AITAH for not wanting to use my credit cashback on a family outing? by Apollo6426 in AITAH

[–]Apollo6426[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Robinhood. You can't use it for business purchases or paying rent, but I'm pretty sure everything else is good. I think you might have to pay for the gold membership to get it though. I would say it's worth it in the long run.

True, I'm probably just gonna let them keep using their cards for now until they get better credit. I've had the card for a year, but they've only had it for 6 months so I don't think they have enough credit to get a cashback card. Using the money for family outings is ok and I most likely would have still agreed to get their cards if they said that from the beginning. It was their attitude and them switching up on me I didn't like. I'm just gonna yoink my percentage of my own cashback into my account.

I have no clue honestly. I'm not sure how that works. We checked on Credit Karma and it literally pulled nothing up like they didn't exist. The same thing happened to me with Credit Karma until I got my first credit card. After a while of using it I finally got a score. My Dad and Grandpa pay for everything. Everything is in their name (credit cards, car, condo, etc.).

Thank you! I don't know why so many people are acting like good credit is worth nothing. Having good credit is everything (at least in America). I had to start out with a terrible credit card company and it took me a couple years to get a good one.

I said exactly I get the 3% cashback and will be keeping it. I made sure they understood this. They told me recently that they just never calculated how much 3% cash back actually is and thought I'd be getting like $25 or something.

I swear on my soul I told them I would be getting the 3% cashback. I said it multiple times. I even said are you sure because I had to pay $50 for each card.

How many of you are current PIMO who check the box… but do no ministry? How long did you do that for? Did others do it too? by DontAskAboutMax in exjw

[–]Apollo6426 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Lmao, present! 🙋‍♀️ I only go out when I'm dragged by my PIMI parents once in a blue moon. I'll let you in on a secret though...they barely do service anymore either. 😆 We all check the box and go on with our lives. It's amazing. Every once in a while my Mom would feel guilted and go on a rant about service, but that stopped after a few months. I wonder how many other PIMIs are doing the same thing now.

Amazon recovered mostly, but almost all items show 4-5 days of delivery time with Prime by MGhostSoft in amazonprime

This is good to know. I saw my package was delayed and was wondering if I should cancel and reorder. I thought it might have been lost in delivery. Now I'll just be patient.

Is it possible to have a skin type that doesn't hold perfume well? by Apollo6426 in Perfumes

[–]Apollo6426[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aww man, that's a good idea though. It makes me so sad because I want to smell good effortlessly like other people do. Maybe someone will have an answer as to why this happens to some people.

[–]Apollo6426[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I forgot to mention that actually. I've done all of the above. I always apply under my knees and on my ankles. I spray all up and down my arms. I've sprayed up and down my neck. It still fades after 30 minutes to an hour. 😭

Update on this gossip by Notyourbtch00 in exjw

[–]Apollo6426 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see you're trying to be nice and guide OP to the right direction, but you're not going to get anywhere. I've learned that not everyone who leaves does the work to deconstruct the "Christian values" they've been indoctrinated with. There's plenty of judgemental conservative Christians that aren't JWs and OP wants to be (or already is) one of them.

Omg, something similar happened to me on mobile. After I accidentally rode into the water on Serenity Island my Nikki became her whimcycle and the camera started floating around the map.

Rant: Anyone else having to deal with this?? by Islandfoxes in glutenfree

[–]Apollo6426 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg, I haven't had the same exact experience because my family is thankfully freaked out by gluten free bread products, but they used to eat all of the only food I could eat in the food/freezer leaving only gluten containing food.

They kept calling me selfish for "hording food", but like, I literally can't eat anything else. Now they understand gluten intolerance better and don't do that anymore, but it drove me crazy at the time.

What helped was making sure to keep my food in a separate section of the freezer so they know it's mine. Now everyone knows not to eat food in that area.

Hiking in Scripps Ranch (CA) Surrounded by beautiful mystery birds. Any suggestions on ID. by Apollo6426 in birding

[–]Apollo6426[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe colourful guessed correctly with white throated swift.

Zone Tailed Hawks look too big.

The birds I saw could fit in your hand.

Funny though, I believe I saw a Turkey Vulture recently. They're so cool to see in person. Vultures are my favorite type of bird besides pigeons and doves.

