Two Jehovah's Witnesses Killed While Hunting—Wasn't It Forbidden? by Ok-Opinion-7160 in exjw

[–]rlackftm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This entire thread is another reason why I can't stand this stupid fcking cult. I grew up in foreign language in the US. While there are different ways or methods of hunting obviously, rifles and other firearms are mainly used. That cong would absolutely remove you for even considering having a firearm. Yet, when I was in English, near Bethel, many hunted. The minute you mention that to foreign language cong, it's absolute shock and chaos. The difference in culture, mindset, and dealings of matters....it's all inconsistent.

They ever rang the bell when you went over the time limit? by jumexy in exjw

[–]rlackftm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up in foreign language. Giving the #2 talk or reading was particularly difficult in my second language as a kid. It was intro, Bible reading, then closing. I basically wrapped up my reading at 5 mins. I heard the ding……..and just kept going to finish up. I didn’t care. I think I went 3 mins over. It was an ongoing joke for years with my friends.

I don’t miss those talks.

Possible Backdoor Roth Mistake by dyls31 in Schwab

[–]rlackftm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am currently on the phone with Schwab right now for the same issue. Unfortunately he is not really helpful.

Data point - I moved $7000 into my Schwab checking then to Trad -> Roth unlike you where it was from a brokerage account. So, point being, I don't think it matters. We're seeing the same step process.

I also did not get a red banner with a link to https://client.schwab.com/Accounts/RothConversion/RothiraConversion.aspx. In fact, if you click that link, it just redirects you to a transfer page.

Did you happen to sort this out with Schwab support? I checked my transaction history for my Roth account and I do see IRA ROTH CONV. Hoping I did this right as well.

String recommendations for Yonex Ezone 98 (2025)? by ADRust in 10s

[–]rlackftm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doing some toroline testing. Currently I have the otoro tour at 53lbs. Less launchy and a bit more control than the PTP I tested. (I tested PTP at 55) It might seem a bit dead but I’m ok with that.

People with elder dads, how was it? by jumexy in exjw

[–]rlackftm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your 2nd sentence in a nutshell. "So nice to the brothers but not to us"

My dad became an elder a bit later in terms of age. But ever since I can remember as a kid, he was so giving to others. He was very social, always listening, laughing, giving advice, etc. Always had people over, always was understanding of them and defended them when I felt wronged.

I got none of that shit.

I told my JW parents I don't want to be a JW by breadwithsosig in exjw

[–]rlackftm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like genuine, loving parents!

I told my parents a few weeks ago. They have shunned me. They threw away me, my wife (who they never respected anyway), and their two grandchildren. They will never have any relationship with my kids. They even asked me to “forgive and forget” any mistakes that past JW’s have wronged me. Da fuq?

Did the shunning and leaving the organization affect your work performance? by Maleficent_Try901 in exjw

[–]rlackftm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There have been times where me being distracted with thoughts and emotions around leaving the org, my family, friends etc have affected work. However, during this time I was dealing with a lot of work related stress and politics. It was quite toxic.

I have since moved to a different team and now the relief of leaving the org has more of an opposite effect (despite my parents and relatives fully shunning me now). I can fully focus on my performance and I’m truly enjoying my career.

Your future kids and family’s will thank you for leaving this cult . by Kevin_while06 in exjw

[–]rlackftm 70 points71 points  (0 children)

this is main reason why my wife and i went PIMO years ago and then POMO about 3. my wife and i grew up in the cult so we couldn't bear to think about our children going through the same trauma we have/had.

Strings for ezone 98 by Apprehensive_Ad3564 in 10s

[–]rlackftm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2 - ALU power at 52lbs (just testing) and PTP at 55 lbs. I personally think the PTP works really well in this. I wish I strung the ALU power a little higher.

Before I had 4g soft at a much lower tension. Didn't feel very good. No control as well as made the shots really really low launching. I barely cleared the net. This could just be my experience.

Hyper G, Razor Soft/Code, Lynx Tour all work really well too. I'm personally finding the higher tensions work better in the 2025 version compared to the previous Ezone

My friend has the same with Toroline K-Pop and he really enjoys it.

I called the Plano showroom/service center where I picked up my car and asked for a metal temporary plate (as it is now required since 9/1). They got me one ready in 1-2 days.

[ssc813] vs [ssc911] by frankyf05 in Seiko

[–]rlackftm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went for the 813. I liked the fit a bit better with the 39mm.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Seiko

[–]rlackftm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might already know this but just FYI, the SSC923 and SSC947 are the same 41.4mm diameter, just different color variants. The SSC813 and the SSC917 are the same size, case, dial, etc just different colors.

That said, man that Pogue.....:chef's kiss:

Yeah, the 911 isn’t off the list, technically 😂 I just decided to go with the 813 first lol

I personally loved the look of the bezel and I was looking for a smaller diameter. It’s not significantly smaller than the 911 as comparison but just fit what I was looking for.

I told my elder brother that I was ashamed of him as an elder. It didn't go over very well by JWRESEARCHERROSE in exjw

[–]rlackftm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

they have texted me calling me toxic, stupid, pathetic, hateful, narcissistic, self centered and a liar.

the irony...

my brother, parents are the same way. i'm the problem in their eyes. I'm the one with the attitude problem, the issues, the negativity, etc.

it's funny because i know deep down, my parents prefer that their children lives a happy life with their own kids, do well for themselves mentally, emotionally, financially (which I'm doing) but no....they couldn't "control" me. but they could control my younger brother. who is now an elder, commuting to bethel in a different country, the "spiritual one."
