  How do you find reddit

  by joe134cd in

  just curious but how do the people off this forum find reddit.

  for myself i find reddit to be sadly lacking in the jw world.

  i just don't find the depth there e.g one sentence replies, trying to be funny.

  @hothabanero Why do so many people take issue with John Cedars? A lot of activists seem to detest him. Is it the atheism thing? Or the fact that he's against the Russia ban? Shed some light, please.

  @LickingMyWounds But the organization members already are in a reality show. It's called Big Brother.

  The forgotten victims in Job

  by Saltheart Foamfollower in

  after todays watchtower, i realised that there was a detail which i'd never noticed before.

  sometimes job's children are mentioned, but how many have noticed that job's servants were also killed.

  they didn't even have a quantity assigned to them - just treated like property.

  @stuckinarut2 LMFAO, that video is incredible. Best bit was the last part of the end credits: "Sweet, sweet love made to your mother by DarkMatter2525".

  I know my mother. And the joke would be on DarkMatter2525.

  I'm really sorry about your fiancé's passing. This is really sad news and something you should be able to lean on your family for while you grieve. Her behavior is not consistent with a mother who values her son's recovery and happiness above her own comfort and image. Shame on her.

  We are here for you, @LickingMyWounds.

  @My Name is of No Consequence Sadly, yes. Probably the most chipper I'd ever been at a meeting.

  I wish I had not gone to the meeting last night

  the first thing i saw when i went in was the two video screens having the watchtower singers chorus doing a number.

  the sound wasn't up enough to make out the song, but the video was grotesque.

  the singers were swaying to the music, all independent of each other, no discipline, actually sloppy-looking.

  @Sanchy It was THOSE bunker videos that woke me up with a jolt. Had the panic attack of my life at that Remain Loyal circus and broke down from the content streamed there. Can't believe they're still running with that bunker theme almost a year later. Must have worked on the sleeping masses.

  That woman would SO be filing for divorce if they weren't JWs. That asshole sounds like an insecure prick to be so petty about asserting his masculinity and dominance.

  Has anyone else recently been contacted by a once close JW friend or relative? Could this be a new JW tactic?

  hmmmm...yesterday my long life friend called my landline after many years of silence.

  now the shock has subsided, i am wondering if i can forgive and forget the fact she chose not to keep in touch throughout a time in my life which was very stressful.

  sadly, i gathered that she is still involved with jehovah’s witness faith.

  @stuckinarut2 Yep! I'm feeling very pressured and "watched" by Witnesses. As recently as today, I had another sister contact me to say "Try and get to all three convention days please? Ask your mom to have [son's name] so you can soak in the encouragement!?"

  I replied, "I've already done all three days : )." The John Cedars rebuttal counts, right?

  She wrote back, "Great. Pray please to not isolate yourself of seek out worldly people to befriend ... Satan wants your life! Jehovah promises to give you the real life if we can be patient!!"

  I'm not waiting for a satisfying life to live after I've died. This IS the real life. WAKE UP. Of course, I didn't say that. Sheesh, though. I assured her I'm alive/doing well. Things are great, just taking time to myself (absence from the meetings). And I get that frantic "SATAN WANTS YOUR LIIIIFFFEEEE" message. For f*ck's sake.
