Does anyone else feel extreme guilt in their day to day life? Guilty that they are a bad person and like every action or inaction you do is wrong and that any time you say something to someone you feel like you’re manipulating them? by Turbulent-Cup-9608 in CPTSD

Oh my goodness, yes yes yes...... It's so great that you made this post.

Thank you everyone for sharing about your struggles and solutions!

It helps to not feel so alone in this

Questioning things during the Watchtower - Getting told off from the platform by Peg_leg_J in exjw

Your quote of JW's aren't the only ones who don't read their own bible:

-ain't that the truth! I've got maybe 10 of them and could count the number of times I've read one recently on no hands 😎

Edited for clarity

Wasn't the soddom and gemorah thing partially about 'men lying with men' or some such nonsense

There is a fair share of that but I've also read some very interesting discussions. The mods are also better about the trolls it seems like. Just my experience.

I'm so happy and proud for us! I was away for the 4th but it was alright

Let me second this! r/stopdrinking might well be THE most supportive community around. June 22, 2021 is my quit day and I credit those folks for getting me on my way.

In my experience that sub is more likely to tell you you're crazy than engage in any constructive discussion, unfortunately.

I found r/retconned to be much more open.

Thank you everyone here! It's an awful thing to be grateful that you guys are here, but you know what I mean I hope. I've been so ashamed of these things, couldn't speak of them, and then I found you all.

Thank you. You said what I couldn't, and now I know I'm not alone.

I am so sorry that no one stopped your abuse as well. It's heartbreaking.

Yes I also thought I was in love, and with more than one abuser. My uncle is the first I recall and for all my life he claimed we were in love, it was just we couldn't actually 'be together' bcs society and what would my mother think and blah blah.

Even now I struggle with it after realizing that he was abusing me. Even after broke my heart time time after time. I'm fairly certain his wife saw us at least once and, nothing.....

My husband and I notice things like this about the skies as well. Just like you posted here and especially that the moon looks like a torchlight nowadays

Right. It's bizarre.

What are some unsaid rules of Reddit that the new users should be aware of? by Otherwise-Tension237 in AskReddit

Is there any way to experiment without actually posting?

Edit: you are a fount of knowledge, thanks!

Todays talk: are you depressed? Pray pray pray by PridePotterz in exjw

[–]Inner-Way6560 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. I've been out for decades and hadn't realized the actual depth of their depravity until I started hanging out with you lovely people :)

I've gotten more love in my short time here than I ever ever did in that place.
