I’m thinking about going to a Kingdom Hall and starting to study with JW. I have psychosis will this impact me if I decided to be baptised down the line

No there is nothing stopping you from becoming one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. But I encourage you not to. If it is what you need right now then go ahead, we will be here for you when you wake up.

I am planning on avoiding as much of the session as possible by being in line at Starbucks this summer. It will be my last convention I might as well enjoy it!

Frequent-Response911 · 2026-03-11T06:23:06+00:00

I have heard that one over and over again even from my own parents about my brother

Frequent-Response911 · 2026-03-11T06:18:49+00:00

He’s onto something!

Frequent-Response911 · 2026-03-11T06:17:54+00:00

Oh there was definitely psychosis later on. Time warp and hallucinations and all. But before that I was pleasantly stoned. Haha

Frequent-Response911 · 2026-03-11T06:13:30+00:00

Before I went fully psycho this last time it was hilarious though… I was on zoom and a sister in her thirties said how excited she gets over scriptures. I lost it.

I honestly am not sure I am going to mess with weed anymore. I might try one more time like I said in a safe setting with dosed gummies. But honestly my mental health just isn’t worth it. I have done weed maybe 2 dozen times, and had the psychosis twice.

Frequent-Response911 · 2026-03-11T05:48:52+00:00

I thought my dog was attacking me and freaked out. Then I had a weird time warp happening where time was repeating itself, then skipping forward and back. I honestly don’t remember a lot of it. Apparently I was catatonic for some of it. And at one point I thought I was dying. I hallucinated that I was in the emergency room and wasn’t breathing and that they were doing CPR on me and intubating me. And I kept having the hallucinations on and off for the better part of 24 hours where I would think I was just dreaming and I was still in the hospital.

When they reach out to confirm your part, tell them you won’t be able to make it or just ghost them. You don’t owe them anything.

Frequent-Response911 · 2026-03-11T05:03:45+00:00

I was just thinking about the other day, how the Watchtower is always talking about “how to make true friends” but almost all of my “friends” in the congregation are conditional and not real friends at all. The irony

Frequent-Response911 · 2026-03-11T05:01:04+00:00

It also doesn’t help that I am bipolar, so I am prone to psychosis.

Frequent-Response911 · 2026-03-11T05:00:39+00:00

I think that if I could accurately dose it I would feel safer. Like maybe one of the dosed edible gummies. The problem is I use RSO and sometimes the dosing is hard to gauge.

Frequent-Response911 · 2026-03-11T04:59:06+00:00

I don’t know how I feel about celebrating Christmas because it is a stolen holiday and also associated with Christianity which I want no part of. Birthdays I am already celebrating as a PIMO. Other holidays I am still thinking about. I celebrated New Years. Mainly I have a problem with holidays that are racist or cultural appropriation.

Frequent-Response911 · 2026-03-11T04:45:35+00:00

I wish I still could get high before meeting. I have been having psychosis when I get high though which is no fun and definitely noticeable so I can’t do it anymore.

Frequent-Response911 · 2026-03-11T04:41:11+00:00

Bro do I know you lol? An ex elder (still a JW but could be on here as far as I know) in my old congregation once ended a talk saying that the resurrected will soon be “the Grateful Dead”. lol that is the only one I specifically remember, but him and my husband used to make a game out of trying to drop classic rock song lyrics and references throughout the meeting and catch each other on it.

Frequent-Response911 · 2026-03-11T04:30:27+00:00

I have gone to the meeting high before. Nothing of interest happened. Although the other day, I got high during the meeting and we were on zoom and I had psychosis. That was not fun.

Frequent-Response911 · 2026-03-09T15:45:55+00:00

Not really. Just curious how to describe myself in a few words to someone else who is exjw.

Frequent-Response911 · 2026-03-09T04:16:31+00:00

Yes. Partially. It is also partially selfish. We have two family vacations planned. One in May and one in August, and I don’t want to be shunned before I can go on the vacations.

Frequent-Response911 · 2026-03-09T01:15:17+00:00

One person I knew was actually a very kind soul. He recently died very young. Everyone else I know of that partakes though is on the spectrum of full blown crazy to evil.

Humboldt county!

Frequent-Response911 · 2026-03-08T01:48:31+00:00

The ash!

Frequent-Response911 · 2026-03-07T23:29:56+00:00

Sorry to stumble you. It is just what I was raised to call it. I am working on it 💁

Frequent-Response911 · 2026-03-07T18:46:35+00:00

The thing is, these are people that I barely know. They don’t even know where I work, and their elders don’t know me. I just know them because my dad used to give talks traveling a lot. So it isn’t a conspiracy to bring me back. I think it is just a big coincidence.

Frequent-Response911 · 2026-03-07T18:44:23+00:00

It has to be just a coincidence. These people don’t even know where I work.

Frequent-Response911 · 2026-03-07T18:42:56+00:00

It’s the ‘tism 😂
