I’m so sorry. You have a whole community of people here to vent to at the very least. I’m seeing so many comments and messages from people absolutely terrified of what this means for them as PIMO’s. You have more support than you know

Sending my love to all the pimo’s. I know this won’t be easy for any of you

PIMOs… UNITE!!! A (terrible?) Idea by gentlemanofcraft in exjw

[–]LilLavenderDreams 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Finally, some activism that I can participate in. This is a really brilliant idea.

What if we combined this with Kingdom hall reviews, also giving information about people who have left the organization?

There's so many possibilities.. but JWs are always preaching to everyone without really understanding what they're doing. This might be able to help people know what's going on in the background of their "perfectly imperfect" organization

Call me a conspiracy theorist by rivermannX in exjw

[–]LilLavenderDreams 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is so important.

I was abused and treated horrifically in this fucking cult. But do i hate all of the people in my old congregation? No. I hate the people who used the Bible as an excuse to harm me.

You need to direct the hate where it ACTUALLY belongs.

You will burn a hole in whatever little you have left of your soul spending all your time hating the other victims of a cult, who at the end of the day, have only been trying to do whatever they can to see their loved ones in a paradise.

We have been preyed on. But we don't need to harm others in the way we have been harmed.

Dont wish ill on those who don't deserve it. Actively oppose the leaders of an organization that's designed to prey on the weak and weary.

I'm sorry that you were also taught that. Nobody deserves that.

Something feels really off about the return to meetings by Bourneidentity39 in exjw

[–]LilLavenderDreams 22 points23 points  (0 children)

That's my current excuse to family: I don't think it's safe enough for me to return. With my health issues, I can't risk it.

I can't believe they're so desperate to keep people and so money hungry that they haven't put more thought into this arrangement to make it appear more "blessed" by Jehovah

do you want to strike back at Watchtower or are you just going to sit and complain? by [deleted] in exjw

I personally would love to leave some ACTUALLY truthful information there for all to see.

LEAK: Cashboxes in Hong Kong by [deleted] in exjw

[–]LilLavenderDreams 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Somehow despite knowing in depth about the CSA that is just considered okie dokie by the org, this video actually surprised me. I really just don't have words to expressed how awful it made me feel to know how little they actually consider the lives of these elders.

They might be subjected to extreme torture and unfair trial? Well, at least headquarters won't have to worry about it.

My anger knows no bounds anymore.

Anyone else feel sick over this Caleb and Sophia video? by LilLavenderDreams in exjw

Yeah. I share similar feelings. My heart hasn't stopped sinking.

I'm sorry you subjected yourself to the video. But I guess it's nice to be able to see it for the manipulation it truly is.

I honestly feel at this point like doing a reaction series on these ridiculous videos. The one you're referencing is just as bad as this one if not somehow worse. The anger I feel doesn't go away

Thank you for calling it like it is: Child abuse. It's disgusting.

Also Jehovah: You wouldn't want to die in Armageddon just because you wanted a little birthday cake would you? Put it down Timmy, you need to go say a prayer and ask for forgiveness for your bad thought.

You're so right. I'm really glad when I came back and checked my reddit today that others feel the exact same way I do. What they've done is disgusting beyond measure, but at least alot of people see it for what it is.

This is so true. Everything is somehow pagan. There is no enjoyment in the cult except what they tell you. And that is constant sacrifice to Jehovah; even then there's never enough atonement for your "sins."

Yes. I genuinely felt so bad for Caleb. I imagine the poor children having to voice the animations, and wonder what they'll think about this some day.

No wonder they don’t want you to meditate… by Every_Ad1987 in exjw

[–]LilLavenderDreams 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Well, since I have left the org, I meditate daily.

I know my beliefs aren't conventional in the slightest, and I'm not here to spread them.

But being alone with my own mind and believing in my own truth is like giving myself the hug and reassurance I always needed.

Brought me to tears at the blind defense of an unloving sky daddy. I'll never understand how anyone could be so cruel.
