You have a back door into his world, why close it over so little?
I'd keep that going in case anything better (worse) turns up.
hey everyone.
i'm sorry that this isn't a very thought provoking post but i could really use some advice on how to handle this.
there isn't anyone else in my life i can ask right now because, being dfed, all of my friends are "worldly" and don't know how witnesses function.

sorry but i really feel like i need to rant right now.
recently my dad was made an elder so my family has been doing a lot more "theocratic" activities lately.
every morning i wake up and put on my itchy dress and stupid makeup and heels and then pretend that i love what i'm doing and that everybody is my friend when in reality i feel horrible and all the other teenage girls at my hall hate me for some reason.
Just say Jesus was baptised at 30 so if that was good enough for him....
If you get pressure just say that the more they harp on about it the less inclined you are to do it.
(do not reward poor behaviours)
do i ever learn!
that when they say this is an 'improved' model it never is!.
i downloaded windows 10 and it wiped out my emails and the email account... oh joy.. i have since removed the 10. arrgh!
My only issue with windows 10 is the graphics driver crashing in games etc.
But this seems to have fixed it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lnf6BeviDVc
I had to change TdrDelay to 10 in the end though.

The crowd on reddit tend to be younger so you might want to be on there too.
every drop of breast milk has roughly 1 million white blood cells in it.
so the next time you see a jw drink milk or eating milk with his cereal etc.
you must run over and take it out of his/her hands and then give them a stern warning.
jesus, there's an anti milk crowd too spouting nonsense.
try this link instead: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatic_cell_count
If you tell a JW there's blood cells in milk they just stare at you blankly and change the subject.
part 1 - protein functional redundancy.... part 2 - dna functional redundancy.... imagine you are teacher with suspicions that some of your pupils have been copying from each other.
comparing the correct answers in all of their assignments might not provide conclusive evidence.
they could simply claim they had all carefully revised the same textbooks so it shouldn't be surprising that they all gave the same answers.
If it annoys you so much why are you in this thread and every other one like it reading it and shit stirring?
Maybe it is you who has an agenda here eh?
here in the uk new drinking guidelines have been issued which suggest "no more than 14 units a week - equivalent to six pints of beer or seven glasses of wine.".
another piece of the advice which is getting a lot of attention is that "if people drink, it should be moderately over three or more days and that some days should be alcohol-free.".
already people are making cries of "nanny state!
If it's in the house i'll drink it, if it isnt in the house I don't. :D
I'm too tight to be a heavy drinker thankfully and the very few times i've been drunk in my life i hated it it. I like to be in control.
our families have cut off contact with us for the last several months.
they found out that we were celebrating holidays with our non-witness family.
our families were our last tie to the organization, as our former friends stopped associating with us about 3 years ago.
That is a frickin awesome, beautiful and powerful letter.
I hope it hits home...
i have been lurking on this site for 3 years and this is my fist post.
i would like to thank everyone for helping me wake up.
i was baptized at 24, married at 25, ms for 18 years mentally in for 24 years but started to wake up 3 years ago doing research to give public talks, and the actions of arrogant and narcissistic brothers and sisters did not help.
Live in the City of Light?
Aye, 'twas a wond'rous album to be sure...

my favourite "logical" progression.... we demonstrated that because meaning is non-material, linguistic expressions likewise must be non-material.
we further showed that there is no indication that matter can generate non-material meaning-bearing linguistic expressions.
