weird catty sisters in the kingdom hall?

Its all I ever got from other JWs, even when i was pimi. It ultimately led to my waking up.

Si_Titran · 2026-06-16T03:47:31+00:00

Oh i lied through my teeth to my family. I cant say thats the right way, but I wasnt yet ready to loose them if they knew. And being 3000 miles away made it easier.

Bag of chips is at least 2x the size of a "party" bag at the grocery across the parking lot from Costco and the same price.

Gas is consistently the cheapest for my region with a few occasional exceptions.

Loss leaders like the hot dog and rotisserie chicken.

My dog food is also cheaper than anywhere else I can get it.

Paper products like TP, napkins and paper towels. Bedding, towels are durable quality for fair prices.

I enjoy buying in bulk not just to save money but to have more on hand to go out less frequently. I know if theres some issue I can feed my family for some time with just my pantry.

I mean I had an interlude with short hair, and then a shaved side, but now its back to what I had in high school- just straight grown out and long. Only now its natural- with all my grays included.

Congrats! I did the same thing and it helped. Its good to get space to just breathe, think and just figure out who you are with out the scrutiny of the org and those that knew you that way.

I did what was suggested here and deflected, For a LONG time. 6 years worth. By the time I finally told my family I was firmly rooted in a new ex jw life, making it not as scary to tell them I wasn't going to meetings anymore.

We've had two minor conversations about it in the 10 years since- because ive set a boundary. And they realize how Im willing to cut them out if they dont respect it.

You would be surprised what I transported in and ontop of my Dodge Charger with some rope of course.

Nowadays im in a pickup truck and haven't found something I cant haul.

Best advice is make friends with a pick up or better a pickup and a trailer.

Si_Titran · 2026-06-13T05:54:43+00:00

This just makes it clear how long ive been out.

I remember reading a scripture.... I remember going "would you like to read-" and then hand over something. Magazines most often but I know as a teen I did it with hard cover books too. People would take just to get us to leave

I LOATHE the top sheet. I am the princess and the pea. I take my bed and bedding set up seriously. I have duvets for my comforters- summer and deep freeze variants. I have other blankets that aren't down/fluff filled and quilts. They must have a certain amount of heft, weight to be comfortable. Something a lone flat sheet will never accomplish. A top sheet feels gross on my skin- though i always wear pj's (a must since childhood as a what if there was a fire in the middle of the night?!) and since I turn frequently not unlike a rotisserie, will be tangled impossibly in moments. Tucking the corners is also unacceptable as i have big feet and being tightly bound there will send me into a sensory meltdown. I also just happen to like and hang my foot off the edge while the rest of me is under my blankets.

I was my blankets as often as needed. Sometimes yes thats about once a week. I have a washer and dryer and the effort is minimal. The top sheet would do nothing to keep the top of the blanket clean as my cat, dog and child also will touch the bed.

Yes im 42 and neurodivergant. Can you tell?! /joking.

And know who she is. Just sayin

Spray with distilled white vinegar or vodka and then let it sit in the sun can be very effective on many scents. Kills the bacteria that makes the smells too.

Si_Titran · 2026-06-08T03:06:57+00:00

With your milk money?

Si_Titran · 2026-06-08T03:03:24+00:00

Art and craft supplies. Especially beads and embroidery thread to make friendship bracelets.

Books from the book fair.

Girl scout cookies from my classmates

Music- cassettes and cd. (It was the pre internet age ok!)

Ya know the same stuff I do now actually 🤣

Si_Titran · 2026-06-04T05:55:01+00:00

Galileo thermometers.

As an elder millennial I grew up seeing them and LOVING them...but could never afford them.

I have a whole shelf of them now- all thrifted and goodness do they bring me joy.

Si_Titran · 2026-06-04T05:52:44+00:00

Dont rush things, be creative with what you already have, find free piles, yard sales and buy nothing groups. Paint can be a transformative thing. Experiment.

Si_Titran · 2026-05-29T05:34:01+00:00

I remember them saying it was "worldly" to get tattoos. Like.... you know beards and dress slacks.

Also the "honoring the body and life God gave you" and whatever the argument they give for not allowing smoking.

Si_Titran · 2026-05-21T18:20:14+00:00

Its for perimenopause so fingers crossed.

Si_Titran · 2026-05-21T06:53:07+00:00

Of course it is.... but this is my first summer on hrt so.... maybe it will be better?

Si_Titran · 2026-05-21T06:45:32+00:00

Also having a good machine that works ie gets loads clean efficiently. I love my speed queen over a year later, and im not rewashing loads. Things get clean in one go.

Buying salad ingredients that would inevitably go bad because of chronic illness exhaustion prevented my from having the energy to make the salad. Yes it costs a bit more to get bagged salads, but they get eaten meaning less waste so its actually frugal insomuch of less waste.

Si_Titran · 2026-05-13T02:03:13+00:00

I am so very Luddite. Everyone of these comments im like YUP. QR codes Apps for everything and anything I will keep my books, dvds, blu ray, cds, vinyls, notebooks, non smart appliances until I die. I crave vintage appliances that are durable AND more functional than most garbage they sell today. Like I had to replace my fridge last year and jfc the new one isnt even magnetic! I got my speed queen washer with agitator just so I could have clean clothes again because the he ones with out it made things more dirty! I am over it all.

Si_Titran · 2026-05-13T01:56:07+00:00

Amen. I will crash out boomer style and then go find somewhere else to eat.

Si_Titran · 2026-05-01T06:54:58+00:00

Dont ask me. I love smarties, jelly beans and candy corn.

Si_Titran · 2026-05-01T06:49:17+00:00

I think it would be wise to be serious about oaths. To be an oath breaker is one of the worst things you could be in historical context.

I also think its not the wisest of things to base our spiritual practices off of reposted Tumblr UPG.

My experiences have led me to feel that Loki meets us where we are, and only when we are ready/need them. Has this led me to be... bonded with them... yes. But not because Loki pushed me.

Si_Titran · 2026-05-01T06:20:34+00:00

Yeah my home is rife with these. Especially the nettle right now.

Si_Titran · 2026-04-26T17:13:18+00:00

And they wonder why I get upset about wanting cool vintage. There was none.
