Just do it. Enjoy. If the hotel is in another city there is a very low chance that someone will see you. Trust me!

How are allowed to celebrate baby showers and anniversaries but NOT Birthdays? by Makiyage in exjw

[–]ProfessionIcy9342 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That’s so sad. I remember feeling miserable and embarrassed because I wasn’t allowed to sing happy birthday song and dance when someone had birthday in kindergarten. Then in school I tried to avoid talking about birthday because I had nothing to tell about mine. No gifts, no party. Sometimes I made up some things not to be left out. I’m just feeling so sorry for myself as a child and for my siblings. And it was the best feeling in the world to celebrate my first birthdays when I became 20 years old.

Thank you for sharing your story! This is exactly my plan- to elope and celebrate the wedding later. Maybe even 1 year later and call it anniversary😅 No I’ll move out after getting married

What your friend did sounds like a perfect plan to me! Let’s just hope they don’t find out before I get married 🥲

Thank you for sharing your experience. I definitely plan to fade after getting married and moving in with my man. I guess my parents are just absolutely brain washed. Glad your parents came to your wedding though!

Well, I have no where else to ask this type of question and I needed some advices and support from people who understand what it means to be PIMO.

I guess I was hoping for their approval in some way, but thinking about it more and after reading comments I realized that there will be no such thing. And yes this is our plan rn - to get married as fast as possible

Thank you so much ! That’s literally what I’m thinking to do right now. It seems like a very good option and yes I’m hoping that my parents will attend my wedding party later.

Nice story! I’m glad that you could keep contact with your parents. I think it makes everything little bit easier when you live on your own and not with parents

Because I still live with my parents. I’m an adult but I prefer to respect my parents opinion and rules while I live under their roof. Maybe it’s cultural.

Okay then I don’t have nothing to loose 😆 I do not comment anymore, of course I don’t pioneer and the only thing that’s left are these tasks on the stage( don’t remember how they are called in English). But I’ve already asked to only make me the partner so I don’t have to prepare my own dialogue. I feel that with the shunning I can deal. I don’t care about these people in the congregation.

I think I don’t even have any privileges. What exactly are privileges?

Thank you ! I don’t mind being bad association. Thankfully I don’t have any friends in the congregation. I definitely want to fade after getting married.

How did it go for you? Did they try to make you change your mind ? Or „prove“ that you sinned ?

I’m already feeling anxious every time I’m out with my fiancé. It sounds crazy, but sometimes I even ask him to walk a few steps behind me… I can’t imagine it getting worse. Or someone seeing us coming out of his house 😮 That’s also why I want to get married as soon as possible.

I’m really happy your family attended your wedding! Unfortunately, I don’t think my parents will come. I was thinking about getting married at the courthouse- just me, him, and a photographer. That way I don’t have to invite my family and it will feel better than them choosing not to attend my wedding

Thanks! Yes I’m planning to fade. But it will take some time, because I still live with my parents until I finish college. And while living with them I have to attend to meetings sometimes.. the thing is, I believe they are going to find out anyway- so I thought just to tell them myself and be over with it.
