The infamous WT article "Why Has God Been So Patient?"
by days of future passed ini went to my sister's house because she was cleaning out the garage and she thought i must have tons of stuff left there.
i didn't but there was a box of unplaced mags in one.
i pulled out one when i got home and it was this one.. i'm sure that if i had read it when it came out, i would have felt that the wt had feelings of sadness over these children.

I'm sure that if I had read it when it came out, I would have felt that the WT had feelings of sadness over these children. But reading it now, I can only think that the WT had received letters and calls about this famine and the people starving and how could God let this continue? from sincere witnesses - and they cold heartedly turned this article into something they could trump any talk against God's ways. Whether from JW's or any who were on their way out.
It's infuriating to read. From the WT Oct. 1 1991
Look at the downcast face of a starving child. See his emaciated frame and bloated belly. Think about his desperate need for food, and observe the empty bowl he carries. Perhaps his mother looks on through sunken eyes, her own face a grim picture of hopelessness. Then try to suppress your sorrow - yes, and fight back your tears.
Is there any mention of actually helping them? No. Just statistics about how many are affected. Then a speech about how man has ruined the planet. But wait - they ask at the end Does God really care about us?
God Does Care!
You know what they use as evidence? Bees.
The article after this is about how God was patient in Noah's day.
"..Throughout history, individuals or groups have seized power, one after another, dominating and exploiting other humans. Jehovah God has patiently endured this. Jehovah has been patient while governments sent millions to their deaths in war and allowed gross economic injustices. Today he is still exercising patience as men destroy the ozone layer and pollute the atmosphere and the sea. How it must pain him to see the ruin of good productive land the wanton destruction of forests and wildlife! (I guess people having diseases and suffering old age don't make the list)
Do you know what they use as a comparison for why God is patient in this case? An employee who is always late and what a business owner would do.
Why didn't God destroy wicked mankind earlier - he was waiting on Noah to build an ark. Oh and of course warn the others. Until then, more murders and violence.
Why God Is Patient Now
Why then, has God not long since destroyed ungodly men? Because there have been issues to settle and important matters to arrange.
So sorry to all of those that are suffering famine, wars etc. God has important matters to arrange and it's taken him a couple of days to do it.

Kids With A Card
by days of future passed ini've taken up doordashing to make some extra cash to pay for my hobbies and other things.
you are a food delivery person at the mercy of a crappy app and google which can be stressful.
the plus side is tips and people who are usually happy to see you.. but it wasn't long into this gig, that i became acquainted with a certain kind of customer.

It's a mixed bag with the restaurants. There are some I try to avoid because they are always busy and depending on who is completing orders, your wait stay can be over 20 mins - that is almost one job you lose because of it.
The people who own doordash make it tough to be on time because they only allow a slim margin of time. There is also the rating system. Only a few people have to give you negative reviews to drop you to the point you are no longer considered a Top Dasher. That means you get less of a chance at a higher payout.
I've gotten the negative reviews because I accepted two orders at a time and something gets messed up. Either the app or the restaurant taking too long.
That's pretty much what happens on a regular basis.
But the majority of dashers that I've met are really nice. The people you deliver to, are nice for the most part. The one's with kids are the most grateful. My favorite was a long drop off for very little and I was feeling grumpy and they didn't have a light on in their expensive neighborhood. Just as I got out to try to find it, I saw a man walking up his path and the light in the house turned on. In the large picture window, were the silhouettes of children jumping up and down on the couch because their hamburgers were there. I had to laugh.

Serious question!
by ZindagiNaMilegiDobaara inhow would you answer:.
how can you change or improve an individuals dominant mental attitude?.

Unless they experience a downside to their mental attitude and they see a gain in changing - won't happen.
My sister is good example. I realize that nothing will change her now. She get's too many pluses for her manipulative behaviors that she can't stop. That's why there are burdensome laws - trying to force these people to do what is right.

But it wasn't long into this gig, that I became acquainted with a certain kind of customer. I had an order at Mel's old fashioned diner for some chicken waffles etc. and the person who had ordered was a Jean-Luc. The first thing that came to mind was the captain of the starship cruiser, The Enterprise. As I drove down a dead end street at night, I saw a flashlight at the end, slowly circling around. It was a kid about 13 or so and he was on the street flagging me down. "Jean-Luc?" I asked. Yes he said and took the food off to the house. It suddenly occurred to me, that he most likely had ordered the food secretly and so had come out so his parents didn't know.
After that, I've had several more KWAC.
- Fries and a drink from Chick fil-a with a $6 charge to another 13 year old girl who met me in the apartment parking lot
- 2 sides of expensive organic mashed potatoes to a teenager outside the his house
- Expensive one drink orders (like that pearl drink) that cost $6 or more to deliver. Waiting at the door with their phone app tracking me so they know when to intercept.
There has been a few more like that. There has also been a few times where the kid has been caught.
- Wingstop order delivered to the poorer side of town and accepted by a kid in the house. When I turned around, there was a lean, shaven headed latino man staring at me. "What are you doing here?" he said suspiciously. "I'm delivering food" I said (I'm female by the way and no spring chicken) He slowly nodded his head and said "Oh I didn't know they ordered lunch" Needless to say, I left quickly.
- 2 big pizzas and some pasta delivered to a house where I had to knock a few times before a young kid opened the door. Too bad he was slow on opening because the adults were in the back barbecuing. A man said What's that? The boy who had opened the door, quickly closed it. I delivered the food and then later got a text saying that they hadn't ordered pizza. Well I'm sure they figured it out because I got my delivery money.
The latest one was a little different. A $2 order that I accidently accepted. As I drive up to an expensive house, I see there are instructions "Leave on the porch" Before I can get out, another text message says Just leave on porch. Ok I reply. "Don't knock or call or make noise ok?" is the next text. As I go up the steps I hear lots of people in the front room. So it's not because there are dogs or a kid asleep (which is often why some don't want you to knock) So I leave it and go.
Obviously a kid with a card.

Although I haven't gone to other churches, I would say if you want a more supportive and loving religion, don't join this one.
For all the talk of love, I grew up in this religion feeling unloved. They say God loves you but....... and somehow, you are made to feel like you are never good enough. Especially if you are female.
The newest trend with this religion is:
Give us your money
Shun anyone that isn't a 100% for us
Everyone who isn't one us - is wicked and bad and will die at Armageddon so stay away from those that don't go to the kingdom hall (actually that is what they have always said)

JWs need their safe space (recent WT quote)
by neat blue dog inwhen people complain of being victimized by god's organization, it's actually you, faithful jw, who are the victim, because you're forced to hear it!
don't worry, just go to your safe space, put on the industrial sized headphones that special kids use and repeat calming mantras to yourself .
.. we may be disturbed by false stories that opposers spread about us.

The urgent, lifesaving work of Jehovah's witnesses......hardly!!
by RayoFlight2014 insince june 2016 i have kept a journal of my encounters with jehovah's witnesses at my door or in my street.

I remember stockpiling incidents that pointed to the worsening of the world. Every negative action by politicians and world leaders. And if there were positive things like breakthroughs in medicine or humanitarian efforts - you only had to repeat the WT's phrase "they are just rearranging the chairs on the Titanic" to know how futile they were.
After being out for a few years, I only had to listen to the jw at work nodding and talking in a conspirator tone about "how bad the world is" to really see how well the WT has convinced people that it's true.
The only thing about the present world that is really scary, is that the whole world can go up in radioactive dust from a deluded ruler.
