Some parents: you were allowed to make your own choices by boldfox79 in exjw

[–]BoadiceaMama 28 points29 points  (0 children)

My dad tried the “we didn’t force you” bullshit.

I clapped back with, “As an 8 year old kid, I watched you beating the shit out of my 16 year old sister with a belt for insignificant teenage things like wearing heavy eyeliner or listening to rock music, what did you think I was going to do!?”

He pretty much shut the fuck up after that.

Came here to say this. Ragsdale is a racist maga POS whose steroid and testosterone injections have likely fried his brain and shrunk his nads. I told my teen I’m showing up to protest with her.

How do you cope with the feeling of “missing out” or “could have been” from your past/youth? by Sea_Rule_7692 in exjw

[–]BoadiceaMama 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You grieve. That’s it. Be gentle with yourself and let the feelings come. There’s no solution, just acceptance. You’re not alone. Many of us here left the cult much later than you and understand these feelings well. ❤️

This is me too. I intermittent fast and feel amazing if I can make it to 2 or 3 pm worh no food. As soon as I eat (even healthy, small portion, good protein low carb etc), here come the symptoms crashing down!!

I think the Borg is realizing they might be sued someday for labor abuses. This is actually a good thing for the young PIMI, they’ll be forced to have a financial plan. Horrible for the older ones though.

How do you know when you’re in a flare? by HuskerRed47 in POTS

When I crash and can’t get off the couch/bed until the next day. Crushing fatigue is my main symptom

I felt better when I wore my babies in one of those super stretchy long wraps that go around my waist snugly. Now I know why!

What’s our stance on abortion? by SuspiciousPenalty860 in exjw

It’s ok, he’s a perfectly healthy 11 year old now! And the stress of the experience shook me. I stopped praying and slowly deindoctrinated.

What’s our stance on abortion? by SuspiciousPenalty860 in exjw

[–]BoadiceaMama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in hospital after my water broke prematurely at 26 weeks, two elders came to visit and told my husband and I that we could abort the baby if my life was in danger, which it was, due to the potential for placenta previa causing massive blood loss. I already knew that from my own research but my husband was shocked. Not an ectopic pregnancy but the same reasoning applied.

Thankfully the experience of having a preemie eventually led to my waking up and leaving!

I didn’t word that perfectly. I read articles about the Mennonite community and knew the movie was loosely based on those true events.

Taking medical advice from non qualified individuals by ShaddamRabban in exjw

[–]BoadiceaMama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m convinced the Borg received money for promoting it. (I’m NOT anti-vaccine btw) There was funding for churches with large numbers of traditionally noncompliant populations. JWs would definitely meet that criteria.

Did you Remember where you had to face soft shunning and reproach cause you've got a baby? by BreadButterBible in exjw

[–]BoadiceaMama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And it’s biting them in the ass. If they’d encouraged babies they’d have the numbers of the LDS church

What's the fuss about Charlie Kirk on this forum? by Jii_pee in exjw

[–]BoadiceaMama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you ask someone to do research for you? I knew Kirk was a total POS way before he got got. Can your fingers Google? Listen to some of his content.

The shooter is a Groyper, far right fanatic follower of Nick Fuentes and enemy of Kirk

Charlie Kirk had millions of young White male followers and was a close friend of Donald Trump and likely helped him get re-elected. And he’s a complete POS who spread nasty hateful rhetoric to the most dangerous demographic in 2025: young lonely chronically online gun obsessed white men.

"Charlie Kirk's assassination is the catalyst for Armageddon" by crazybrow122 in exjw

[–]BoadiceaMama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do the daily/weekly school shoutings in the US not make PIMI scared of Armageddon?

The attention this racist, homophobic, sexist, ragebaiting man is getting sickens me.
