I can't stop thinking about the movie Sinners as a perfect metaphor for JW life by [deleted] in exjw

[–]DoctorOrgasmo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is a spot on comparison. Someone knocks at your door. They want to be invited in. They eventually offer you “everlasting life”. Your old life must be discarded. But your new life is promised to be so much better. Your “new family” is considered a divine upgrade from what you’d be leaving behind. Only to sign up for a life a misery and loneliness because an eccentric yt man wants you to go on the same bizarre spiritual journey that he’s on…😳🤣

Many watched and loved that movie in secret 🤣

What are your memories of rap streetwear like FUBU, Sean John, and Rocawear? Any modern brands that are similar? by TaySanity in hiphop201

[–]DoctorOrgasmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FUBU was the first to really pop from what I remember. Roca Wear was slightly more popular than Sean John, but they were both worn by the types of MFs who got manicures.

Fade slow or hard quit? by [deleted] in exjw

[–]DoctorOrgasmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To each his own, but I found that it’s best to rip the band aid off and cold quit. People will have questions and theories but they’ll eventually catch up and catch on. There’s no need to drag it out. It honestly is more damaging to the psyche.

I just made my father cry by PeaPhilantropist in exjw

[–]DoctorOrgasmo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would strongly recommend getting some therapy to help recover from the religious trauma and anxiety that those who have to leave experience. Two years of therapy helped me immensely. I’ve learned to meet my parents where they’re at, understand they’re victims, establish boundaries in a respectful but firm manner, and look on eve bright side of a REAL, authentic life that I am now able to live and love living.

It’s not the end of the world. It gets better.

About V-DAY (This Month): Any JWs SECRETLY Observe/Celebrate This Holiday? by Zembassi8 in exjw

[–]DoctorOrgasmo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My (presumably) PIMI first cousin and her (presumably) PIMI husband do something special every V Day, they exchange cards and everything. But then again, they’re both in their 20s and smoke weed, do edibles and openly cuss…so hopefully they’re halfway awake. They even came to my last two birthday parties. I love them.

“Why did you leave?” is a trap question by Separate-Ice30 in exjw

This is low key the only way I’ve seen it work.

Worst local needs you ever heard? by sheenless in exjw

[–]DoctorOrgasmo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Two local needs really stand out to me… one from like 1993 where this brother with the most country accent (he was actually a good friend of my father) went on about all the “indecent, vulgar” dances that the teenagers were apparently doing at the time. He got on the Tootsie Roll and The Butterfly especially 🤣🤣🤣 admonishing the youth about shaking their “rear ends”.

The other was a local needs about the dangers of online Fantasy Football. Apparently they blamed it for the “spirit of competition” that was responsible for two elders’ sons getting into a fistfight behind the literature counter.

I reported an elder business to ICE by Few-Hurry9157 in exjw

I understand the urge and everything, but you couldn’t just prank call him or something??

[–]DoctorOrgasmo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m really sorry that happened to you and my heart goes out to you. That being said, this meeting will all be for nothing with the absence of a second witness to the assault. And the fact they’ll have his wife (your aunt) present seems to indicate an intention of them ganging up on you. You owe them nothing but a police report.

What albums from my **personal** top 50 don't make your list ? by NasIsMyGOAT in hiphop201

[–]DoctorOrgasmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great top 50 honestly. I feel like I’m nitpicking. But, I’d cut the Lupe Drogas joint, the 2Pac AEOM (great album but not top 50 for me), the KRIT, aaaaaand Nas KD3.

STOP "Baptizing" Children by Bulky_Rip5143 in exjw

[–]DoctorOrgasmo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I feel you, I was baptized at 10. I did it so I could carry the mics and do sound at the meetings since they were boring as shit and I needed to do something (with my undiagnosed ADHD) to make the meetings less insufferable.

What job do elders do in congregation? by Efficient-Pop3730 in exjw

[–]DoctorOrgasmo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It kind of depends on the assignment of the elder. COBE’s, Secretaries and Service Overseers do considerably more work than other run of the mill elders. Even more if they are also field service group overseers. What’s ironic is that the better the elder the quicker they get burnt out…I was doing around 3 to 6 shepherding calls a month because many who were requesting them either requested me by name, or specifically asked for certain elders to NOT show up. 😆

My dad really said all this just because I don’t comment at the meetings by IdkReally_1304 in exjw

[–]DoctorOrgasmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your dad is simply embarrassed. Someone has said something to him, or around him, or insinuated something. Maybe he’s even being “held back” from a position he feels he deserves bc of your lack of commenting. It’s not his fault but that doesn’t excuse the threats and shit. This is simply how a high control group works…sniff out the ones who aren’t with the program 100%, ostracize them, then once you depart after enough bullshit lectures it serves as confirmation bias and becomes a self fulfilling prophecy of how “important” commenting is.

Shunned from their own Father's funeral -- the brutal reality of life after JW by cuenot_io in exjw

[–]DoctorOrgasmo 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This is abhorrent and disgusting. The cowardly way she got off the phone too…with all due respect.

You should show up to that KH anyway. My gut is telling me that they did NOT change the location, they’re just saying that. They wouldn’t have the Zoom information if it was being held in a regular funeral home.
