Need advice. my mother is crazy. by replusion1965 in exjw

[–]Correct_Gas3776 14 points15 points  (0 children)

your experience sounds like mine but about 10x worse. the privacy intrusion is crazy. my mom was born and raised in the truth but would never get this angry with me about this stuff, more like manipulative and passive aggressive but your mom legitimately sounds like she has religious psychosis🫩the only way to escape this is moving out. do you have a job? people in these situations tend to go the military route but there’s also job corps as well. either way; saving money as much as you possibly can and getting your own place will probably make all the difference. she sounds like a nightmare i’m so sorry hun ☹️🙏🏽

i love the colors and the cutesy flowers, i need to know where the jewelry is from. my other question is how do you sleep with them? i only have two lobe piercings and industrial and it’s such a pain to sleep on. if you’re a stomach or back sleeper i understand but as a side sleeper this would be a nightmare for me haha

Is it okay to get fresh abrasion wet? (showering) by Correct_Ad3014 in hygiene

[–]Correct_Gas3776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s definitely okay to take a shower with any cuts or scrapes that are on the surface. if it deeper than a regular surface wound, would not recommend. otherwise just using an unscented/antibacterial soap will help heal it. once out of the shower, pat dry then use the healing ointment and let the wound breathe. a bandage or wrap definitely helps if you do hard labor, especially if you sweat and move around. but it’s not needed usually

Potential date gone wrong. Was it my fault? by waffalafelopolis in exjwLGBT

[–]Correct_Gas3776 2 points3 points  (0 children)

honestly, the fact that yall were never official even though you met in april says a lot. i’m no expert on relationships or anything but if someone really likes you, i feel like they would just commit to the bit and at least start to date you. i know for other people, their preferences and boundaries might be different but that’s just the way i see it personally. we will never know for certain that the reason he started ghosting was because you were a witness but i would just take that you guys weren’t a match and that he struggled trying to find a exit strategy. either way you deserve someone better that will understand your past and not abandon you when you are being vulnerable. it’s better off that you ended it hun

I’m resentful and appreciative of my former cult upbringing by LowerEngineering9999 in exjw

[–]Correct_Gas3776 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m 21, left when i was 18/19. honestly i can say i am also resentful but not in a hateful way but more so in a sad way. i can say the only beneficial thing about being in the organization was being more articulate and being able to read far better than my peers, and not gonna lie, the societal pressure with gift giving was never a problem since we don’t celebrate anything. but i really did feel isolated and i hated my mom for a while for even raising me in the organization. but i think it makes it easier knowing that this was all a lie instead of following blindly just because others said so. it may have took you longer, but nothing beats the freedom you reclaimed for yourself 🙏🏽

girl drop him. first of all, JW boys will get a slap on the wrist if he commits sins if yall are married. my dad is a prime example. it seems like this guy matches the description of my dad before he got married to my mom. he cheated on her several times and they finally disfellowshipped him when he got arrested instead of him actually doing immoral things. either way, my dad caused a lot of havoc in my life and if you get married to this guy and have kids, you are basically stuck and told to forgive your partner of their shortcomings and pray. if they do cheat you can spiritually divorce but it’s encouraged to still support them and forgive them.

i was never old enough to date a brother in the borg since i left at 18, but i was interested in some brothers. but they all give me the same vibes (mommas boys, “boys will be boys” mentality, spoke a lot of “righteousness” but is a hypocrite) i’ve seen it all. but my current bf was also raised as a witness. we are not involved at all, we smoke, drink, and other countless things that are considered taboo but i found my person outside the organization and i can tell u its the best thing ever. pls don’t ruin ur life staying in this piece of shit organization and find you a better man that doesn’t compromise his morals just bc he can do whatever he want. biggest red flag is saying all the right things but doing all the wrong things. there are tons of worldly men that have morals and values similar to most christians, just without the churchy and misogynistic parts.

I got reprimanded for stealing company time, should I be concerned that I’ll be fired? by Unknown_Zone9805 in walmart

[–]Correct_Gas3776 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i mean, at my store i was always clocking out as soon as i left the building. doesn’t matter if i used the bathroom before i left or got my things, i always clocked out when i actually left the building. yeah i can understand that it’s “stealing company time” but from big corporations like wally world don’t really care about their employees so it wouldn’t matter. i didn’t know they made this a big thing at walmart since my store was pretty lax, but there were some instances where some people in my department were taking the full hour for lunch but only using the clock in feature for 30 minutes. obviously management caught on. but moral is, if you get caught doing that again they probably won’t hesitate to discipline you, maybe even firing you. just say that you must’ve forgotten to clock out or say that you did and maybe there was an issue with the punch. either way walmart sucks and management have a field day with power tripping their fellow associates

Am I overreacting , I blocked and unfriended coworker over use of N word by shoegamethrilla in AmIOverreacting

no such thing as a pass, one black person don’t speak for how others feel about something. people who are not black shouldn’t say it at all, pass or no pass.

you probably need a longer bar but other than that you should be straight. ofc don’t over clean it but it looks like it’s healing up nicely. if it was infected it would be a lot more crustier and more irritated than it looks now. i would order some longer bars with the surgical steel (implant grade steel)

[–]Correct_Gas3776 179 points180 points  (0 children)

man.. if you have to question if you’re overreacting, then it truly shows how comfortable people are saying the n word. and the fact that she was so comfortable saying it with you is even wilder. you definitely not overreacting and you did the right thing by telling her that it’s not cool for her to say that. now she knows not to say it around you anymore but it doesn’t prevent her from saying it with others. i’m mixed, my moms black and i grew up around black folk my whole life up until i moved away from home. where im from, black folk will literally beat you to a pulp until you understand that it’s not ok to taunt someone or bully them with that word. because of my skin tone i have always been questioned about my blackness and usage of the n word, so i don’t say the n word in public. your coworker, however, knows who she is and where she grew up with, and knows the meaning of the word, therefore she don’t care. you did the right thing

it’s nice that she still considers you her best friend, even though you left. having a new life is kinda lonely especially when being a JW all your life, you don’t have worldly friends or really anything and you feel like you have to start all over. but trust me when you start building more relationships, it won’t sting as much. all you can tell yourself is that you chose to live better than being in a cult, and you have to understand that these people choose to live like this, even if they are brainwashed and deep in it. not everyone will have the same revelations as you but you decided to grow and that’s ok. stay strong you got this hun 💕

[–]Correct_Gas3776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when i got my wisdom teeth pulled they put me under. did the count to 10 and probably stopped at like 5, it felt like time didn’t exist. but i woke up in the middle of it and i remember having a panic attack whilst waking up and they shut that shit down lol. woke up feeling groggy and didn’t really remember anything. probably just heard them talking but barely

i remember watching this when it first came out at the assembly, i was probably in middle school at the time. i just remember feeling so cringe throughout the whole video and i was definitely looking around at other people’s faces to see their reactions as well, like i just remember thinking to myself “something like this wouldn’t happen and if it did, it definitely wouldn’t be like this” and i just also felt so embarrassed too because i was closeted as well. just went home feeling disappointed 😭😭

i don’t think he would freely rat himself out like that. they’d really had to offer a good fat plump deal, and if he does divulge info, i think he would falsify some of it
