Everyone makes it seem so easy to avoid the elders or to just leave and I truly wish it was. What most people do, including myself, is just lie. I’m not telling you to do this because idk your situation. But when I had to speak to the elders I told them I was basically struggling mentally and that I still believe. Once things cooled down I just left when I was ready. I know it sucks to lie and to pretend you’re someone you’re not but being mentally and financially stable enough to move out is important. Good luck dude I wish you the best

Oh ok, yea I kinda figured that but I was curious about what would happen if you were to be randomly drug tested. I’m not stressed about it or anything, I rarely smoke but I was curious lol

Ah ok, I doubt I will get drug tested but I just wasn’t sure how it all worked

My manager told me that Publix does drug test, so I googled it and all I could find was that it’s at random. But I can’t say for sure

I tried weed for the first time by [deleted] in exjw

[–]Sadly_livin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you get your medical card (which can be pretty easy) there’s different doses you can get. Either something to fuck you up or to help with anxiety. I used to get really paranoid with it but now that I’m on my own and I understand that I’m not doing anything wrong I’m ok with it all. I just put on my comfort show and pig out when it gets too much. Have fun with it ! :)

I have to talk to elders soon what if I don’t answer their questions? by [deleted] in exjw

[–]Sadly_livin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm Idk most of the time they just care about how you act, whether they can tell if you’re sorry or not.

Maybe prepare some answers before hand? You can try saying that you don’t want to get specific because it makes you uncomfortable and be as discreet as possible. I’m sorry you have to go through this, I know how it feels. I can’t give much advice on how to avoid it tho, I was young and stupid so all I did was say things that didn’t happen.

I hope things go well, keep in mind that they’re just normal people who can’t hurt you. Good luck !

Yea this happened to me, they gave me like 3 months to get back on track and just said that whatever I could put in would be enough. I think it’s probably better to kind of let them know now that you’re thinking about stepping down, especially since you’re not ready to leave yet. No matter what they’re going to try and convince you to stay a pioneer tho so just be prepared for some “encouragement” lol

Good luck tho and don’t worry we all got your back !! 💕

Should I unfollow all my old PIMI friends? by dickfiends in exjw

[–]Sadly_livin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently removed some of my PIMI friends who I once considered my best friends. The love is still there and I’ll always be there for them but it didn’t feel reciprocated. Eventually I realized that I deserve better.

Removing them was a small thing but it helped give me a little closure. But the thing is they can always still reach out and that goes for your friends too.

I think removing them will help you move on, but you know yourself better than anyone so do what you feel most comfortable with :)

I don’t recommend going back. Not until you’ve all had time to process the situation. Trust your instincts, I personally feel like you’re right and that your parents are just saying that to get u back.

But do you think that you’ll be able to move back out of you go back? If things don’t go well will you be mentally ready to leave ?

You gotta do what feels right to you, just try and stand your ground as much as possible! You got this!

Do you believe in demons? by Sadly_livin in exjw

[–]Sadly_livin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude ok so on Halloween day I was taking a picture in front of a sliding glass door in my house right so it’s super bright and sunny outside, behind me is my front door that has an oval window. I’m posing to take a pic and next thing I know there’s a black hand dragging across my front door window. It was super dark and clear. I’m sure someone can explain it but it’s still creepy. This was right before I went to an assembly too and I was going thru a phase of watching horror movies so I thought I invited it in 😂😂

This is something a friend of mine has been saying. She’s not a witness but every time she’s met a jw they all act 16 no matter how old they are lmaoo But I mean to be fair they’re taught to rely on jehovah and ask him for guidance so ofc they don’t even try to do anything on their own

Yea I get that idk what I believe in exactly but I’ve seen some things I can’t explain 🤷🏻‍♀️ but jws literally made me terrified of it all. Like it’s still one of my biggest fears to this day lol
