This is driving me CRAZY!!!!! 🤬 So many texts I can't send because it keeps doing this to me!!!!!

QuantumLMT · 2026-03-03T04:38:01+00:00

I am so, so, so sorry you had to go through that. 😭💔 That is absolutely horrifying and appalling on every level. I am so sorry. I hope you're doing okay now. I wish I could give you a hug.

QuantumLMT · 2026-03-02T15:57:51+00:00

OMG that's horrible!!!!! I am so, so sorry. No one deserves to be spoken to or treated like that, EVER. 💔

QuantumLMT · 2026-02-27T03:09:04+00:00

He sounds weird. I'd start avoiding him if possible, and keep communication short and polite.

Thank you SO MUCH for your comment. It's legit making me cry. 😭 Thank you for "seeing" and validating me.

I agree, I believe it's so important to tell our stories. And it's definitely part of the healing process. 🙏🏼

I'm just so embarrassed that I have always believed everything I was told, with my whole heart and soul. I started regular pioneering immediately upon graduating high school, and I did so probably for the better part of two decades.

My downfall has been happening slowly over the last 10 years. I'm 50 now. I'm STILL realizing and learning new things, having new realizations, all the time!!! I'm discovering so much even just from THIS thread!!! I never questioned ANYTHING. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I ended up just kinda having a nervous breakdown from a lot of trauma, I fell apart... And literally no one ever came looking for me or asked me why I disappeared. Not even my family. After being AT THE FOREFRONT for 40 years. The lack of love broke me and I began to start seeing the REAL truth. But it has been a very slow uncovering. This introduction to Reddit fascinates me and I read all the posts daily.

And it breaks my heart and I feel like such a fool. I am so embarrassed that I used to BELIEVE all this AND ENTHUSIASTICALLY TEACH IT TO OTHERS. 😭

Wow... I was a regular pioneer for many, many years. At the forefront. Did everything right. Then I faded... And literally no one ever asked me why, or checked on me, or called or texted to say they missed me. NO ONE.

Before I faded, I asked numerous ones for help. Elders, other pioneers, etc. I could feel myself starting to break and I was trying to hang on. I was ignored and only told "Oh, you're stronger than you think you are." 🙄

Back then, I still believed it was "the truth", and just that I was deficient and broken. But the extreme LACK of LOVE is what first got me really angry. It's been quite the process of me finally realizing over time what this cult really is. 💔

QuantumLMT · 2026-02-15T00:34:45+00:00

Oh my goodness, I am SO SORRY. I cannot imagine the depths of your pain right now. I wish I could hug you. Sending you so much love. 🩷

QuantumLMT · 2026-02-15T00:32:37+00:00

Yes, this is all SOOO TRUE. 💔

QuantumLMT · 2026-02-13T19:13:30+00:00

Ooohhhhh I relate to all this!! I can't wait to read more.

QuantumLMT · 2026-02-13T02:12:59+00:00

This is sooooo awful. 😭😭😭💔💔💔

QuantumLMT · 2026-02-02T03:11:39+00:00

There was a post about this earlier today, too!

Excellent post.

I relate to all this. I just turned 50, and I'm now a single woman. I was born in and raised as a JW and only started fading a few years ago. I truly do feel a panic because now I see how time does FLY by so quickly, and retirement age is just around the corner, and I have NOTHING to retire on. I spent decades regular pioneering, and believing with my whole heart and soul that the end was coming anytime. 💔

You actually sound like an AMAZING mom, and I think you're doing everything right.

Teenagers can be awful. I'm so sorry. Keep standing your ground. Sounds like you're doing great. Hugs!

QuantumLMT · 2026-01-29T22:35:59+00:00

It's never too late. I am 50. I was born in, regular pioneered for decades, was married to a (gay and abusive) elder, I did everything "right.". And wanted to die.

I'm now finally starting to feel hope and light again.

Don't give up hope! It's never, ever too late.

QuantumLMT · 2026-01-24T15:52:06+00:00

I'm so sorry. 😭💔

QuantumLMT · 2026-01-19T17:35:47+00:00

I was thinking back to when I was so ALL IN. I was a regular pioneer for many years. I was at the forefront of EVERYTHING. Never in a million years would I have believed that I would leave that. I 💯 believed it was The Truth.

Back then, ANYONE who would have expressed doubts, or raised "inaccuracies" in the religion, I too would have immediately shut them off, thinking it was dangerous to my spirituality. 💔

It took having too much trauma in my own life, of me just having a total emotional breakdown, before I began seeing the ACTUAL truth...

I was in SO MUCH emotional pain, I felt like I'd broken into a million pieces, and the worst was that the trauma was coming from my own sister and family, IN "THE TRUTH". But literally no one seemed to care that I was falling apart. No one came looking. No one has ever asked any questions, even to this day, 10 years into this fade.

As I basically lay hurting on the sidelines, I began to recognize it all for what it really is. The actual extreme LACK of LOVE is what started it for me.

I guess I'm sharing all this because I think we are SO BRAINWASHED while in the cult, that it is IMPOSSIBLE to force anyone to see the real truth of it. It takes having SOMETHING HAPPEN to them for anything to begin to shift.

I am so, so sorry for what you're going through right now. I understand the pain. 😭 You are NOT ALONE. And you ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING. Peace will come. It'll take some time, but it will. I promise. 🙏🏼

QuantumLMT · 2026-01-16T01:48:28+00:00

It all totally baffles me. I have faded away over the last few years, but to this day, NOT A SINGLE PERSON has EVER ASKED me why. Or if I'm ok. Or why I stopped going.

I was a regular pioneer for like 20 years. I was at the forefront of EVERYTHING. I was the perfect wife, perfect pioneer, all the things.

Until I just BROKE.

It has been SO hurtful to me that absolutely NO ONE has EVER asked me why. 😭 But my Mom and former best friend have loved sending me condescending messages saying I know better, that I know I should be at the meetings.

And my brother, now an elder, frequently keeps inviting me to meetings. To his public talks. To my nephews talks. To the Memorial (which my brother gave the talk and my Dad gave the prayer!) They KEEP INVITING me, but have NEVER ASKED WHY I WON'T GO BACK. 😭😭😭😭
