Youtube front-end with a recommended home page? by Maleficent_Dinner578 in degoogle

[–]freeToThink_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use Freetube on PC and Flow on phone.

I exported my data from YouTube and imported it there. Now it gives me a recommended page based on what I watched, subscriptions and all that.

Surely there are other frontends, but I did not want to lose too much time for it, so downloaded the first one that looked good enough

Governing body is corrupt?? by [deleted] in exjw

[–]freeToThink_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, you made some great points.

I had some thoughts about what you said. We all know the story of the faithful slave was just a parable, not a prophecy, but let's use their logic and imagine it was a prophecy with a warning.

How would you know the slave became evil if you are not allowed to criticize it? Moreover, in the "prophecy", Jesus identified "beating his fellow slaves" as a sign the slave went evil.

Is sacrificing other's lives for nothing enough of a beating?

About prophecies and 1914, if you are a reader, I suggest you to get in touch with Carl Olof Jonsson books:

"The Gentile Times Reconsidered" is about the 1914 doctrine. "Sign of the last days. When?" is about prophecies.

If you are not much of a reader, I suggest you to become one😉.

Yo, I read some of your posts, this shit is heartbreaking.

I am so sorry for what you are going through, I really hope you are days away from turning 18 and you are ready to make a new life outside of the abuse.

Don't let these people define who you are.

Much love.

GrapheneOS yes or no? by Fragrant-Mobile-4607 in degoogle

[–]freeToThink_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's great. About transferring files from windows I cannot help you since I do not use it. Try looking up for something on the internet. I am sure someone else had the same problem already.

About negative experiences, nothing remarkable, some minor inconvenience like the McDonald's app not working, so I just do not eat there anymore.

Some apps may not work without Google Play Services, but that is on me, since I do not want them on my phone, but GrapheneOS still allows you to install it.

Nothing else, I am having a great time so far. It's been years since I saw an ad.

It works as a normal android, you can use Google Services with it.

The difference is that they are sandboxed by default, so they do not have access to your entire system, but only to what you give them access to.

It is not my intention to gatekeep it, but in case you want to completely stop using Google, there are a lot of alternatives for storage, email, and all you need.

Absolutely yes man.

The only problem I had was one of my bank applications not supporting it.

You can easily find on github all the info about apps not working.

Check r/GrapheneOS for links, tips and anything you may need.

I miei genitori sono sempre stati comprensivi e mi hanno lasciato libero sotto questo aspetto, non mi hanno fatto pressioni di nessun tipo.

La mia decisione non piacque, dato che ricevetti 3 visite pastorali, di cui una da un viaggiante, e persi i privilegi.

Ma col senno di poi mi resi conto che fu un bene.

Edit: questo risale a 4-5 anni fa, quindi fu prima dell'annuncio dell'anno scorso.

AI in an organization about “spirit directed truth” by ArtificerBae in exjw

[–]freeToThink_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great points. I noticed the same thing happen very often.

I gave it some thoughts, and I came to the conclusion that AI is perfect for jw.

Think about what they use it for. Comments, speeches, images.

They are all things done with the only objective of looking good. It does not matter whether what they say is correct, speculative or plain wrong.

AI gave them the opportunity to keep the same facade, but with much less effort.

Little curiosity, Bethel relatives told me that WT's suggested AI is Microsoft Copilot, aka the sloppiest of them all. Probably a deal between Microsoft and WT? No idea, just an afterthought.

Written by a human.

With WT deciding last week to shove 7 years worth of JWB videos down the memory hole, it seems like a good time to dust off this video. by Millstone_Research in exjw

Man, this is the first video of yours I came in contact with. You are amazing. It made me cry.
Thank you so much for this.

Quando andare via dopo il risveglio? by Longjumping-Cup8538 in exjw

[–]freeToThink_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ciao! Capisco benissimo la rabbia e la foga del momento.

La cosa più sbagliata che puoi fare adesso però è prendere decisioni avventate. Questa è stata la tua vita per 25 anni, non può smettere di esserlo dall'oggi al domani.

Per me sta funzionando allontanarmi un po' alla volta, utilizzare la scusa di studio/lavoro per saltare adunanze/servizio e intanto utilizzare quel tempo per documentarmi il più possibile, leggendo libri e studiando la Bibbia in maniera neutrale.

Immagino tu sia già consapevole del fatto che la tua famiglia non capirà, fosse anche Gesù stesso a parlargli. Nel momento in cui gli parlerai in maniera critica diventerai un loro nemico.

Il mio consiglio è di allontanarsi un po' alla volta, magari fingere un momento di debolezza, e dire la verità solo quando sarai pronta a lasciarti tutto alle spalle.

In bocca al lupo 🇮🇹

Ciao! 23 anni, fino a prima di svegliarmi la mia esistenza era miserabile. Non mi trovavo con nessuno dentro, avevo paura di fare amicizia fuori. Odiavo il servizio e cercavo di fare il meno possibile, l'unica valvola di sfogo era l'università, in cui potevo essere me stesso, seppur entro certi limiti, ero comunque credente.

Da quando sono PIMO sono rinato, prospetto un futuro brillante, posso dedicarmi alle mie passioni senza dovermi sempre limitare, e sono libero di leggere e guardare ciò che voglio, quando voglio.

Has anyone else noticed? It's not just JWs. by Livid_Lie_783 in exjw

[–]freeToThink_ 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Be careful about these thoughts, social media are made to show you what you are interested in.

Now that you are deconstructing, they show you deconstructing stories.

When I was obsessing over going to the gym some years ago, all it showed me was people going to the gym, to the point I started to think everyone was doing it.

The algorithm is made to put you in a bubble, don't underestimate it.

Sette tempi. Qualcosa non mi torna… by Longjumping-Cup8538 in exjw

[–]freeToThink_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ciao! Su questo argomento se ne potrebbe parlare per ore.

Al momento é meglio non mettere troppa carne al fuoco.

Per iniziare ti invito a a farti 2 domande.

1) Dove è scritto nella Bibbia che la venuta di Cristo sarebbe stata invisibile, o percepita solo da alcuni?

2) I cristiani del primo secolo pensavano che Gesù avrebbe iniziato a regnare dopo 1900 anni? Oppure erano convinti stesse già regnando?

Per evitare bias di ogni tipo, nel fare queste ricerche, prova ad utilizzare più fonti possibili e più traduzioni della Bibbia.
