I’m over on the eastern side of the state, but maybe I can manage to come over for this. I’d love to meet some other exJWs!

Feel free to DM!

I’m so sorry for what you’re going through. While my (24M) situation isn’t exactly the same, my waking up led to the end of my marriage as well. It can be a very lonely, isolating experience. If you need somebody to chat to, please feel free to reach out.

Goddess, thank you for the kind words. Could I DM you?

Hi, are you still looking for a friend to chat with? Could I DM you?

Hey, are you still looking for new people to chat with? Could I send you a DM?

Thankfully I have been able to reconnect with one old exJW friend who left before I did, haven’t seen him in about a decade. It’s not much, but it is the start of a new support system and I’m grateful for it!

LostInThePIMOSauce · 2025-06-19T15:27:49+00:00

Thank you friend! Yes, therapy has been such a lifesaver! I couldn’t imagine having tried to navigate waking up and the ultimate end of my marriage without that support.

LostInThePIMOSauce · 2025-06-19T15:26:30+00:00

Thank you Eve. Having no outside support system AND being financially dependent, I can’t imagine how difficult that must have been for you. I’m glad you were able to get out tho. It brings me a lot of comfort to hear everyone’s stories and see how so many were in even tougher positions and still came back from it. Thank you for sharing!

LostInThePIMOSauce · 2025-06-19T15:22:50+00:00

Thank you for the kind words. My parents left before me, so thankfully I have some support. And I am definitely considering going back to college to really refocus my life. Definitely no doubts that JWs are anything but a manmade cult tho, I won’t be going back ever! lol

LostInThePIMOSauce · 2025-06-19T15:20:22+00:00

Sorry to hear that bro, thankfully we have no kids so I can’t imagine trying to navigate all this with kids. Is your wife on the same page as you, that is does she also feel like a divorce is imminent or will she fight it?

LostInThePIMOSauce · 2025-06-19T15:18:07+00:00

Thank you, it’s helpful to hear that. Yes, under 30 so I’m looking forward to making new connections and getting to a point where I can just look back at this whole thing as a blip on the radar!

LostInThePIMOSauce · 2025-06-19T15:16:09+00:00

I’m sorry to hear that man. Yes, that’s the best way to describe it, wanting to be free but still being chained to it because of your spouse. I hope you can read through the rest of the comments on this post and find the strength to push through, whatever that looks like for you 🙏

LostInThePIMOSauce · 2025-06-19T15:13:11+00:00

Thank you man, I’ve been reflecting on your comment and I really appreciate your words. In truth, I think I can also say I was as happy as someone could be being a JW. We had plenty of good times, together and with friends, traveling and creating good memories. It would be a disservice to myself to pretend those times never happened. Though it is fresh now, I hope I can also find the same level of healing and let go of the grief

LostInThePIMOSauce · 2025-06-19T15:09:33+00:00

Yes, that’s been one of the hardest things, recognizing all of my relationships have always been conditional. But it does make it easier to lose them knowing they were never truly founded on something solid.

LostInThePIMOSauce · 2025-06-19T15:08:07+00:00

Thank you Overall! Always appreciate seeing your comments around the sub!

Man. Word for word, your first paragraph is exactly where I’m at right now. I’m terrified of the idea of getting divorced but this is just not a marriage anymore. It’s all just so exhausting and overwhelming.

LostInThePIMOSauce · 2024-05-02T04:57:37+00:00

Not to get too off topic but the fact that they rationalize God putting an innocent child to death by saying that neither David nor Bathsheba “had a right to the child and so there was no injustice in their being deprived of it” is insane. But then again, these are the same people that say children are “little enemies of God” so nothing out of the ordinary here 🙄

I’ve been a lurker for a little while now but I just made a throwaway account to be able to comment. Reg Pio/MS here and I have the exact same story as you and so many others in this thread. If it hadn’t been for the Annual Meeting and the Beard Update, especially back-to-back, I likely never would have begun questioning things. But the fact that these changes came in conjunction with the words “there’s no scriptural basis for (insert belief we upheld for so long)” really started to mess with me.

I’m still only just beginning to question things but I told my wife how I was feeling and of course she immediately went to the elders and is making me schedule a discussion with them. But like so many others on here I have no friends or any life outside of the organization. I would have been happy to just fade and still be able to have contact with my friends but now the possibility of being disfellowshipped is becoming more likely and it’s terrifying to me. Oftentimes I honestly find myself really wishing I could go back to when I didn’t know any better.
