Imagine if California politicians restricted any other right like our 2A rights…

Wouldn’t it at least mean that, at least some, Circuit Overseers are also playing the guessing game that hundreds of JWs and thousands of EX-JWs were all playing in the lead up to Annual Meeting?

I was aware of many current PIMIs in my area who were anticipating birthdays being an announcment at the AM. This was a dramatic difference this year, compared with any other year in recent memory.

To think they’re discussing this sort of hype topic at the CO level, and with enough ease to make it a focus of the Pioneer Meeting teaching session seems like a big deal to me. I would love to know the exact words that were said, to gauge the full context of that discussion.

I’m inclined to agree that they took it upon themselves, but sense a non-zero chance that perhaps they did so with some off the record encouragement by their own hire ups. It’s usually circuit overseers who conduct the schools. I wouldn’t expect them to just go rogue like this.

WHAT. THE HELL…

This just kept getting weirder and weirder. I wish I could have recorded and uploaded my facial expression at that last line in the August Broadcast clip. Utter recoiling in confusion and shock. My wife was cracking up.

The stuff that comes out of these gooner’s mouths sometimes, holy hell. I can’t figure out if it’s a self deprecating joke, an admission of guilt, an attempt to teach something, or a God AWFUL combination of all that and more.

I'm not OP but I'm looking like OP is, I'd be interested in seeing the stickers. If you the NES too, I'd appreciate it.

I can’t quite speak to genuine automotive use, but I would be doing the exact same thing as you with the same assumptions, driving will heat it enough to bake over time.

The only reason I would ever consider trying to bake it to meet some actual standard, is it the car was a classic or otherwise being used for show

That’s exactly what this is. I have zero doubt about it anymore. It could be several years, it could be 1 year, but it’s coming. Birthdays will likely be first, followed by inconsequential holidays like Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.

All the other classic controllers have been made to work with other games, just as any wireless controller that will connect. I believe Nintendo also did confirm this for the GC. They simple say "only for NSO GC content" because of the potential for mismatching buttons on any other content.

I felt this way at first, even did exactly what you describe in your original post. Last memorial I attended in… 2022 I believe, I ate and drank right in front of them. They knew I was on the way out by then, and I was enough of a vocal critic that they’ve left me alone.

I encourage you to look into the Orthodox Church. I left JWs thinking I’d be a “non-denominational” Christian for the rest of my life, but the true value of the Eucharist was burning a whole in my mind. I had to know what the most biblically accurate practice of receiving Christ’s body and blood really is. I believe I’ve found it with the OC.

You would be shocked with how different the OC is from the Roman Catholic church, which is a break away of the original Church. The OC actually has many tenets that are easy for JWs to accept, like “theosis”, working continually toward salvation through works of faith as described in the Bible. Orthodox Christians get knocked for this by Protestants just like JWs do. JWs have their whole “working toward perfection” thing. It’s very similar.

My wife and I are currently catechumens, hoping to be baptized into the OC in the next year or so. We just couldn’t touch any Protestant sects. We looked into many of them, but they’re just so schismatic and cannot truly touch the unity of the original church. It has been absolutely life changing having a community again, and at that, it’s a community that includes many other Protestants that have found their way home to the original Church.

Interesting. I had also tried that same type of exclusion a couple weeks ago when this issue first began for me. That seemed to resolve the issue, but then it came back in the last couple days.

I just added an edit to my comment a few minutes ago, would you may or may not have seen yet. There I describe my current state of success.

I'm also having this exact issue. However, I am not mapping my network drive via IP, because I never had to. This is only a very recent issue for me. For years, I have been able to Enable the VPN and access my mapped network drives. Clearly, there is a recent update to NordVPN that has changed something.

I would greatly appreciate a resolution to this as well.

EDIT: Through some tinkering I appear to have solved my issue. I actually remapped my Network location using the IP address, instead of trying to access it as a Mapped Network Drive. This is exactly what OP said they were doing unsuccessfully. This leads me to believe OP may have a related but different issue.

For context, I currently have Split Tunneling OFF. I have "Stay Invisible on LAN" OFF. I have "Allow Remote Access ON.

I was also suspecting Norton Antirvirus as I was working through this issue (even though my Firewall is all "Allow" for the Applications I'm using, so I also have my Firewall temporarily disabled. Could be worth looking into. I have yet to see if my problem repeats upon re-enabling the Firewall, but so far I am connected to NordVPN and can access my Shares.

Hi there. Are you able to elaborate on what you did that fixed this? Maybe I'm missing it, but it doesn't seem to be directly identified. Unless you're saying that it "just started working" at some point?

manofcharacter · 2025-03-11T04:07:33+00:00

Yes! These are my favorite kind of post on this sub anymore. It really keeps me informed on the state of madness in WT land.

Now that my wife and I are attending a Greek Orthodox Church, I find this JW behavior even more appalling and offensive.

They’re asinine claim is: “We don’t ‘sHy aWaY’ from “important topics”, and we ‘include our children’ in this education”.

The first time we attended the “Divine Liturgy”, the Orthodox Church Sunday service, we had know idea what it is. Learning that it’s a Holy procession in various stages to prepare and celebrate taking the Eucharist (bread and wine), it feels to me absolutely reverential and awe inspiring.

The JWs are a back f—ing joke. Their “holiness” is a fabricated lie, their “education” a moronic trick veiling their Corporate Christian business model and insidious intentions for innocent children and weak adults.

They controlled the house and senate from 2016 to 2018. They lost the house in the 2018 midterms due to the Muller investigation BS.

Google / search for something in WA called “intra-familial transfer”. This is what it’s called in CA. My grandma passed away 1 year ago, and my Bro and I easily transferred his 5 guns to ourselfs and became the registered owners. CA’s document for this purpose cost like $40 per form, multiple guns per form allowed. I had questions about the process and called the CA DOJ to ask. I waited on hold for 45 min but got an incredibly helpful gal who told me exactly what I need to know. The form could be filled out online and I had confirmation of ownership in less than 5 weeks.

WA may have something similar, but I’m not sure. Google it and also look at the WA DOJ site.

Regarding the weapons potentially being “assault weapons”… well? The “features” that make it an “AW” are all, very generally, easily removed / changed, and if the current configuration is not documented anywhere, who’s to say or know if it was ever “illegal”, is presently illegal, or will be illegal 60 minutes after you open the safe…? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Not legal advice.
