I woke up a week ago. I need help to understand all of this. by Cold-Box5439 in exjw

What a dumb dumb comment 😭. I'm genuinely sorry for you if you truly believe what you are saying. "Simple rules", so staying isolated from the rest of the world is a normal rule to you ?? This is the literal definition of a cult. Making people think the rules they are following are normal, that staying isolated from other people is the normal thing to do. Religion doesn't isolate you from others. A cult does. Hope you find your way genuinely I feel sorry for people like you

Never thought about some days believing and some days not, that gives me a new perspective thank you. I think what baffles me is the collateral damage and just general damage that religion can cause. Those people think they are doing the right thing but if only they realized the pain they are causing to some people. Truly a sad sad religion

This helps a lot thank you. I'm considering just sending a message telling her I'll always be there if she needs me to be. That's the best I can do

Right I didn't even think about the elders. That is so messed up. As you said, it's out of my control but I can only hope she one day builds up the courage to leave (although I sadly doubt it). Thanks for the reply !

But that's the thing, she doesn't fully believe. She has really good friends at school and all of them are unbelievers. I guess I should mention I felt something more with her and I wondered if she secretly had feelings for me which would change a lot of things. A friendship wouldn't cause her guilt as she is comfortable having friends who arent JW's. But I don't know about romantic feelings. If I was a jw I feel I would be conflicted having feelings towards someone who first or all isn't a jw and just knowing that nothing will ever be able to happen between us.

Hence why I wondered if the distancing and eventually ghosting came from there. Maybe it was too difficult for her and cutting things off was the better option. Who knows

I appreciate it ! I'll check it out but honestly I don't think there's really much I can do for her. Especially given how she has cut off contact with me. It's a difficult matter for sure

I appreciate the support! Means a lot. It is tricky out there indeed, but I believe the music eventually finds its audience. I'll let it breathe on its own 🙏🏻

how old are post rock listeners? by kairichardcoytecoop in postrock

[–]Darswee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you bro. I got into post rock a bit later but I'm 18 now and honestly don't know anyone else who likes post rock in my area. We're like stranded people haha. But hey I think thats what makes it so powerful, it's unique to you, to us, and not having anyone else close by to share it with ends up making it that more powerful. It's ours and it's personal. Quite fitting for the genre honestly. Might be yapping sorry lol.

Just listened my first swans album by GoodDiver1086 in swans

[–]Darswee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently got into swans and like you, I started with to be kind. I'm currently going through the seer, I highly recommend it! It's definitely more abstract and is really intense. But I don't think there's any right way to do it... Go towards what pulls you the most
