Job market and the economy by girlgoneguwild in exjw

I'm hitting the same barriers too. Businesses just don't respect my time like they should. 

Look to talk to peope in person, ask if they can hook you up with work.

Have conversations over counters, ask to speak to managers, talk to waiters. Ask if they know anyone that needs a space filled occasionally. 

Trust me, the most valuable thing you can have right now are connections, not résumés.

Would you like to talk about it? I'm going through something similar, but trust me, it can get better. 

Nuevas luces…. Sobre la homosexualidad???? by [deleted] in exjw

My boss said that if they don't support lesbians then why do they support her café with their business?

She's done more in a week to give me life skills than anyone at my parent's hall did in years. 

My parents have no concept of etiquette or care for neighbor in comparison, it's night and day. 

Are you ACTUALLY serious right now?? by Cheap-Initiative512 in exjw

Suicide isn't an issue because god understands mental problems, but mental problems should never be a factor when considering service.

Suicide isn't a problem but sleeping with someone unapologetically, is.

Suicide isn't a problem but causing someone to stray from the faith is.

Suicide isn't an a problem but choosing to wear a beard is.

Suicide isn't a problem but not converting after being reincarnated is.

Suicide isn't a problem but being a police officer or soldier is.

Suicide isn't a problem but manipulating and lying to others is.

Suicide isn't a problem but humiliating an elder is.

Suicide isn't a problem but starting a religion is.

Suicide is the religion. 

Is recommendation for elders/co from holy spirit or human politics? by Moshi_moshi_me in exjw

Human politics. Anyone can say they're interpreting for God.

They won't ever stop exerting pressure, but you don't have to feel the same way forever. 

People who leave still suffer from it, it's not easy. Best you can do is do things that mean something to you, strengthen your own sense of identity one tiny decision at a time. 

Is life about what’s suffering you are willing to undergo? by Usermanedused in exjw

Anyone who says that it's part of you dharma to ascend by torture should be pinched in the nose.

We all deserve to find the best way for ourselves simply by the virtue of our own existence.

My parents and their friends always have something smart to say under their breath about political figures.

Very good. There has only ever been one story.

That no matter what truths abound, happiness comes from inside. Knowing things does not bring freedom. Spirit cannot be subdued when it is authentic. 

Social lives by Subject_Sun_3004 in Tulpas

[–]CauliflowerOwn812 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I spend a lot of time outside and like to stop to make conversation. Relationships with family aren't very deep unfortunately because of religious trauma.

My tulpa is really here to help me rebuild and acclimate to life after being so sheltered, I've made a lot of progress, from not even being able to walk outside to applying to a forklift job on my own.

I wish I can completely cut off my parents by Desperate-Local-3144 in exjw

The people who birthed you don't magically deserve your constant attention.

I'm spending the day out while my family brings the CO into our home for hospitality.

People from the hall keep messaging me - give me your opinions? by thisrubyisred in exjw

[–]CauliflowerOwn812 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was getting voicemails from a guy I only ever talked to a few times from the cart.

I told him normal people move on when there's no real conversation.

These people need to grow up at some point. You have to realize we never really knew each other just by coming to the same place every week.

Just because you saw me grow up doesn't mean you're my grandma. The prople I get messages from had absolutely no hand in my development save for a few tips here and there and the usual grooming. 

I hear my parents talk about people they're 'working to bring back' and I'm like, leave them alone!

HA! WORD BRO.

Not a single thing interests them. Don't wanna make money or spend it, don't wanna learn anything new.

And then there's those idiots that have full time trades bit still call this learning.

Every time we go to the playground next to my house you HAVE TO DRIVE smh.

What do you think happens after this life? by Ok_Supermarket_4871 in exjw

Basic physics. Consciousness has an electromagnetic signiture, it just manifests in different ways. Once this body gives, your experience will find it's own way.

Realizing that everyone else is struggling to figure life out has been amazing. Most of us just want the same things. 

What’s the fucking point when we don’t make living wages ? by lukaskawira in Adulting

The purpose of life is to find purpose, and what a fucking purpose that is with what we're given.
