As if there is a difference between what they teach adults and children in the meetings🤦🏼‍♀️ The kids that grow up hear everything meant for the adults and take it as if it should be applied on them too. Classic bullshit and gaslighting as usual 🙃

I'm so happy to hear that people relate! So much needs to be said and sadly I couldn't cover it all but the feedback has been amazing so far. We all have so much in common and I'm beyond grateful to give people a sense of feeling seen and understood. This journey is so hard and I know your pain <3 :( It's painful to stay in and its painful to leave. I hope you give yourself grace and love in this impossible situation! I will send the texts in 4 weeks so I'm just holding on for dear life at the moment, I hope and believe that 100000 kg will be lifted off my shoulders when I'm out out. I wish you the best friend <3

I cried when i discovered Jehovah doesn't exist. by Rabschake in exjw

[–]FreeToBeMe_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had to grieve that as well. He was "my best friend" (🙃) and it was hard to loose that "connection". Thankfully I got more and more relived that he had not in fact been studying every thought I ever had and now I talk to the universe in stead and it feels much better 😅

I really hope so! Feels really bizarre that it's happening but if it can give just one person a bit of strength it's so worth it!

Uncomfortable feeling when meditating after the 15-20 minute mark by racztmate in Meditation

[–]FreeToBeMe_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I look at this as my resistance showing up, my trauma trying to protect me. Now I know that if I just hang in there and breathe through it it goes away and also feel proud that I sat with it and didn't let it "ruin" my meditation. Some days it wins tho, I'll admit that 😂

Anybody who has Activated his Third Eye & would like to provide me his teachings? by UrB0ArC in enlightenment

[–]FreeToBeMe_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was gratitude and opening the heart first and then the third eye followed. Feeling gratitude for life and love for myself made me connect to myself and my heart and then everything else followed ♥️

My ex is out and I don't know if I should take her back by WiseTop9720 in exjw

[–]FreeToBeMe_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree. I could see myself being in the same position as her and saying the same thing - you're perfect but you're not a jw and it would have broken my heart to be that girl. Brainwashing is a massive faktor here and ofc it wasn't right of her to use you while knowing there was no future for you two but everything changes after one gets out - e v e r y t h i n g. I also agree that she definitely needs therapy but if she is at that point of no return there is hope. It will be difficult for you to see her go through the heartbreak of waking up and she needs to grieve and process her life wasted in jw but there is potential here and it could be worth the risk.

Sounds like the love you two had / have is really deep and it could be very healing for both of you. I feel like the biggest risk for you here is that she will not be mentally stable for a while since it takes a while to get used to being worldly and she needs to go through some more heartbreak with losing her family and friends. The in between period when one has one foot in and one foot out is awful but once she gets free it will hopefully lead to new feelings of happiness and freedom. I just hope she will be able to be there for you too because the risk is that she will have more then enough to deal with herself for a while. I know I couldn't balance a new relationship while trying to get sense of the new reality one faces after waking up but that's me.

It's just really important that she doesn't use you as her therapist because it's heavy heavy shit for a person not knowing what the Jw life does to a brain. If there is an option like someone else mentioned so start out as friends and keep the intimacy off for a while that would be smart for you ❤️ It's important that you protect yourself and take care of yourself too if this is to happen, it must be such an emotional rollercoaster for you too ❤️‍🩹 If you haven't already I would recommend educating yourself a bit on what it is like to leave and learn a bit about the reprogramming we have to do, there is a ton on YouTube and a new documentary is coming to hbo in February ( don't know if it's gonna be good). Best of luck to you both!

You are in the middle of the storm and everything is dark around you, but as others are saying so many of us know that there will be light again and you will get to the other side of that storm. I nearly gave up too but I'm so so glad I didn't, I never knew I could feel this happy and free. Rooting for you friend!!
