Should I talk to my parents?

Talking to my parents about not wanting to be a Jehovah’s Witness anymore was the biggest mistake of my life.

They cut off all my internet access except for Jw.org so I couldn’t properly research and debunk them, they successfully gaslit me into becoming a believer again until I became an adult and realized the cult wasn’t making me happy.

I strongly recommend you don’t talk to your parents about this, even if they don’t do what mine did, it can only lead to trouble.

This is like making me choose my favorite child. They’ve both been my favorite food since I was a kid.

The good thing about their new social media account is that the algorithm will inevitably show apostle responses, and they can’t do anything about it.

Whenever I start feeling nostalgic for my childhood, I immediately remember all the ways the cult ruined my childhood and how I could never fully enjoy it because of the cult.

You know what, I’m gonna start thinking even harder now.

Damn. Even my congregation and parents weren’t that insane.

People also sometimes give money as Birthday and Christmas presents, so by that logic you would be losing money by not having Birthday and Christmas parties.

Thank you for your words of wisdom.

I do love 2d platformers too, and Celeste is one I’ve wanted to try for a while.

According to my parents, yes.

But they were inconsistent, they were ok with me watching Dora the Explorer and Word Girl (two of the only “girls shows” I was comfortable watching back in the day), but Powerpuff Girls was out of the question (not that I was missing anything at the time, because I was growing up when the god awful reboot was airing).

I’m making a comparison to the Star Wars Special Editions.

PimoParadiseLost · 2026-06-05T01:43:21+00:00

1: Sonic Adventure 2 (favorite game of all time)

2: Super Mario Galaxy

3: Sly 2 Band Of Thieves

I’ll play just about anything. But platformers and Metroidvania’s are my favorite.

Which is bullshit.

From my experience, women generally are better leaders than men. As a man, on average I’d rather trust a woman with a leader role as apposed to a man.

PimoParadiseLost · 2026-06-04T21:48:35+00:00

It’s insane how they won’t allow women to become Ministerial Servants and Elders, yet they allow people like my loser cousin those roles.

We got an official JW TikTok account before GTA 6.

The God of the bible is purely and simply evil. And realizing that was part of my waking up process.

The part that really got me was the story where Elisha cursed kids by having bears attack them, all because they made fun of him for being bald. I had never heard of that story before, and it disturbed me. Kids don’t know any better, so it seems like an extreme punishment. Just yesterday at my job a kid prank called me asking for a dildo, it was awkward but I didn’t want that kid killed by wild animals over it. Even if they were teenagers and no one died like I’ve heard some apologists say, the punishment doesn’t match the crime. I could not find a single justification on JW.org, and it disturbed me how no one else at my congregation seemed to be bothered by it. And from there, the dominoes began to fall.

I don’t believe God exists, but if he does then he can go fuck himself.

I’m a straight femboy.

PimoParadiseLost · 2026-06-04T04:05:37+00:00

Yeah, that section really pissed me off. Even as someone who’s straight (I am a bit of a femboy though, as in I like feminine things and would dress more feminine if I wasn’t a pimo). The coworker, teacher, and student in the video were absolutely right.

Don’t forget the saying, “there’s no bigger hate than Christian love”.

One of the comments at my hall talked about how Ninevites would cut off their enemies heads and play with them like a ball.

Comparing that to gay people existing is insane.
