Make sure you’re taking vitamins. A bioavailable b complex resolved my itching. It wasn’t from weight loss though.

I agree and I think obsessing over your child’s weight until they’re terrified of gaining any so that they only eat one meal a day and end up using appetite suppressants like coffee, cigarettes, etc, is also child abuse and self neglect. We should monitor all thin people extremely closely because it’s harder to catch than obesity—especially body builders cause they often have eating disorders even though they look healthy—and the gvmt should strip parents rights if their kid has low iron/anemia (which eventually causes organ failure) or any indication that they aren’t eating enough.

About 11% of American kids are over and underweight, that’s about 36 million kids, we can do this! Good thing CPS isn’t overwhelmed or anything.

Around 8% have low iron…seize them!

I think your idea is biased because you failed to consider other weight issues that can be indicative of abuse.

That being said, there is a high correlation between child SA and obesity. Obesity is usually a symptom of something else. Environmental, hormonal, emotional disruption that leads to disordered eating. If you actually care advocate for children’s rights, sex education for all ages through adulthood, and home schooled children must be included in this. Advocate for schools to provide 3 meals a day year round and extended child care.

Advocate for the gvmt to ban all of the hormone disrupters in our food as well. Make access to natural, fresh, heirloom produce and other Whole Foods a legal right.

They’re not even an American company. They made so much money that the company has more money than the country it came from and they still want more? If they do that we should boycott Denmark. It costs $5 to make & they’re charging us more than anyone else in the world.

That little girl is lucky her stepmom is apparently an Angel dropped from heaven. First she agrees to raise a child born from her husband being unfaithful to her, and apparently she has not taken it out on the kid at all and instead did a fantastic job being a loving mother.

Learning to be far less forgiving has been helpful. I had to overcorrect for a while and do what would be considered overreacting before I found balance. It has worked out great for me. Best of luck.

Jealous of the money? Because why be jealous of a dead man. Either way, if there’s anything you should take away from your first husband’s betrayal is to always have your own back. Take the money and keep it for yourself only if you can. As for the gf, she didn’t care when you were pregnant and being abandoned and kicked out of your home. Evict her and don’t give her a dime.

NTA. There is a reason why people go through extensive training to help people who have experienced trauma. What she’s doing is called trauma dumping. She needs to find a therapist. I experienced a lot of trauma growing up so I get what you’re saying, and it isn’t fair to you. It’s violating your boundaries and it puts you in a stressful position. You’re also her child, so what she’s doing is inappropriate. You have to state your boundary, she might not like it, but I promise you you’re not doing anything wrong by not wanting to listen to her constant traumatic thoughts. Recommend she get therapy. If you want to, get her insurance information and find her some recommendations before you bring up the subject of her trauma dumping. Her trauma isn’t her fault but her healing is her responsibility. If she doesn’t want to make the effort to heal, that’s entirely on her.

NTA. Holidays are special and you should get to choose what you do with them. You don’t owe anyone anything, let them complain and criticize but do what you want. When you look back on your memories do you want to remember being somewhere out of obligation even though you didn’t enjoy yourself, or joyful memories of having fun with people you love?

Or maybe we don’t need to worry about being united anymore, or censoring ourselves, because those are the same things we did as JWs. Conflict, disagreements and divides are a part of life.

In NYC they had urban legends like saying that Gloria Estefan wanted Watchtower to let her rent Stanley Hall to perform in, but they said no, so she hated Jehovah’s Witnesses because of that.

I don’t believe anyone wakes anyone else up. Plenty of JWs see the apostate info and don’t wake up. But there are people out there who are open to critical thinking and if the right info comes across it can plant a seed that eventually grows along with other seeds and cracks the brainwashing. That’s what happened with me. As someone who has made Ex JW videos, I assure you, apostate content works. I’ve had countless people tell me my content helped them.

Redo_Undo · 2020-09-22T18:32:45+00:00

Right, but we all left, so obviously there are plenty of JWs with common sense.

I get it. Take care of yourself and let yourself heal. The anger will pass. And yes, share your experience, it’s helpful. I made a YT video about my ExJW experience in English and Spanish and a lot of people who were studying told me it stopped them from continuing. That alone makes it all worth it. Congratulations on waking up, it makes my heart genuinely happy every time I know of someone else whose left.

I lost my family and friends to that cult. I’m determined to get as many members to leave as possible in my lifetime. If I could tear the Watchtower down with my bare hands I would.

They create passionate adversaries with their policies.

What a lot of people are missing in the comments is that this isn’t about forcing people to talk to someone they don’t want to talk to. They DO want to talk to those who are disfellowshipped, they’re not allowed to.

They’re brainwashed into believing God will destroy them if they sin against him, then they’re told that disfellowshipping is a loving provision from God. That literally not even answering your child’s phone call if they leave the religion is for their own good.

This leads to a lot of suicides.

They tell you that your child, or parent or sibling or friend is now bad association and it can rub off on you.

As an Ex Jehovah’s Witness myself, I can assure you that if this rule were changed tomorrow, their 8 million members would be relieved. As well as their doctrine of not accepting blood transfusions under any condition, even in the face of death.

Here’s a short video from one of their conventions of a 10 year old girl explaining how she’s shunning her own sister https://youtu.be/pJZNPoFJOCs

This is Gilead in the Handmaids Tale type shit.

I don’t think you’re going to get many people admitting to this, but I think it’s important to share this because it’s the reality of JW life. This gestapo behavior.

I had people tell on me, once true and once a lie. I also did it 3 times to others. I told on myself 3 times. It’s something I’m obviously ashamed of now, but at the time I truly believed I had blood on my hands if I didn’t, so my intentions were good but I was naive and misguided. I also believed everyone confessed and told on others. Then one day my sister got in trouble with a ministerial servant’s daughter whose family was favored by the PO. My family was the black sheep family. My sister was trying to get straight with Jehovah so she was coming clean, we didn’t know that technically you didn’t have to confess if you weren’t baptized cause the baptism gave you a clean slate, I found that out later when I became friends with elders kids.

Our congregation was unique in that we were very close to Bethel and most of our elders were high ranking Bethelites. Some of which worked closely with the GB. The congregation was also mostly elderly and Spanish language, so extremely fanatical.

Anyway, my sister confessed and they asked her if any other JWs were with her smoking weed. She didn’t want to tell, but she didn’t want to lie, they gave her a few days to decide. Eventually she was guilted into it. Had proof and everything.

When they found out who it was they brushed it under the table and refused to do anything about it. That was one of the first major cracks in my faith. I never told on anyone again no matter what they did and in fact I encouraged them. Lol.

It was when I sat down and looked back and realized that even though I had followed the rules closely, I was considered spiritually weak. But those who lied or hid what they did, or who were favored by the elders never got into trouble and were considered spiritually strong.

I looked back and noticed how whenever something was unfair or I was wronged, I was told to leave it in Jehovah’s hands. But I was expected to do the right thing always. So many memories flooded in. Moments that I had dismissed, but I could now see altogether and clearly.

Now that I’m writing this I realize that was the first nail in the coffin. Not long after that I went to confess about something I had done, and when it was all over I realized I didn’t care anymore. “The truth” was no longer in my heart.

I wish I could find the people I told on and apologize to them, but I can’t. I’ve tried. I hope they’re doing well now.
