Immidiate regret. Third rule broken, namely: passion rules reason

i chose world events as a topic because it was the only one that seemed fitting enough.

i left work early (if you can call 445-3 early) so i could get some shopping done, fill up, grab a scratcher for the wife and be on my way home.

after i filled the tank i strolled into the tiny room of the gas station, to find myself behind an argument just started.

thursday while i was at work, a new elder stopped by the house (almost 3 years after fading) to encourage us to go back to meetings.

said everyone misses us.

if you did, why not stop by and say hi every now and then?

is there any new music or singers whatsoever nowadays or just junk?

and how about movies, besides documentaries is there anything at all, any movie at all, any new actor at all that that has any real worth to watch and enjoy or is it all a boring waste of time.

our family was always a topic on a local needs talk.

but it was funny when the brothers needed money they would come with their hands out.

this is when we lived in the states.

TV and the Media

i look at tv and the media as all fiction.. i wonder if the media is now just a tool to cauterise the brain and zombify us?

i'm sure the uk's bbc does.

it seems to be a tool to brainwash people to buy into latest agenda or trend that must be followed.....or you're an outcast like a disfellowshipped one.

vienne:.

from time to time we do this vienne.

if grandpa wrote something that sounded uncomfortable or was too harsh, then you just let old grandpa apologize right up front with no questions asked.

This is how desperate they are

so, back in the day, when you had an 'unruly child' and/or family members, your privileges were removed pretty much instantly right?

my entire childhood i had to hear about how me being bad in the hall or someone telling the elders about what's happening at our home, that's making it so my stepfather never gets or keeps appointments.

so always be good, don't tell anyone anything, so the men can become servants and elders and the women pioneers.. so i hear this about an elder family that pretty much broke apart.

hello, i'm new here and have woken up to the real truth concerning the org.

i'm sort of fading away at the moment.... i need help with something, i used to as a child celebrate christmas and have always had amazing memories of it (my husband hasn't as he was born into the org) but i gave it up when i learnt the "truth".

my interest was only in pleasing god and still is.

so my in-laws actually went out to dinner with us today.

normally, since leaving in 2016, they wouldn’t eat with us or talk much to me.

(since i did convince their daughter to leave the cult).
