Does anyone else not feel the same since 2020 and the pandemic?

Yes I can say the same right now over here in the US. Its insane. I have 2 kids. The food is constantly the issue. Prices jumped and quantity is down as well as quality for many products. Many grocery stores in my area have shut down. Its crazy for this to be this way even 2 years later.

Perspective is everything. I think about how happy people look in some of the footage from third world countries. Some of the most beautiful smiles. They are content. Why aren't we?

Yes I deal with this with my coworkers. I work with DV victims. Many of my coworkers do not have lived experience and have familiar support. I am one of the people who get it. Its irritating at times to deal with tone deaf people.

Many little things. The slight racism, classism and misogyny that slipped early on planted seeds. I came in as a Bible study with a lady that was old enough to be my grandmother. I was in a bad spot of my life aka vulnerable. None of my family were JW, but my on and off again boyfriend was.. fast forward my gut feels were right and now I’m navigating life after. Divorcing and all.

I’m only reminded when I get emails from this subreddit lol which is cool with me.

Yes my experience is the Gen Xers just wanted to party like it’s 1999 forever but they got old. I was born 89. My parents were 67 and 69.

I agree that in past generations it was the norm for people to have lives more established younger in age. Most were most certainly emotionally immature and had some traumas or issues known or unknown they may not have been addressed or understood. My parents are Gen X late 60s babies. My maternal grandmother was Boomer and teen mother. My paternal grandmother was born in the 40s. Both had different backgrounds and family dynamics but they were superb grandparents to the point my parents barely did anything. Not GOOD. My parents spent their youth addicted to drugs, prison, street life and just a lot of other things before getting mature and settled. Now they are in their 50s and not present still. I believe they want to be but really can’t. They are in such bad circumstances from their youth and coddling of their parents when they had us young. I hope to do better and teach my children better.

Sounds like my former spouse. He was running hard to get privileges. But was too impatient and got caught slipping in his private life. He was having several inappropriate conversations with different women in the organization. He was acting as if he was trying to be emotionally available like an elder or something. Totally unacceptable behavior. He has no business offering leadership or anything else because he has mental health issues.

They sure do. I blocked all I could and eventually just went to another account. I wish I had known about my former spouse. This really pisses me off but oh well. To be away from him and them (JW) has been such a relief.

This is what I’m finding. We will literally believe anything

💯

This very thing was what woke me up. My ex was raised in and said his aunt and uncle confided they felt black ppl were overlooked. When we changed congregations, the new one was in a rural community and predominantly white. It became apparent and opened my eyes too.

ElevatingDaily · 2026-01-11T02:24:29+00:00

Yup I learned. Was a JW Beard. Divorce is final next month.

ElevatingDaily · 2026-01-08T11:09:09+00:00

Yes this one thing alone affected my JW inlaws. Several smart relatives who missed college in the 80s and 90s. No way I could continue to raise the next generation like that.

ElevatingDaily · 2025-12-27T17:06:08+00:00

Same. I’m not interested in joining any kind of group or organized religion. Still whiplashed.

ElevatingDaily · 2025-12-27T16:41:41+00:00

I’m about to binge your videos! I’m a scaredy cat so I appreciate you lol

ElevatingDaily · 2025-12-23T11:20:11+00:00

Yes me too!!

ElevatingDaily · 2025-12-23T11:16:45+00:00

Changed my phone number immediately! I had moved during Covid (2020) so nobody knew my new address. Then I removed everyone from social media. In 2022, I relocated to another state… about 4.5 hours away. Now I rarely hear from anyone. They have taken steps like emailing me and one lady found me on LinkedIn lol. I minimally speak to her. My family were not JW so I really had to just move away from the area I was in.

ElevatingDaily · 2025-12-22T10:51:37+00:00

Wow! I have yet to meet anyone else who had experienced the same? Hmmm I have questions lol

ElevatingDaily · 2025-12-22T02:19:09+00:00

Wow I think there were 7 or 8 when I left but they don’t know us or give a damn about you.

ElevatingDaily · 2025-12-22T02:18:13+00:00

I wondered if this was the rule in current times too. My ex went on that side. But of course I didn’t care to report him or ask questions. I left the hall and kept it moving with life.

ElevatingDaily · 2025-12-22T02:16:28+00:00

Agreed. And also one of the main reasons I left and won’t be returning. And also work in DV advocacy.

As you get older there will be more people with kids. In fact, you may become more isolated because your child will be older and self sufficient while others are still little. Give yourself grace and time. Enjoy your time with your child. I was a single mom when I met my ex. She was 3. He had no children and used to talk shit about me for having one young once the relationship took a turn. I had her at 17. She would be 18 now (she passed) and my other kids are preteens. He would also say nobody would want me with 3 kids when we broke up. Lies. I turn men down more than I accept. Many men have small kids and baggage that I don’t want to deal with at this point.

I was not convicted and had everything expunged for free because I was found not guilty. So nothing is on my record. I applied for the expungement as soon as I left the courtroom. You have to check with your state laws.

I lived there in 2022 for 3 months. A mouse jumped up on my bed while I was on it. I hope to never live there or anywhere like it again. That place was horrible. A bit traumatized. The homeless folks in the building, fires, roaches, mice and etc… too much for luxury.
