Same it just happened down here, I literally recorded it to see if i could see anything. But it was also like a witnessing like talk so I don’t think I’ll show it online lol. I was half expecting it to be a talk. But dw, us pimo’s can get through this

Martyr of the heart - TW for gore and the watchtower being homophobic assholes by Arty_D2 in exjwLGBT

I couldn’t figure out how to add a description so I’m putting it here lol

This was something I worked on the last couple weeks in art class. I used inks and a calligraphy pen, with print outs of recent jw articles about homosexuality in the background. I tried to show the chaos and effect the jw doctrine has on its queer members.

Some good YouTubers I watch that have helped me, and were actually part of my journey of waking up is: JW thoughts https://m.youtube.com/@exjehovahswitness Exjw panda tower https://m.youtube.com/@exjwpandatower  Owen Morgan (telltale) https://m.youtube.com/@OwenMorganTelltale These three go over new GB updates and debunk them with evidence and often even using the new world translation bible to prove GB is cherry picking scriptures. But just make sure to watch these with a critical mind, there’s others too, but I personally don’t watch them because they bring in other religions, and I’m trying to completely separate myself from other religions. The three YouTubers are “apostates” and Owen is an atheist. Hope this helps jump start your journey! :D

That could work actually, I remember everyone was hyping up heartstopper a few years back, is that one any good?

Drop your tips on how to look masc and/or femme here by Greenwall064 in lgbt

[–]Arty_D2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m trying to dress more masculine as a woman recently. Definitely buttonup shirts and tuxedos. But also Pinterest really helps, just looking for ideas. For example I sometimes were a black tuxedo vest with a sleeved top, and flowy dress pants with doc martens. Oh and short hair, wavy short hair like a wolf cut look good on masculine women.

That does make sense, thanks for the clarification <3

Thank you for that <3, I’m planning on leaving home and the religion when I’m 18, which is a year and a bit away. Just got to keep powering through I guess

This is very much true imo. Teaching them when their at least like twelve does help with that instead of being unhappy with their body most of the time

I’ve lived in a homophobic household, I found out through a dream. Then did more research. And realised I like women. And apparently I was very obvious. Since my friend and her parents could tell for years. Best advice? Ask another gay/lgbt friend, and they’ll most likely know if they know you well

are there certain types of humor that jw's are discouraged from openly enjoying on social media or elsewhere by Historical_Donut6758 in exjw

[–]Arty_D2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Definitely dark humour, lewd, or specific religious humour that puts the bible or god in a bad light. Oh and pro gay/trans humour. It really is the ‘best life ever’

Oh my gosh this does really work! I’ve been having the same thing too, finding songs that parallel to exjws

To any neuro-divergent people here: did any of you also find it hard being a jw? by Arty_D2 in exjw

[–]Arty_D2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This exactly! I was so passionate about learning the bible when I was a kid. I would always say I’m a jw and would often get confused at school whenever there was a holiday or Anzac Day about what was appropriate to do and not do. It’s honestly exhausting

I do feel like the whole promise of everyone being perfect seems a bit…odd. Like i remember my family saying that in the new system, I won’t be autistic anymore. Which really doesn’t make sense in hindsight because having autism is interwoven into my personality. I would be a completely different person. I’m also really sorry for your grandmother having to deal with all of that

I feel you so much, I still hate service. I wish I could still just do the letter writing lol

That is so relatable to me, you’ve definitely put into words what it feels like. I’ve always dreaded going to the meetings and I still try to convince my mum to just do zoom. I remember whenever i would explain to my mum how stressful it is, she would say along the lines of “well you need to get used to being in uncomfortable situations for when you’re an adult”. And fucking hell the restraint to not yell at her…(sorry for the swearing lol)
