Aw. I don't think you did anything wrong by taking a picture of them, in a public place, where they didn't expect privacy.

You would need a LOT of gas to cause the explosion you're fearing. I've literally left the gas open on my stove for 30-40 seconds trying to light it (my stove had a faulty lighter for awhile) and the most you'd get is a tiny fireball around the burner. Sounds scary when I say fireball, but I'm honestly talking about something that is no bigger than a standard cooking pot. It's not going to blow up the apartment.

Would you do it again? Was not having tonsil stones worth it ??

It is not a sin my child.

It’s pretty rare and now you know what to avoid!

just this person sit huddled on the ground with pajamas like a little hamster thats all

We always think we have more time and that things will change until we run out of time and realize things won’t change

Pornhub.com automatically pauses the video is the headphones get disconnected. Never worry again.

Bloody fantastic read

Uuuummmm, yea so not a fuck up.

See, sooner or later the kid was probably gonna run away from home anyways. You just gave her a better chance at surviving.

You taught the kids something good. You can't control what they do with that knowledge. Hopefully she won't do anything to cause harm to herself. Even with having survival skills, surviving in nature sucks, especially in winter. I certainly wouldn't want to be cold and alone, even with being able to safely get through it.

> there isnt this person’s face of part of body inside this picture

So...what’s in the picture if not a face or body part? Their essence?

In your defense, most things shrink when it is cold...

Jesus Christ. My TIFU was reading this thread two months before I’m scheduled to get my tonsils out at 38. Omg. I’m terrified now.

Agreed! I'm always worried about causing an explosion or leaving the gas on and killing everyone so I only get electric appliances. Is it an overreaction? Definitely, but whatever lol

If the girl ran away, her parents need to checked up on.

Thank god I live in Australia 😂

You will only have fucked up if you fail to call CPS. A child should not be so afriad of their parents that they run away to sleep outside in the middle of winter. If you care about this kid you need to call the authorities.

It wasn't a euphemism before, but it will be soon.

Not an FU, you did the right thing. Know that

That's what you took away from this??

>They informed me that Jehovah's Witnesses are not allowed to celebrate anything (not birthdays, and certainly not Halloween) in order to not be seen as seeing themselves as higher than God.

This is not why. Any holidays or celebrations not celebrated are because of origins that are in direct conflict with Bible teachings.

​

>Candy was great and what's wrong with that?

No. There is nothing wrong with candy.

​

>They went on to say that Halloween is Satan's birthday, so it's very bad to celebrate it,

No. Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe that Halloween is Satan's birthday. (How would anyone know such a thing? Puh-lease!) Halloween has its roots in the festival of Samhain which is a pagan religious celebration - in complete conflict with Bible-based teachings.

​

>I asked "Satan has a birthday? And he was a fallen angel, right? So do all the angels have birthdays?"

Yes, actually .... as you said. God talks about how his first-born of creation, Jesus, helped him create everything else thereafter ... including the millions (myriads upon myriads) mentioned in the Bible. So it stands to reason that they all must have had a "day of birth".

Regardless, it has nothing to do with why Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate birthdays or holidays. When a person looks into the origins of all of the secular holidays and sees how they have been adulterated by incorporating from other religions that were opposed and abhorred by God and Jesus, one does not feel bad or left out ... only relieved that they are not participating.

Origins matter. A delicious, shiny piece of candy loses its luster once you know that someone procured it from the gutter. Someone people would say "Oh, it still has its wrapper on it. It's safe to eat." And they do. I am not one of those people; I throw it away.

Then they are in the wrong relationship. It's clear that the family is important to her.
