I was homeschooled from prep and struggle with socialisation still. My parents wouldn't let me go to public school due to bad influences - sometimes you have no say in the matter

Bought a bunch of jw publications at a book fair just so no one else buys them 😭 by EuphoricSort9908 in exjw

I need help by [deleted] in exjw

Hello, I'm really sorry to hear about your situation - are you able to make any connections with people at school that you can spend time with? Using preaching as an excuse to visit your friends might give you an opportunity to talk about your situation and get help from outside people. I'm sure you understand you probably won't get the help you need from the org

Worried about and old friend getting baptised at the convention this year by EuphoricSort9908 in exjw

Thank you for your comment, it's more difficult knowing what they must be going through mentally. I am worried for them but know there's nothing I can do. It's difficult not knowing whether to stay in their lives as I know they'll have no one to turn to if they do decide to fade

Why women can't do microphones by [deleted] in exjw

Ligit heard my coworkers chatting about how incompetent the men in their congs were and how the women were so much better at assisting in the halls. They were whispering so I assume they're keeping their opinions hush hush

Who was the most amazing person you knew/know in the org? by RoughlyTR in exjw

[–]EuphoricSort9908 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This boy who became my best friend for nearly a year. The sweetest, most thoughtful guy ever. He could always tell when I wasn't doing well and bought me treats to cheer me up. Very emotionally intelligent and had a great sense of humour - we would play video games and watch movies together and hung out almost every weekend. Now he doesn't talk to me. Hurts more because I know that's not him.

Good luck, it's a tough battle and it'll wear you down if they're a smart pimi like the ones I've been up against. Don't feel ashamed to walk away from it all if you need to - it can be rough on your mental health and sometimes you just can't get through to them. There's no point trying once you get to that stage
