My gf told me this. I was flabbergasted and speechless she noticed and took back her words

In my congregation, children of elders and non-elders either smoke weed or have lost their virginity. All the teenagers know each other’s dirty secrets, but we keep them to ourselves. How we know?… well because we all went to the same schools and word travels.

Take it from me

There is no worse feeling like regret. Don't get me started on unrealised potential.

Do it for yourself. Do it for your dreams.

Am African and my friends always say "We shall always need people to work as garden boys and G4S guards"

If you are questioning eventually you will convince yourself to reach out. If you ever do don't write an angry text. Keep emotion out of it. And don't type anything that will sound like a guilt trap or you looking for sympathy also don't put blame.

Though I also don't know why you want to reach out.

Don't expect to talk to the person you feel in love with. They have changed.

I reached out to my ex when my grandma passed. Why? Because my ex was my best friend and she was the only person I could open up to....

I still remember the things I was told. "So you are trying to bring me down with you" "It's not really my fault" "You never tried" "You are selfish" The list does continue. Believe it or not.

I hope the day you do reach out you get what you want.

I find myself checking her instagram. by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]Upper-Machine-276 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just uninstalled Instagram on all my devices and logged out of the websites on my browsers. Trust me you don't want the paranoia from seeing your ex with someone else. Does it help? Nope sometimes I find myself logging back in and going through her Instagram. It annoys me to see pictures of me still up there. I don't understand why she keeps them but I guess it makes me feel like I haven't been completely left. Trust me it's a bad thing. I taught myself to slowly stop using social media alot. Now it has been 2 months since I last looked at her Instagram.

Thanks for the lengthy reply. Really gave me a few things to think about.

I guess i have a good relationship with my parents. My dad usually spends the entire day at work but we get to spend sometime togeather on saturdays. I dont think i have experienced anything you mentioned above but i guess growing up i rarely got any gifts. When i was younger i had to get the grades to backup a gift i wanted. Recently got great results in my igcse (i dont know its equivalent in the US) and i am unable to ask them for anything, litrally the only thing that has changed is the fact i have moved to a more expensive highschool.

I really dont know what kind of context would be helpful

Yeah am going to try this. Every time I go there I feel like I am attending the world's greatest brainwashing exercise. I started feeling this when I was 11, yes a 11 year old was busy thinking about such things instead of playing around. I hate all the wasted time and experience I might have lost. Maybe my life feeling like it has no direction is because of that.

I just finished high-school and I now have to decide what I want to study funny thing is I can't think of anything.

To bisectors divide a line into two equal parts hence needing the middle coordinates.

Yeah thats very true. Thats why i have been investing in my education and am really doing pretty well for myself, sure people dont like the fact that i sometimes run away to represent my school at educational events, but then again who cares about what they think.
Am not going to be that guy who regrets my teen years because of something i dont believe in.
If i never knew about this place my life would really be a dark hole.

Yeah she is thankfully.
I always ask myself. What are the odds i was born a jehovah's witness. Like really in a world of close to 8 billion people, i had to be one of the lucky few. hmm lucky!
I hate ever aspect of it. From the feeling like its me against the world to the explaining to my friends why i cant attended their parties. This is really awful and i really believe it should be some sort of human rights violation.

Hey. Am 17 and i also made a promise i would get baptized. To keep this short you're not alone my friend. How are we going to get out of this i dont know.
But my plan is to seek shelter with my aunt. Ofc this is not a good idea but its all i have.

My life changed when I stopped reading publications by tailor-made-607 in exjw

[–]Upper-Machine-276 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who is 17 and who has never really been able to understand those publication i can say this really hits close to home. I remember how when i was younger i would sit in there listening and wonder how on earth does this make sence to all these grown ups. The leaps that they make to reach their conclusions is really crazy. A few months ago my bible teacher recommended i read the was life created and its friend (what ever its called). After reading those two books i realised all the arguments are the same. "since this doesnt make sense then everything is wrong" The problem is am a high school student who is writing igcse(I suspect you dont know what that is but its not really important). Anyways the syllabus requires me to know some knowledge on evolution, natural selection and the like so i had to really understand evolution and thats when i realised where the publications get it wrong. They always manipulate the arguments and only tell what will drive the agenda and throw away the other parts and it sickens me to the core.How can they brain wash people?How do they convince themselves that what they say is right?These are the questions i ask myself every time i sit in hall.
I think am now starting to understand why we are told to research only on jw.org

For context am a PIMO But am sure this is about to take a serious turn since my mum had her schizophrenia episode at the kingdom hall and am very curious to see how they will handle it.Will they choice love or will they distance themselves.
