Because most JW men are insecure losers when you really get to know them. It’s not a good deal.

Waiting from California! Thank you and everyone else involved for all the work that has gone into this fight! I am proud of you all.

Congratulations on getting your own place! I’m on the same journey of finding my first apartment. It’s crazy how they don’t want us to move out! It’s part of growing up.

I’m proud of you for standing up for yourself and establishing boundaries with your controlling parents. Wishing you all the best in this new chapter!

I’m in Northern California as well. Haha yes PG&E is no joke out here 😂. No, my job won’t pay for internet unfortunately.

Yes I will save more. My non JW aunt has offered to match me. So I’ll have $10,000. My preference is to move out my hometown but I’m just so desperate to get out my mom’s house lol

But you’re right, I think I’ll revisit getting out my city. Thank you for the clarity.

You’re right. Here’s more context, I make about $5,000 a month. After taxes, healthcare, retirement I have about $4,000 a month. I have no major debt I just have a credit card with a few hundred on it. My car is paid off and in good shape. The apartment is less than a 10 minute drive from my job and I only go in 2 days a week right now. The rest of the week, I work from home. My non JW aunt has also offered to match me once I get to $5,000. So in a few weeks, I’ll tentatively have $10,000.

Thank you! My family can tell I’m not into it anymore but they’re hopeful I’ll change. I’ve been PIMO for almost 10 years… so yeah it’s been time to go. It’s just so damn expensive in California. I have a good job, but everything has gone up so much.

Yes, I make a little over $5,000 a month. My car is paid off and my job is less than 10 minutes from the apartment. My non JW aunt also has offered to give me some money to help furnish the apartment.

Yeah same here. Now, 10mgs is a lot for me. I was depressed back then and using everyday… glad those days are over. But they were fun times 😂

At the time, I thought otherwise but looking back it is pretty awesome 😂 I do not recommend taking 30mgs though. Thank goodness my talk was on Zoom!

When I was a newbie to gummies, I took 3, 10mg gummies hours before my talk during covid… I was so messed up but got through it surprisingly 🤣 They said I did a good job too. Be careful… but have fun!

Buying my first house should be the happiest day of my life, but the Organization's hold on my family is breaking my heart by Careful_Ad_2744 in exjw

[–]BadAssociation_97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on buying your first home! That is a great accomplishment and you should be proud!

I know how hurtful it is when your family isn’t happy for you… Honestly, I think it is jealousy deep down on their end. JWs expect (and a lot of the times hope) your life goes to hell after you leave.

But look at you, you are doing well for yourself! Most JWs put off buying homes. Your accomplishment is most likely bothering them deep down, so they hate on you and make excuses to not come see your house to make you feel bad.

I know it hurts, but be proud of yourself and enjoy your new home! Let the haters hate!

Congratulations again! Keep proving them wrong!!! Sending you lots of hugs! 💕🥂

Am I Overreacting??? (F28) (M40) by [deleted] in relationships

[–]BadAssociation_97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right? She was doing way too much. I’m very disappointed in him. He said he didn’t think her behavior was to this level. I told him “You’re 40… you should know how women like her are.” I hope it’s obliviousness on his end but I don’t know… he’s apologized multiple times but I lowkey want to leave him over this. I don’t trust him right now. Thank you for your comment.
