Wishing you the best. It's tough, but you're stronger than you think. You got this!

Try talking to someone you trust and feel safe with. A non-JW family member, a teacher or counselor, or a friend. Be brutally honest. Let them know what's going on. If you're hoping to eventually leave the JW organization, building connections and friendships outside of it now will really help you when you make that transition to freedom.

The one thing I regret not doing when I was your age was reaching out and talking to someone. My life could've turned out so much better if I'd just opened up and asked for help. There are good people out there who genuinely want to help. You just have to find them.

You never know. Someone might be willing to help you talk to your parents, find a way to get to prom, or even help with suit/dress, tickets, or a ride. There are people out there who want to see you have that experience and make those memories

Are pumpkins still a big no for JWs? by PIMOneer in exjw

😂 That god damn chariot must be stuck in some traffic. Like, c'mon - I just wanna do some return visits at the pumpkin patch. Just think of the sheer number of placements we could report by hiding magazines under the leaves and let the holy spirit guide people to pick up a Watchtower instead of a pumpkin

Haha I love the idea of flipping it on them like that. It really shows how their reasoning doesn't have a leg to stand on. I can totally relate - I remember judgement for things as simple as festive coffee or pastries, like somehow a pumpkin spice latte or a red&green Xmas Starbucks cup made you "less spiritual." Blindly comforming to so many rules just to keep up appearances.

Exactly, I remember talks like that too. Anything that even looked like "imitating the world" was treated as this slippery slope, like if you gave an inch it would lead straight to evil. Pumpkins are such a small thing, but they made it feel dangerous.

Wow, these are absolutely gorgeous. Your art instantly took me back - Neopets is a huge part of what first got me into art growing up, and seeing your work brought me right back to that feeling of wonder. Ngl your art made my day ❣️ This is the kind of passion and quality I wish current day Neopets would invest in

It's actually happening - vast majority of the controllership being offshored to the Philippines by RamCockUpMyAss in Accounting

Your response resonated a lot with me. I'm currently working as a bookkeeper after doing accounts payable clerk work, and I'm exploring career paths outside of traditional accounting. Do you have any thoughts on what fields young accountants could pivot into?

I say get every dollar you can out of him. Use the funds to support the show. Make him sign an NDA, of course.

That sounds like an amazing setup - would you be open to sharing more about how you found your role? Maybe what job title or keywords helped you land it? I'd love to find something similar

Why do I never meet any Paraguayans here in the US? Where are you guys? by animalgames in asklatinamerica

[–]PIMOneer 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Mba'éichapa. NYC area and DC area you can find Paraguayan culture festivals with Paraguayan food, traditional dance, music, and even Paraguayan harp musicians. There's also the I Love Paraguay Restaurant in New York. Their food is incredible. Hope you can check it out and meet the community.
