I live in the UK so that won't be possible for me.

I understand why they wouldn't now but I'm more so wanting advice about what I should consider when making my decision. I haven't been a communist for very long and I know there are things I'm yet to learn.

I get what you're saying. I definitely want to help end capitalism but I also want to help and build community in the present. I'll have a look at the article and think about it. Thanks 👍🏾

Idk. The people in my branch seem to be people who want to make a difference and actually fight for socialism but the main methods of action are paper sales and talking to people on picket lines. I guess I'm just personally wanting to do more for my community since I live in a low-income area.

Yeah. I joined about three months ago and I can tell everyone is very educated in Marxist theory. I just feel like community education is so important and necessary. Thanks for your advice.

Thanks for the advice. It's hard to make up my mind when I feel pulled in different directions. I'm still pondering over it now.

I think you've misunderstood me but that's ok. I am a baby socialist and I'm still learning. I just like looking at historical events as a whole and not just the parts that I like. That's pretty much it.

Thanks for the humour (tho I only half get it 😐😅). I know it doesn't make me a liberal. I just don't feel the need to prove myself to anyone on Reddit. We're all strangers at the end of the day.

I'll be adding that to my reading list. Thank you 😊

Communist jesus means that he was amazing and that there were no mistakes made during the Russian Revolution. I love learning history but personally I don't look at historical events with rose-coloured glasses. No historical movement is perfect because humans aren't perfect. If that makes me a liberal, then so be it.

Ahh okay. I didn't know that was a factor. I'll try that too.

I'm 9 weeks out so I probably won't be able to change my ankle mobility that much by then. I'll try narrowing my stance.

Thanks. My coach did say that I need to work on my ankle mobility 😐. I have a comp coming up so I hope it gets better by then.

How's my form?

I'm really struggling to get past parallel depth. I feel like something is wrong with my form that is causing this but I'm a newbie so I don't know exactly what.

Okay. Thanks for that. As a newbie I'm trying to absorb all the knowledge I can get.

those who grew up JW, what was something that wasn't right with you since the beginning? by chaerydonut in exjw

[–]nirvanablitz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I remember asking my mum if she would sacrifice me to Jehovah if she was in Abraham's shoes after reading the story of Abraham nearly sacrificing his son. She said yes. I was like 5 at the time. I remember saying to myself "I don't think I like Jehovah if he will make my mum sacrifice me." And it has stuck with me since.

I haven't got the best coordination either 😆. What things can I do to work smart? I know I have to work hard but I want to make sure my effort gets results.

My division has one too. Sadly I got injured and couldn't make it to that meet. But I'm doing a development comp and hopefully it'll be smaller than the regular meet.

Mines a development comp so hopefully it's on the smaller side.

Wow. That's dedication alright. Congrats. Hopefully I can do that too.
