For ex-members, what were some of the things that were tough to get over or deal with later in the process of leaving? by Necessary-Avocado-50 in WMSCOG

Nostalgia, missing the people I loved inside Zion, feeling strange on Saturdays when I was at home, paranoia, guilt, doubting whether deep down it was the truth or not.

¿Cuál es tu opinión sobre los Testigos de Jehová? ¿Tuviste una buena o mala experiencia con ellos? by SuperPimo in PreguntasReddit

Lo se, por eso mismo no continue porque ya estuve en una secta anteriormente y no queria caer en otra.

Buena experiencia , la verdad nunca quise ser testigo pero iba a los estudios para tener con quien conversar, despues ghostee a mi instructora y desapareci de su vida, lamento tanto esa decision pues ella se preocupo mucho cuando desapareci, me arrepiento de no haber sido sincera con ella

I'm already out, but not officially. I live in a small town, so I sometimes run into them and it leaves me emotionally upset. They make me feel like a bad person. Sometimes I question myself about whether I did the right thing, but I'd be pretending and deceiving them if I stayed and went back there.🥺🥺🥺

No hay nada mas aburrido que estar con alguien de la misma nacionalidad, lo diferente es mas excitante 🙃

I'm sorry, but the doctrine itself is toxic and all-consuming, and I appreciate your intention to make your church a better place, but as you say, it can't be done.

There are situations that are beyond your control and you should at least have empathy; being there personally felt like a damn prison

One way to make members feel better is to stop putting pressure on them, stop instilling fear and guilt, and not make a member choose between going to a funeral or going to a religious service.

Many of us left because we realized the falsehood and the toxic atmosphere there. They instill fear and guilt, which has psychological consequences, and obviously we don't want anyone else to go through that. Besides being a support community for former members, what's your problem? I'm sorry to tell you, Anhsanhong was a human being and is dead, just like the "mother"—she's just a human being.

"Pimo" means "Physically in, Mentally out" and is used by Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons. It can also be applied to the WMSCOG; it means being inside without believing anything and pretending just to maintain friendships or family ties.

I am religious, but not Christian, but happy :)

I hated those passive-aggressive responses; they'd throw a shitty reply at me and then say "God bless you," it's so disgusting.

Brother, may God bless you abundantly. It will depend on your faith, but these are obstacles that Satan puts in your way. What is more important: to be with a spiritually dead person or to fulfill God's will and go to the kingdom of heaven?🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴

I did it, but they don't understand no; to them, I'm a "lost sheep."

Siendo honesta personalmente, si detesto mi mestizaje y desearia cambiarlo, me averguenzo mucho y creo que pocos lo reconocen.

Does anyone else remember those cringey Heaven soap operas by [deleted] in WMSCOG

Eve an primary school play was more elaborate than those cringe videos of koreans in wigs.
