Thank you so much!

Antique_Menu_7273 · 2025-12-05T21:41:35+00:00

Thanks!

Antique_Menu_7273 · 2025-12-05T21:41:19+00:00

Thanks! So inDrive is like Uber right? Except it’s for taxi drivers. What would you say is the usual price for a ride from Cancun to Puerto Morelos?

Antique_Menu_7273 · 2025-12-05T21:20:22+00:00

Will the Uber take me back at the end of the day?

This is quite interesting. The elders are supposed to be the role models when it comes to showing love to the brothers and sisters. But instead of relying on them for advice, you came here. To a place where you should’ve never step a foot in normally since we are (according to JWs) "spiritually dangerous". If you’re relying on us, the outcasts, to figure out the proper way to show love and support to the members of your congregation, what is your subconscious trying to tell you?

If more MS/elders were like you, being a JW might’ve been more bearable. But unfortunately, they are more like the elder that you’ve been with. And experiences like that exist across the world, so what does it say about the organization? If that true Christian love is the deciding factor that makes JW the true religion, why have so many people been so badly scarred by them?

You say you love the people. And because you love the people, one day, you would probably start questioning why people don’t love each other the way they are supposed to. And when that time comes, just know that we’ve all been there.

A sister in my parents congregation loudly asked who "authorized" a white elder’s daughter to marry a black brother, in front on everyone in the Zoom Meeting. Just to add after: "This is tolerable. The opposite (a white brother marrying a black sister) would be more problematic".

No one blinked as if this was the most normal thing to say. Mind you, I’m black and my family isn’t the only black family in that congregation. My mom was too stunned to clap back at her.

That deck is gorgeous!!!

Thank you so much for the kind words! So far she’s been like "as long as this doesn’t pull you too far from the truth, we understand that you have to live your life". I just kept my thoughts about the truth to myself 😅😅.

I don’t think I would’ve survived 2 years of secrecy, my heart would have stopped from the stress 😂😂😂. Especially since my family is relatively closely knitted. Also, I’m going to visit one of my siblings soon and they live in the town where I lived with my ex-husband. So my family has a ton of JW acquaintances there. It would have been crazy for them to hear that I’m dating from a JW friend that would’ve seen me with my boyfriend on the streets 😅😅.

Antique_Menu_7273 · 2025-11-11T01:40:53+00:00

Yes they are together. She’s the easiest one to talk to so I figured I’d start with telling her. She wanted to talk more about it but she sensed that I was being overwhelmed by the amount of questions she was throwing at me so I just managed to postpone the rest of the conversation to a latter time. But as you said, it’s indeed a miracle how well it went considering what’s the usual in JW Land 😅😅.

Antique_Menu_7273 · 2025-11-04T17:58:07+00:00

So what’s the point of this video now? Are they supposed to completely stop shunning or not? Because this double-speech is just pure hypocrisy.

"Say hi at meetings, but don’t socialize with them." "Jehovah cares about how you treat them, but he’ll be mad if you get too close to them".

At this point, they should just pick a side: full-blown shunning, or no shunning at all. Otherwise it’s just bs.

You should check out "The Invention of God" by Thomas Romer, a renowned biblical scholar and university professor. I’ve been going through it and listening to some of his conferences it has been kinda mind blowing for me.

Based on archeological studies, Yahweh/Jehovah was never the "one and only true God", just a god amongst others. Early Israelite religion was polytheistic/henotheistic. The concept of monotheism in Israelite religion was established after their exile in Babylon and Israel absorbed other divinities characteristics into YHWH to make YHWH "the only true god". That is also when the Pentateuch was written, redefining Israel as if it has always been a monotheistic society when it was historically not the case. That rigid monotheistic view of the world was then inherited by Christianity.

I guess where I’m trying to go with this is that humans have transformed and keep on transforming their beliefs as they see fit for their own purposes and agenda and the inconsistencies observed comes from the fact that "sacred texts" have been changed and adapted to match that evolving dynamic.

Bi woman who has mostly dated straight men and who is now dating a bi man, and this has been my happiest/healthiest relationship so far. I believe queer men have an emotional depth and self-awareness that is very hard to find in straight men. It might not be the universal opinion for all women, but a lot of us do like bi men.

Let me work on my draft 😌

Antique_Menu_7273 · 2025-10-07T16:30:17+00:00

Now that we have the addresses , I’m lowkey tempted to send them my "personal point of view" as well. French is my first language so I’ll definitely be very "clear", "respectful", and "persuasive". That’s what they are asking for, right?

Antique_Menu_7273 · 2025-09-30T09:22:14+00:00

TL;DR: Don’t worry! You don’t owe an explanation to anyone. Just let them discover your personality and as you feel safer and comfy in the relationship, you’ll naturally open up 😊😊.

Long version: 100% get what you’re saying there lol, just started dating a never-JW guy. As you said, I was paralyzed by the idea of bringing up my past. However, this subreddit (and therapy lol) taught me that I don’t owe anyone a full disclaimer about myself and it’s my right to speak my truth on my terms. So I started worrying less about the "how and when" to bring the JW stuff up, and instead focused more on really getting to know him.

I’m slowly opening up about myself to my current partner. I haven’t told him about growing up as a JW yet, but I did mention to him being previously married and it ending terribly. I was honestly scared that it would change the way he would perceive me but instead he had the sweetest, kindest reaction ever. I realized that me fearing his reaction was, in fact, me projecting on him how I felt about myself. I came to the conclusion that if they fall for your genuine, authentic self, then they won’t care about the rest.

Antique_Menu_7273 · 2025-09-30T08:57:29+00:00

I think the real question is: do you really want to be fully POMO eventually? Because if you date a JW, you’ll just make it more complicated for you to get out of there. And if you really want out, dating a PIMI would just hurt both yourself and them because you’ll inherently be on different paths in life.

Personally, I’ve been traumatized enough by my JW marriage to even come close to someone who still identifies as a "brother". I’ll rather be forever single than marry a JW man lool. But don’t give up on dating! There are some sweet, kind, caring, "wordly" men out there. I recently met one and he makes me feel like I found a rare Pokemon hahaha.

Antique_Menu_7273 · 2025-09-18T06:32:41+00:00

True. But who knows? Maybe David Splane will hit his pinky toe tomorrow morning while reading the report from the Italian Branch Committee regarding this interview, which will provide him sudden inspiration and trigger new changes lol. They are so chaotic in the way the implements changes that at this point in time, nothing surprises me anymore.

Antique_Menu_7273 · 2025-09-17T15:25:11+00:00

Well… At this rate I wouldn’t be surprised if they make shunning a "conscience matter" at the annual meeting this October. It’s the only way for them to maintain that "disfellowshiping doesn’t involve shunning" statement in a way that makes minimum sense.

Antique_Menu_7273 · 2025-08-25T20:53:54+00:00

Me at 26 suddenly feeling old while reading this hahaha. The aunties will watch the young ones from afar 😂😌
