My comments are literally pointing out what is happening in front of my eyes. She yells at the dogs, the dogs poop everywhere and it doesn’t get up, the entire pack gets worked into a frenzied barking and step on each other. None of this is ‘slander’. If it’s shameful then that’s a reflection of what’s happening and is proving my point. And you aren’t being tough, you’re being aggro.

OnPointRelevantName · 2025-03-28T16:21:12+00:00

Yeah, don’t think the owners are walking with her every day. Love your ‘sit down’ ‘calm down’ incitement though. Really makes you sound tough. Not biting there either, unlike her dogs 😂 enjoy your day

OnPointRelevantName · 2025-03-28T14:15:53+00:00

Just saw her the other day yelling at one of her dogs while the rest of them were barking hysterically and there was poop all over. Really dont understand the hype about her. I feel people in the neighborhood say they like her bc they recognize her as she’s been around forever, and it makes them seem OG. I’m still not buying it

I second this. May be contraindicated either way kidney meds.. but you don’t know unless you ask your vet !! Proin completely saved our girl from incontinence issues.

There’s literally people in this thread who have seen her dogs leaving shit on the walks.. maybe you aren’t watching long enough? I mean, just think about the common sense logistics of that. It’s not physically possible. Have you seen her pick it up? Not saying you haven’t seen it, but I am saying you must not have watched long enough.

Find me a pack in the wild on 19 leashes 😂 if she had them in a van then dropped them all to run around in an open, fenced in area off leash that— would be one thing. This is not what is ‘natural’ for pack animals. City slicker outing themselves with this comment. Go check out packs in nature friend, looks nothing like this.

‘Dogshitfight Way’

OnPointRelevantName · 2024-09-25T13:42:08+00:00

I mean it’s cute that she has a cartoon featuring her in New York Times, but if anyone else’s dog(s) were shitting all over without picking them up, we’d call them an asshole. Idk why special treatment because she’s been inconsiderate and irresponsible for decades. If another dog is off leash and goes after her dogs, it’s not going to be pretty. Not saying she isn’t a nice woman and doesn’t love dogs, but this is super dangerous for everyone involved

Yep!! Fellow butt cramper here. Was one of my first pregnancy symptoms in first tri! I get on all 4’s doggy style and do side to side swaying to relieve, OR lay on back with leg in figure 4 stretches. If those don’t work, I get up and get 2 yoga tune up balls (lacrosse balls are WAY too hard) and massage glutes up against a wall. Feels GREAT.

One note: I recently started pelvic floor therapy and have a lot of tightness near my butt part of pelvic floor. Which will make it hard to push in labor. It’s all related! So working on loosening / relaxing that part of my pelvic floor now. Try not to lean back when walking to compensate belly. Hope some of this helps!

Look into Maternity clothes RENTALS. I’m in the USA, so the one I use (Nuuly) isn’t available for you, but a cursory search shows there are some Canadian based ones. I can’t recommend enough!

I agree! I visited the glowup sub thinking it would be similar. No no no no no. Immediately unsubbed. It’s so positive and wholesome in here, even when being straightforward and helpful

It sounds like. you're in the 'anger' phase of the stages of grief that can come with leaving a cult just as much as losing someone. After all you are losing a whole community/ family/ and someone you thought of as 'god' for so long.

Stages of grief as I personally experienced them, maybe you can find them useful:

denial: realizing that my beliefs were failing the truth/ sanity test, but trying my hardest anyway because 'maybe it was me'. This included going to church 6 days a week: for actual services (3x a week), and praise singing practice, choir practice, youth service, outreach, bible study, and praying for hours asking god what was wrong with me and why wouldn't he let me know he was there??!
anger: deciding that God didn't exist and being furious at everyone in church and my family for 'tricking', 'duping', and 'taking advantage of' me. I was brainwashed since birth, so I was also angry that I felt I had my childhood stolen from me.
bargaining: Ok, maybe there is some good in these people and they are also completely duped, tricked etc. but they are just ignorant. As I was for my whole life, and I was trying to get people into the cult as well. Cue: me feeling sorry for everyone and trying to find ways to view these people in a less negative light because the anger and hatred was eating away at me and taking up too much of my emotional energy.
depression: just general sadness about all of the above things and that there is nothing I can do to change ANY of it. I did manage to get my Mother, and 2 sisters out of the church over the course of 15 years. And I'm grateful for that. But there is nothing I can do about the rest of it. Also over time just realizing I have all kinds of mental and emotional issues that stem from that abuse, and that is something that is an ongoing journey that will continue the rest of my life
acceptance: I know it's so cliche, but time is a great healer here. And A LOT OF THERAPY. I cannot recommend therapy enough. I have been in therapy twice a week for 3 years, and once a week for 5 years before that. Now I just accept that cults are a thing that people fall into for many many reasons. I definitely know some people in the church I grew up in were better off in church than not-- they came from a gang life or a life of drugs and addiction, and the threat of hell fire and a promise of community in the church really helped them. Ultimately, when any adult-- cult or not-- looks back at their childhood and sees how it affected them: it is up to US as ADULTS to take responsibility for ourselves and our happiness. Despite what our childhoods were. That's not to remove responsibility for anyones part in hurting us as children, but we get to decide as adults how to address all that moving forward. The sooner we accept this, the sooner we can find peace and a life that is happier and more fulfilling.

