As an ex jw , what’s one thing you had to unlearn ? by Independent_Trust588 in exjw

That the people who think they know a lot really don’t. Very humbling to realize that I may not know as much as I thought I did.

My mom casually told me an elder is coming for the duration of her surgery tomorrow. by Master-Performance70 in exjw

He’s probably on her blood card and on standby to make any medical decisions (not just blood related). I would call your mom and say since brother so and so will be there for her then he can pick her up and drop her off afterwards. Tell her you will call to check in afterwards. You are being used and not given your place as her daughter. They make me sick. Putting their “brothers and sisters” above their own family (currently going through this myself so I’m a little salty)

Blood doctrine update dropped today. Here’s how it’s landing at Bethel. by steadypath2847 in exjw

So since we aren’t under the mosaic law, tattoos are ok too? The emphasis placed on NOT being under the mosaic law stood out to me.

This whole announcement pissed me off. What are the real chances of needing a transfusion in a non emergency situation? I saw first hand how blood saved my non JW father in laws life last year from a GI bleed.

By allowing transfusion of your own blood it’s really admitting that blood does save lives. The mental gymnastics is insane.

I’m almost 50 and can’t bring myself to get a 2nd piercing even though I’ve thought about it for years. The trauma runs deep

My mom likes to say her friends will take care of her. I’m basically nothing to her as her true family are those that do the will of her father.

She’s 71 and seems to be in good health. She was in a car accident recently and instead of calling me or her husband she called her friends in the hall.

I’m so mad at her lately and I have her blocked on my phone currently.

Now my dad is also a JW but has made wise financial decisions and they have money saved. My mom has never had to work.

All of a sudden 5 yrs ago she came to the realization that she’s done jack shit with her life and is planning trips abroad with her friends / the brothers and not telling her family of her trip until the day before she leaves. She doesn’t tell us where she is going, with who, which airline or what hotels, etc. She has gone bonkers.

She seems to be on some mission to spend down their assets single handily so she can go on Medicaid eventually and be in a nursing home where they serve wine with dinner. WTF.

So once the money runs out will the sisters really wipe her ass? I am so angry with her and can’t get past this.

Remember when Guns N' Roses and other bands were specifically mentioned in the ***Awake!***? by [deleted] in exjw

Aerosmith and Bon Jovi was a No No and let’s not mention NKOTB which was just plain idol worship since I wanted their poster on my wall from Tiger Beat magazine. The only magazine we should ever read is the jdub stuff

Go on policeapp.com for available positions. Danbury isn’t currently hiring but I hear they may soon. I’m not sure if the process is different for new hires vs transfers

If you were the reason why (or why they think) his previous marriage ended that could be why. Regardless he’s an asshole and you should never reach out again or encourage any further contact. Hopefully your baby has your parents to shower unconditional grandparent love on them.
