  • To add to this, a new car in 1938 was $860 according to this, but essential information was left out. What that actually converted to in today’s money $18,709.33 which is a lot less than what I’m paying today but only by about half. I don’t disagree with wanting to get back to this point or better. But the picture seems to assume the reader already knows this?

    Was windows XP the current windows generation or did you pick it for some other reason? I assume it’ll run easier on weak hardware, and until just now never thought about putting it on my laptop as a dual boot for those moments you actually need windows.

    I couldn’t stress enough that you absolutely should not! Consider looking on YouTube as well.

    Their favorite tactic is probably love bombing. We were thoroughly instructed on how to make potential new members feel “welcomed” there are literally mandatory “mid-week” meetings that they used to call the school. It is, literally a school to teach you how to manipulate people into joining. They literally teach you how much of the “truth” they should reveal to new recruits without scaring them off. I guess people are scared off when they know the “truth” which is basically an endless web of lies to try and validate and justify the endless harm they cause people. Mostly by manipulation and “disfellowshipment.” They won’t let you get higher education except when they need it themselves (they paid for some people to go to school and become lawyers to defend them.) And you can’t marry anyone who’s not baptized through their organization. Things like this should really rase red flags for people.

    The things they do now are way more crazy than when I left some years ago. They’re a very dangerous organization. They thoroughly manipulate you. Not to mention that they’re bleeding money from legal problems mostly related to systemic defence and concealment of a whole lot rape, mostly children.

    If anyone reading this is considering joining the JWs first look into these allegations. It’s a very real and serious problem.