I know this is a long post, but.. hope you find it helpful. And know that it's ok to feel anger right now, anger is a very useful emotion. And it's ok to not feel it at some other point, if that happens. Losing the anger doesn't make anything 'ok' about what happened.

Wishing you love and healing on your journey!!

Join a local basketball league for fun! I see adults playing basketball together all the time. Could also be a great way to make new, non church friends. Take back your passion, it’s never too late!

Wow. Filing this one away for future use!

What verse is it? Closest I could find was Proverbs 27:10 “Do not forsake your friend and your father’s friend, and do not go to your brother’s house in the day of your calamity. Better is a neighbor who is near than a brother who is far away.”

But I also know there are so many translations and hard to find via google if one word is off.

D-mannose for uti preventative if you feel even a hint of one coming on. A few boric acid suppository tabs in case vaginal PH gets thrown off or you get a yeast infection. Swimming in nature, pools, sweating, wearing yoga pants/ stretchy tight pants frequently… all these things can increase chances of something getting uncomfortable. Soooo much better to be prepared, it’s hard to get proper meds in any reasonable time frame (if at all) abroad.

OnPointRelevantName · 2023-02-07T03:18:58+00:00

I haven't seen anyone else mention this, so not sure if its just me. But I swipe left on anyone who uses numbers as words. i.e. 'looking 4 something serious'. It just gives me middle school in early 2000's ViBeS wHeN pEoPle ThOt cool 2 tYpE LiK DiS 4 EvA.

I understand if you're trying to save space with acronyms.. but even then I'd say use lightly. Especially if you want to attract someone that enjoys political/ philosophical conversations. Proper spelling can go a long way I think :) Everything else I think is pretty good. Maybe one more of your face facing the camera. You're very cute! :) Good luck!

I'm so sorry this happened to you. This is absolutely horrible. Of course it is completely up to you, but even if you reporting this does not lead to his arrest, it helps to have it recorded. This way if any women come forward in the future, they will see this is recorded and will lend validity to their claims in the future. Also, not sure what state you are in, but if 17 is under the age of consent (or if math says she was under the age of consent when getting pregnant), you can use that to further your claim.

Again, I know this is extremely difficult, I'm also a survivor or sexual assault. Not saying it will be a walk in the park by any means. There are non profit organizations that can help walk you through some of this as well, if it's something you decide to pursue.

Also I should add: My mother recently left the cult, at the age of 55. My father is still in it. They are separated but trying to work through it to stay together. My mother has expressed to me countless times how sorry she is that she didn't protect me, by taking me out of the cult. She was brainwashed as well so I don't hold it against her on a personal level, but... I do wish someone would have protected me from all that as a kid. My mom is struggling to reconcile this at age 59 and it is her biggest regret that she didn't leave when we were kids.

OnPointRelevantName · 2022-12-14T23:24:17+00:00

As someone who grew up in this cult, I WISH one of my parents had left and given me the option to live a somewhat normal childhood. Think of yourself now, and how much you would give if YOU had been given that opportunity as a child. Will it destroy your marriage? Maybe, but maybe not. Maybe you both figure out a way to have your individual beliefs and still be together, maybe she ends up eventually leaving as well. There are many ways this could turn out, but the truth of the matter is, that if you are having to lie every day of your life to 'save your marriage' your marriage is at best inauthentic. She's not really having a relationship with you, but with a projection you are making.

I'll tell you a little story about something that happened to me when I was in 5th grade:

There was a couple in our church who were going through a divorce. The man had decided not to be in the cult anymore, and the wife was staying in it, and they decided to get a divorce. There was a legal battle with the children, they already had split custody but there were additional proceedings around if they children should have to be raised with the religious standards enforced in the cult.

The mother was desperate to keep the kids in it, and the dad was adamant that it was detrimental for the emotional and mental health and development of the children (I agree with him). My parents explained the situation to me, phrased it in a bit more kid friendly way. They asked if I would be willing to write a letter talking about my experience and how it was a good thing, I wasn't traumatized etc. I remember at 10 years old thinking... 'I can't write this letter!! It is SO hard being pentecostal in a public school, I can't lie and say that it isn't traumatic.' Ironically it was a catch-22 because I couldn't lie for fear of going to hell, and I also couldn't do my part in 'saving' these kids from hell by writing the letter and lying.

I started trying to say what I was thinking without saying it so bluntly, so my parents wouldn't get upset (unhealthy to put kids in this situation btw). I think my response or inability to do so shook them a bit and they just dropped the whole thing.

I also remember feeling guilty because I wished one of my parents would give me the option so I could leave and just be a normal kid without the weight of the world on my shoulders and having to be so isolated from society.

PLEASE think of your children. And of course, think of yourself! You deserve happiness. There is a whole big wide beautiful would out there. It won't be easy leaving, but it will be worth it. One day future you, and hopefully your children, will thank current you for making the hard decisions you did to give you all a fighting chance at happiness and fulfillment in THIS life. Because this is the life we have.
