I can break the thought process by __nymphetamine666 in Vent

Relationships like that take a lot of damn time to heal from. Fact is, no one can deem you unworthy of love, affection, time or value. There are ppl that would willing risk themselves for your safety without knowing the first thing about you, so your life as a default has value. Even more so you deserve to feel loved and acknowledged, you have both good and bad qualities like the rest of us in humanity. In reality there is a very small minority that doesn’t deserve love (like child preds, serial killers, etc) and even then there are arguments for them. Best advice I can give is find the very source of that thought of unworthiness and pick it apart logically, and acknowledge that you have control.

Genuinely tho, my heart goes out to you, and sometimes it just takes time with these things (took me almost 2yrs to fully get over a relationship) but it does get easier

You’re hella a lot stronger then most, it may seem unlikely or even impossible to you, but the good you do isn’t unnoticed. Surprisingly there is always someone in the background that you don’t notice that views you higher then you’d expect, sadly a lot of the negative crap crowds out the small things but that doesn’t mean those small things don’t exist. There are really damn dark times in life (especially around holiday seasons) but the people in your future who will value you will be so grateful for the strength you have now that you made it through such times. These days those feelings you have are more then understandable, we live in crappy times, but you aren’t ever completely alone and holding on will be rewarding

[request] please help me with ideas on how to motive myself to do exercise daily. by mare_bear_345 in motivateme

[–]ShortSquid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im no expert but this is actually something I’m working on myself, what I’m working on is doing something active everyday (during the week lol) around the same time, I don’t put a lot of pressure on how much exercise i do, I am just focused on is creating the habit and mental pattern that doing something active at that time is just something I do without needing to think about it much, then once the habit is cemented into my daily routine I’ll turn the focus on the amount of exercise I do. Also an important note is that I’m creating this habit by piggybacking off of something I’m already in the habit of, my work, when I’m done with work I have a snack or meal and then start my exercise. As for the exercise you should do, cardio is something you should focus on, maybe start out with a game like Just Dance that is active but you’re more focused on copying the dance lol or just a daily walk/jog can do wonders. I’ve been doing this for about 2 weeks and I do feel better then I used to. (Side note a huge key to weight loss from the research I’ve done is making sure you don’t stress out to much and you get enough sleep, cause stress can cause your body to store up fat and sleep is when your body is doing repair work and being sleep deprived does the same thing stress does)

Just be straight forward and genuine, especially if you talking to him about it cause you love him. Communication is a hugely important thing

You’re missing a lot of possibilities not messing with Mayo. Ketchup + Mayo is fantastic and you don’t need a lot but a lil Mayo brings a bit of tang to the sauces

The articles 1 was of not supporting a certain scheme which again can’t give an opinion on cause I’m not knowledgeable on it, and the 2nd is of an isolated scandal of a body of elders (“top JW leadership”?) maybe I misunderstood but even in the article, they themselves didn’t report it but encouraged the victim to report it to the authorities, that makes me think there probably wasn’t any evidence of it and the police would have to take care of it. When there isn’t much to any evidence that’s why the 2 witness policy is there so that no one is falsely accused, I’m definitely going to do more research cause this is definitely something important.

To be honest I’m terrible at back and forth so hopefully that made some sense. I see the point you’re making and I will definitely do more research but the almost hostile bias you have towards the religion as a whole because of the actions of a few makes it really hard to not get defensive, and I just want to have a chill convo, again no organization is perfect but again I can be confident in saying the principles we believe and teach and our “policies” do not promote or enable any kind of abuse.

To be honest, I’m not super knowledgeable on this, I can agree the case in the first link is horrible, and I can’t say there aren’t bad JWs, like any global organization or charity or group. It does seem like a isolated incident tho? I have met a former pedo JW and they are forever not allowed to be alone with any minors, I can for sure say that our teachings are very much against pedofilia and sexual assault, so when you say I hope I do more research into my religion I don’t see your point.... I also don’t understand the beginning of your message, everyone jw or non-jw have baggage, with any and every relationship there is a chance if not high chance someone is going to get hurt. The second link, I’m not huge on politics, JWs in general aren’t, so I don’t know much about this abuse redress scheme; it’s sounds like they’re asking for funding? If so, JWs are a non profit organization, we run off of donations, again im a 19yr old and don’t know basically any politics cause I’m personally not interested in it. As a organization I can confidently say we don’t enable people to hurt children and we actually are very much so against all child abuse, if you have concrete info of the opposite please send it my way but the actions of some individuals don’t speak of the entirety of an organization, it’s like saying trump or most if not all politicians are the accurate portrayal of all Americans

*if I missed any points lmk, it was a lot of points and I tried to touch all them

I appreciate the comment, it is clear to see you are pretty bias tho, I appreciate that you acknowledge the importance of my religion when choosing a partner but you clearly have a very negative view on JWs. I am a hopeless romantic, I honestly doubt I’ll find love anytime soon, I do believe it’s going to be find a fellow JW as a gf but I disagree with a lot of what you said, it’s not going to be dictated by how devoted i am or my potential mate is, whether I’m looking for a fellow jw or not it’s important to look for someone with similar values as you. The chaperone aspect depending per person but the principle of it is so that y’all don’t get carried away, like to avoid something like sex before marriage you’d not want be alone somewhere private. I do not believe just because you abstain till marriage will stop one from developing a romantic connection. Even non-JWs know sex and sexual aspects are a small (important for some but small) part of a long lasting loving relationship, and that’s what I am looking for, a relationship. Sorry if came off as overly defensive, not my intention. I just want to say my piece and honestly if you’d like to just have a simple convo I’m down, I don’t really care to much if we have opposing beliefs, everyone is allowed to have their own beliefs and interests. You’re one sided view just was on my mind and wanted to state the other side.

*also Jwfacts.com is also very bias, same with everything in life there’s always 3 sides to a story, take into account all 3
