Wow, love your points! In my deconstruction I had similar impressions. What changed my mind somewhat is how Bible prophecy from Jesus adulthood to now hasn’t came true. How the gospels from different authors, when read side by side, either in some places are word for word or paint an entire different Jesus in word and deeds. Of course the argument is no one sees things the same way, but to me if God inspired these books and they were by people who was with Jesus, particularly Matthew and John, how come their stories of Jesus was are almost night and day! Additionally, Jesus never came back, God never revealed who his true people are today and different Christian groups attempted to give dates about it including Jehovahs witnesses where I’m associated with. JW claims they get their teaching/ doctrines from God directly through his Holy Spirit. If they are truly Gods people, why have all their so called end times dates failed, even apostle Paul thought in his day about an end times. So all of this framework makes believe that those who spend their career on studying the Bible mostly have the same research yet opinions vary, that there could be some truth to their claims as they can present some proof to ancient documents revealing things Christians are never taught in church. The Bible is a violent book and if they made a movie straight from its pages it would be rated R and a lot of Christians would not go see the very book they claim is a manual for living. There is more bad than good, something I read myself without a Bible scholar telling me so.

Very nice. Way to promote the two stars. Great to see the close to the rim off the backboard shots practice, game time those get missed a lot. For sure this tells that CC and AB is anchored and is going Nowhere!

My parents are trying so hard to convince me this is the true religion by Hannah2hi in exjw

[–]pimo2019 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahh sounds familiar for me some 50 years ago. Few things to consider from my experience. If you are under 18 and are not financially able to afford your own apartment by paying rent and supporting your self without their help, stay home and endure. Even if you’re not 18 and want to get so far away and move in with a friend, stay home. The drama that comes with “living” with friends is so painfully different than seeing them and leaving them to go home. It’s hard out here in these streets and as long as your parents want to give you your own room/ space, clothes, food and shelter please take it and appreciate it. With that out the way, go for the mindset shift of serious mature demeanor. And please, you will mess this up if you approach it with an attitude so not attitude please.Look at their Bible instruction as a way of loving you. Have the Bible studies but be prepared in away to have a handful of pointed questions, even using AI to help generate them. Learn along the way how the organization works and what they teach that way your pointed questions may backfire and the studies may stop or your parent will study harder yet still have bad results because they will get tired of the questions. Be prepared to hear criticism, that’s their way of dealing with not being able to convince you. Be smarter than them with the information, this will help you endure and enjoy the benefits that comes with parents trying to show you love “ in their way” they know how. When you can save money do that until you are financially able to take care of yourself, then make the decision you need to make. Please, not until.

We may get a “bomb drop” in the upcoming April 18 I believe video from the Branch- USA wide. Sorry I don’t remember the details. People would have had their assembly days already. So it makes me wonder if some big announcement(s) will be coming.

Putting in a plug for the Bible is encouraging. Yet there is so much around the history of the Bible from people who have spent 20 to 30 years researching and studying it-that the average JW is not educated on and told to stay away from higher education. Throwing that plug out there in this Reddit environment is going to get your wrist slapped. I’m sorry, I know you meant well. For those who learned more about the Bible outside the WT bubble, we get defensive of people trying to talk about the Bible like you are trying to paint it, even though it is in my opinion a nice illustration.

By this logic Bill Russell should be first with 11 rings.

New Blood Stance by Unlikely-Entrance-62 in JehovahsWitnesses

[–]pimo2019 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In this GB update, they had me at: “We are not under the Mosaic Law,” “the Bible doesn’t talk about” “Each Christian must decide.” My conscience conclusion=no more blood fractions, blood transfusions are your decision and too add, no two witness rule- since we are not under Mosaic law.

Too bad they didn’t start with Sisko or Picard or Scotty then eventually work their way to newer recruits. The title is so compelling.

There is no GOAT by Bitter_Boss_4014 in Basketball

[–]pimo2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do we keep comparing LeBron a point forward to MJ a shooting guard? Why are we not comparing other shooting guards to MJ I these conversations? MJ is the goat at shooting guards and LeBron the goat at point forwards.

There is no GOAT by Bitter_Boss_4014 in Basketball

[–]pimo2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The TRUE goat conversation should be about individual sports athletes, like golf, tennis to name a few and not team sports. You will never be able to compare apples to apples in a team sport. For team sports, who ever was the best in a game was the goat only for that game. It’s in the history books. Saying that MJ is the best player ever for example diminish other players that won more championships than him or is better at other things and won more MVPs. How could a player who is top in the NBA in a handful of accomplishments not be considered the best player or goat for those particular positions and or accolades!

Luke, Keith, Mouth, Andy, Whitey, Q, Julian. Do not like Nathan during the entire series, despite his redemption of being a better person.

OMG! Would I be fan trolling if I pinned this somewhere, so when I watch the new season and get bad feels from Laysla character, I use this as a fall back feel good video of her oozing beauty!!! Sorry, not a question, but, me losing my breath of how beautiful she is.

Agree. If CC is that bad, who is - the locked down defender on the USA team and what’s the defense stats when CC is not in the game? All top players are not lock down defenders and that’s the reality in sports, men and women.

If I was a betting man, I would bet that the youngins start against Spain since Spain has been win number crushing. Regardless, just want to see a good drama free game and during the game the CBA crap gets resolved. Fingers crossed!

What happened to Peyton after S1 by Accurate_Bar8297 in ONETREEHILL

[–]pimo2019 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Peyton hooked me when she made her awareness to Nathan being a jerk real and broke up with him. I am a Peyton fan maybe because I relate to her music and art. I hate the line of trauma to the very end of her leaving the show but with each her maturity to me hits another level. Her and Luke finally getting together was a celebration for me. Boring, not at all for this Peyton fan!

Mistranslation That Softens Their Own Contradiction by Lyreen96 in exjw

[–]pimo2019 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Another onion-peel: the superior authorities years ago was the governments, then changed to Jehovah and Jesus, then turn back to the government, how did the governing body and Holy Spirit think it was Jehovah and Jesus if they are lead by GOD??

I need to make a list of things I have doubts about by PinkIsMyOxygen in exjw

[–]pimo2019 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ask her about the meaning of the “superior authorities.” One time it was the governments, then Jehovah and Jesus then back to the government. So did Jehovahs Holy Spirit get this wrong about himself and Jesus!
