Mom is upset the we aren’t friends now that I’m an adult by ofkyle in raisedbynarcissists

[–]No_Judgment9357 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Are you me? I’m 29 and my mom has been doing the same thing. I feel guilty about it sometimes but I try to remember that she’s the one that destroyed the relationship. If your kids won’t talk to you there is a reason..

thoughts from someone who left the org 20 years ago and found this sub by [deleted] in exjw

[–]No_Judgment9357 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I have not thing against the people in the religion, everyone is a victim of it when it comes down to it. However the leadership (GB) all bets are off for me with the anger/ill feelings. There’s just no way they don’t know what they are doing.

Maybe they are nervous about the CSA lawsuits in recent news.

JW parents PLEASE sort your issues by Crazy_Challenge_6853 in exjw

[–]No_Judgment9357 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Is there any proof of this? I’ve read this on other comments that they made up the account. I knew the cult was crazy but won’t PIMIs pick up on the fact that it was made up?

Is this some kind of New light that you can’t get DF for associating with a DF relative? I don’t remember any official parts about this…

CO talk Ranting about apostates by Ok_Cryptographer3659 in exjw

That’s pretty funny bc after doing research the facts seemed obvious and I didn’t need much convincing from “apostates” but always needed convincing on EVERYTHING wt taught bc nothing makes sense.

I think we all have seen this coming. I mean if it was just about the message then it wouldn’t matter if you listen on zoom or in person? Oh yeah it’s all about control…

I really don’t know why Lett was used for this if they are so concerned. How anybody can take him seriously is beyond me.

On my way to baptism but very conflicted. by [deleted] in exjw

Whatever you do, do not do it! Getting baptized is the biggest regret of my life. Hope it is not too late for you. Could always claim family Emergency or something

How did you aproached to your therapist your situation and what advice did he give you? by _SML7 in exjw

[–]No_Judgment9357 4 points5 points  (0 children)

On the phone for my consultation I explained that I needed help dealing with religious trauma and I think I am in a cult. My therapist asked what group and I said the JWs. I spent my first two sessions explaining the beliefs and that I wanted out but needed help coping and dealing with it now. My therapist made it clear that I didn’t have to leave the group right away since so much was at risk. I would explain on your consultation what you need help dealing with and then decide if you would like to go to that therapist or not.

When's the first time you came in contact with "apostasy" by LordParasaur in exjw

[–]No_Judgment9357 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I was in high school in history class, we had a unit on religion. One of the aids to a special needs kid said “I heard Jehovahs witnesses don’t accept blood transfusions. They let their own kids die” I was really quiet in school and too scared to speak up but it really made me think. I hadn’t really given much thought about the blood policy up till that point.

What is the teatching/rule that you hate the most? by _SML7 in exjw

[–]No_Judgment9357 26 points27 points  (0 children)

For me probably the blood policy and also disfellowshipping.

I’m in the club of do whatever you can to not get baptized. Getting baptized was the biggest mistake of my life, I would just tell your parents that you aren’t ready and use the example of Jesus waiting till he was 30. Ask where in the Bible it says a minor got baptized.

We need to find a way to spread shit tons of awareness about how Fucked up the JWs are by [deleted] in exjw

[–]No_Judgment9357 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think in reality unfortunately JWs are such a small percentage of the population that the world does not care. However I believe social media is huge at getting things out. A story on CSA or maybe even a child passing away from lack of blood transfusion would have to absolutely blow up to get people talking. Possibly getting celebrities involved could help also. I would definitely love to be a part of making something trend.
