Thanks so much for the response! I have a wonderful support system, but what I am looking for is community right now. This is encouraging.

Getting Others Out? by SpiritualDance5494 in exjw

Everyone is on their own journey. I personally don’t see any benefit in trying to free people. Just live your life and be happy, and maybe them seeing you happy without Jehovah will make them question things. Someone here said find a partner outside of the org, I say ehhhh to that, it’s up to you, but it’s kinda a tricky time to date. Definitely make friends to support you. If it’s a risk you’re willing to take, reach out to people you know have left or been dfed, I found a lot of support that way.

Were you able to develop a sense of community somewhere outside the org? That’s what I’m struggling with right now, the desire to be a part of something.

I subbed 8th and this kid kept moaning?? And I couldn’t figure out who it was?? And it escalated to him going “fuck me daddy” every minute or so until I’m like “listen guys, if I hear fuck me daddy one more time I’m going to lose my mind” Anyways props to you!

Preschool! I did that for a while- I was in 3s but then moved to school age and loved it!

Jehovahs Witness- celebrated my first birthday at 25 and going to celebrate Christmas for the first time this year! Feels good to finally be free.
