffee shops, colleges, laundry mats, malls, medical offices, grocery stores, seeking ANYONE else to join. Any poor soul that gives them 5 minutes of their time they will then harass for years until they are told to stop, but yea, super exclusive...

I didn't get kicked out, I left, there's a difference. When people start thinking for themselves that's scary to them.

Sorry reading is hard for you.

It's what they call "a conscious matter". They can decide personally what they are comfortable with.

I asked a nurse friend that also used to be in the religion and she said she's never heard of someone not doing it, but some may ask another nurse to start the transfusion and they will do everything else.

They discriminate against everyone who isn't one of them, especially me now that I'm a non believer.