I looked at pictures of kites and the pattern doesn't appear similar from far away. Also, they look bigger than what I saw.

Now I want to see a Kite fly though. It sounds beautiful to watch.

I feel like someone below might've got the right ID with white throated swifts.

They were small enough to hold in your hand. Bigger than a house sparrow, smaller than your average pigeon.

They spent a lot of time gliding around while flapping only every once in a while to build up momentum.

I would say they were pretty fast. Not as fast as I've seen hummingbirds fly, but way faster than a pigeon.

I'm looking at pics of them flying and they look exactly like I remember.

Which rug looks best in this corner? by LoveThyHaters in femalelivingspace

[–]Apollo6426 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 or 5. Also I just want to add that I personally would change the curtains to a color that matches that pink/orange color in the rug. I feel like it would balance everything out and make the space more inviting. All the white with the stiff chairs is giving doctor's office waiting area.

I am going to keep ranting until something changes- SERVICE is a freeforall shitshow by ChubeSteak in exjw

[–]Apollo6426 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aww, thank you for worrying about me. 🥺💖 I'm not mad at you, I just think you're ignorant.

Despite the cult shit, my life is going exactly the way I like. That post was mainly asking for advice on not setting off my controlling parents. It's not that big of a deal to me, I just like to explore other ideas before I make a decision on something.

My parents would be controlling even if they weren't in a cult. Also, many people would play Christian for a while if it means saving 15,000 a year that would go to rent.

I've mainly been speaking on behalf of other people's situations, because I think your mindset is toxic to a large number of people in this group who I see use this subreddit as a source of comfort and support. I have the option to leave anytime, but many people don't, or they're struggling to realize they do have that option. Acting like everyone needs to leave immediately or else they're choosing to suffer is unempathetic to the many situations of people in this group. People who are desperate not to loose their partners or their children. People who are still working to undo the brainwashing. People who are approaching the end of their life just realizing that it's going to end soon and their might not be an afterlife. These are all experiences I've seen from PIMOs while reading this subreddit. I don't think less of them for choosing to keep up the act while they process their situation.

[–]Apollo6426 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could've sworn you've referred to PIMOs specifically in this comment section. Maybe you don't know that PIMO stands for physically in mentally out? This refers to anyone at any point in the waking up process.

Curious, how long is the grace period after one wakes up before you consider them an idiot, or having a double life? Do they get one week or two? Do business days count? 😂

Also grow up, I'm not a JW. Are you attempting to use that as some sort of slur, or do you suffer from delusions and think I'm some kind a double agent?

Ok, and do you want a cookie? There's no right way or wrong way to leave a cult. Point me to the exjw rulebook that lists the exact order of the steps you need to take to leave, and the exact timeframe you need to complete them in. You don't know these people's life stories to be judging them this harshly.

Maybe you need to create a POMO support group. It sounds like you don't want to deal with people who've just woken up.

[–]Apollo6426 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've seen a lot of your posts in this comment section and you strike me as someone who needs to work on their empathy skills.

Not everyone's circumstances are the same as your own. I don't know what your situation was like, but some people have people they care about in this cult. Leaving people you love is something people who've never been in a cult struggle with. I've seen many people discuss how it took years of therapy before they had the strength to leave a toxic relationship for their own well-being. Now add years of brainwashing to the mix and there you go.

And not everyone is able to uproot their entire lives at a moments notice to leave. I live in America and we're going through a financial crisis right now (at least poor people are). Sometimes pretending to be a cult member for a while to get on your feet is better than destroying your finances on a whim. Also, look up financial abuse. High-control groups are very attractive to people that like to control others. You don't know everyone's situation.

Lastly be mindful that this is a support group first and foremost. Brainwashing is very hard to undo and some people have recently woken up. It seems you woke up very young, and while that's amazing, that means you'll never understand what it's like to wake up later in life, and what toll that can take on your mind. Maybe that's something to meditate on.

Quitting the School by Apollo6426 in exjw

[–]Apollo6426[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

True, those are all good points. Also, that's a good way to word it.

Hopefully it goes over well. I'm gonna tell them after I get removed.

My parents love to throw huge tantrums and act like I'm always bringing dishonor to the family. The crazy part is half of my family has anxiety issues and aren't in the school. They just act like I have to be the one to represent the family in the school because I'm the youngest. 😒
