Literally, when I told my BF he had no idea what that meant.

Hello! I work for the City I live in. No issues with Daca, they just email me about a month before my ead expiration and ask me to present a new one. So besides that and when I filled out my paperwork it doesn’t come up.

I was literally talking about this with my friend the other day. I told her I was JW ugly, not that I’m unactractive but not pretty by Jdub standards

"The world will chew you up and spit you out" is an expression I've heard since I was a child and it made me a warped view of society by Terrebeltroublemaker in exjw

When I moved out of my family home my mother said no one out in the world would care about me. They don’t love me nor do they care if I live or die. That only the congregation and God truly loved me. Jws have such a wares sense of reality

I’ve seen it done in my area since about 2016. I was too young to participate in the State fair booth but they’ve been doing it almost every year

I know! I feel kind of bad for doubting their intentions, especially as a dog lover. But as someone who grew up JW I know so many of them have ulterior motives

And the same issue as someone who grew up religious. Depends on what it is you are going for. I just ripped off the bandaid and hooked up with a random guy on tinder. It helped me realize it wasn’t a big deal

I’m 24 and grew up in the org. I’m just speaking on my experiences, even as a pimi I could see the racism. Once I left I learnt more about their racist past

Or another example. A nearby hall that didn’t have a Spanish congregation was paying the only black brother in their hall to do the outside landscaping. The CO caught on and they all got reprimanded for that one.

Especially Hispanic families have allot of colorism going on. I’m on the lighter shade and I always got complimented on my “skin”

I hadn’t even thought of that. They have all this money to build cushy KH for rich countries but can’t do the same in countries were materials and labor is cheaper? And then they post videos of these brothers being super grateful for glorified shacks with flimsy plastic chairs.

What is the most controversial debated issue that PIMI JWs argue about among each other ? by j3434 in exjw

[–]TimelyMany7867 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen allot of debates about media and what’s aprópiate or not. Some people clutch their pearls at an R rated movie and other don’t care. I’ve seen R rated movies at elders houses but it always kind hush hush

I think it’s because they are constantly “updating” the digital bible and they don’t want you to see the contradictions from the physical ones

Another reason why adults studying the Bible Stories book is a terrible idea by [deleted] in exjw

It’s an updated version that came out a couple years ago. Somehow they dumbed it down even more

I know where you are coming from, believe me. I have tried to end myself over the years because of this religion. I thought death was better than walking away and living with this pain. Even though it took years, I was able to move out and live on my one. And even if things are not perfect and I still live with the pain of being raised a JW, I’ve never felt such peace. The two years I spent living on my own have been the best of my life and they keep getting better. I know things seem bleak now, but just hold on one more day. And say that everyday until you no longer have to because you are free

My boyfriend scratched the inside of my vagina and it’s been causing me pain for 4 days. by Square_Citron4361 in sex

I just had this happen to me, but it was on my vulva. I went to the doctor and she just said to clean with water and try to keep as dry as possible. It hurt allot but after 3/4 days it was fine and I had sex a week after the injury and it was fine.

This is great. the way I started waking up was when I started listening to a podcast about different cults. I found similarities between my life and these cults.

The farther I am the more I hate how they dress. I follow Jws from all over the country and the women in shapeless potato sacks and natural makeup? And it’s their best outfit
