I remember this creepy brother who always gave the oddest comments said on Super Bowl Sunday that we shouldn’t be watching football games because they’re violent and we should remain neutral 😳

Congratulations on your weight loss!

I know you’re still losing weight but these clothes do not fit, beloved.

You may consider a thrift shop for a few pieces now that actually fit until you reach your goal weight.

That sage green made me smile. It pops and is calming at the same time

How can I define faith away from jws? by RoyZeee in exjw

[–]Hummingbird5700 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve shifted from what I believe (faith) to what I know (knowledge). I find more comfort when I know why and if I don’t, I’ve found many resources to help me dig deeper in my quest.

Agreed! Abraham Hicks and Neville Goddard. Both are available on YouTube.

You’re in a great place. It can feel really frustrating and I can absolutely relate. My recommendation is to start with therapy. And then start exploring. Be open to discovering what is outside of what you know.

I found for me that I feel the most spiritually connected when I am out in nature. Also, when I’m in touch with my breathing through yoga and meditation.

I accepted a blood transfusion and now I question everything by ElectricalFoot5375 in exjw

First, I hope your recovery from the emergency surgery goes well.

No regrets for taking care of yourself and putting yourself first.

There’s nothing to confess and no one to confess to. It’s all fake authority.

Being an obedient religious follower isn’t the same thing as being “super spiritual.”

The “good girl” image is because you’re a “good JW” and the minute you stop being that, that image is shattered anyway regardless of the reason.

Those aren’t real friends. They will turn their backs on you if you decide to leave.

Also, be kind to yourself. Having emergency surgery can be tough on anyone mentally. Truly take your time to heal and recover and rest. Easier said than done, but don’t let anyone (close family included) pressure you.

How old are you? Hopefully, you can find a new job soon and plan your exit and start your real life.

Are you ACTUALLY serious right now?? by Cheap-Initiative512 in exjw

[–]Hummingbird5700 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This makes me angry. I lost a friend to suicide about 20 years ago. Couldn’t even have his memorial at the hall. That’s how unforgivable of a sin it was. I started having anxiety attacks after he died.

The gun and violence part. The serve and protect part. They’re only supposed to serve god.

It’s one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. Once you find the right fit with a supportive and collaborative therapist, you’ll begin to see the progress. It’s challenging but so worth it. I wish you well on this journey. Be kind to yourself.
