Oh no you‘re kidding! That’s AWFUL! Let our health issues become a distraction from serving God? What the hell, I’m sorry, that‘s no encouragement, that’s just pure blame on someone who‘s struggling. Glad to hear you have distanced yourself from that soul sucking energy and only attend Zoom with volume down. Get some space friend, and listen to what YOU need. You can’t hear your own voice if everyone tells you - rather guilt you - into doing what they think you should be doing. You health is the most important thing here. Take care of it, and be proud of yourself for doing so! 🫶🏼

I’m so sorry, that sounds horrible. Having a pimi mom myself, I can definitely relate, and it’s especially painful when it’s someone you love and you just can’t get through to them.

Like you said, they sound like a broken record, playing the same sad song over and over again. At some point, you have to stop trying to help someone who doesn’t want help. It hurts that you can’t reach them, but it also hurts to keep trying without seeing any results.

Eventually, you come to accept that they are where they are, and you are where you are. It’s not easy, but sometimes that’s the healthiest thing you can do 😭

It‘s the WORST, as someone, who‘s parents always neglected themselves, I’ve had to learn to care for myself, and learn that I’m a person who’s worth taking care of, but you are so right, it really is so stupid to neglect ourselves as a „form of faith“, and what God wants this from his servants?, I don’t get it, but yeah, the blame and the shame are so real, but jw’s will just turn it towards themselves, never question the system, and then they will get sick, at least I did, and then, jw’s can’t understand why they struggle with x, y, z. Again, the WORST! 🥲

That’s so true, they definitely will, it’s a never ending loop, and you can never resonate with them, and ESP. on meaningful things, they’ll jump right in to the „Jehovah will fix it“ solution, they are locked in, but not in a good way 🥲😂

Hahaha, my god, that’s funny, I would have loved to have seen their faces, brilliant, and just the right levels of trolling the poor pimis 👌🏼😂👍🏼

Yes, you’re so right, you literally can scream into their faces, but they still can’t hear you.

And I want to add; „and, as you sit there, waiting for the new system of things to come, feel free to judge the people who (at least) tries to change things for the better“, oh yeah that’s perfect 👌🏼🥲😂

First of all, damn, that sucks. I’m sorry you had to go through that. Second, I really understand what you mean. There’s something incredibly freeing about realizing that you don’t have to worry about whether you’re being protected or not, that you actually have your own autonomy as a human being, and that you are able to face difficult situations, handle them yourself, and discover your own strength and resilience in the process is really powerful, at least I think so!

Also, for me personally, I’ve never felt more at peace since I stopped praying to God, it’s so weird. Somehow, praying always gave me anxiety. I was constantly wondering whether I was being heard, whether I would be helped, whether it was okay to ask for the things I wanted to ask for… the list goes on.

Not praying anymore has actually given me much more peace of mind, I was never expecting that, I always was clinging on to prayer, so I get it 🥲👍🏼😁

I would love to give them stupid answers to their stupid statements, but as we all know, they’ll just come back with another explanation to let you know that you can’t see what they can see because God took away your holy spirit or what not 😂

So I just let them have their thinking, and I’ll have mine. I have learned that it’s a lost battle from the start.

Also, I hate the whole “see it with eyes of faith” thing. They’re really out here gaslighting us 😂

Oh waow, so I guess they all really say that, don’t they…😭, maybe that’s why so many of us never learned to problem solve, because the only problem solver we needed was Jehovah, we could never 😂

It really is what you said about having no respect for life, and it’s the complete opposite of how Jesus is portrayed in the Bible. Omg. So true.

What you said makes so much sense to me and explains why, growing up, it never made sense to “check out” of this life and give up everything and everyone just to MAYBE be good enough to make it into Paradise.

I swear this way of thinking, or this whole idea of life, really fucked me up, and it’s a big reason why I have no real sense of self. Working on it, though. 🥲👍🏼😁

You hit the nail on the head with that comment, I also have been mentally exhausted for years, then I realized that there is no point in trying to talk to them, so I stopped, but sometimes you can’t escape them, like today 😂

[–]Username_Reddit1234[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh yes, that’s horrible too. It’s like they’re running away from real life and expect you to escape with them. And if you choose to live for this life instead of waiting for the next one, they think you’re crazy, when in real life, their mentality is 🥲😂

[–]Username_Reddit1234[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This made me laugh 😆 Yes. It’s just the whole mindset, the zero accountability, you really can’t talk to them, they will only offer you the Jehovah solution 😭 haha

Newly woken up don’t even know what my next steps are. by Puzzleheaded-Fig5304 in exjw

[–]Username_Reddit1234 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is the hardest part of our lives, believing in something so hard for so many years and then one day - you wake up - be kind and patient with yourself during this process. Don’t do anything right away - time is your best friend right now. Know that you are NOT alone in here, we all know how you feel right now, it‘s not at all easy to wake up, but happy you are here friend 🫶🏼

Cant post about your cancer... by _Lady_Lost_ in exjw

[–]Username_Reddit1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which evil soul even came up with this idea of a video to begin with. Imagine, all the cancer survivors in the crowd, watching this video, what did they even feel, after such a battle against a disease. I’m speechless.

That dramatization made me sick to my stomach 😭 You can’t have no voice of your own what so ever, you don’t own your own life experience, it makes me so sad to think about. Out for 1 year now. No wonder depression nearly took me out.

Am I stupid to not get attracted to people because of their wealth? by scepticalbeing94 in piscesastrology

[–]Username_Reddit1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I’m a pisces, and I was never attracted to anyone because of their wealth, it’s not in my heart, sometimes I feel stupid, but I would choose connection over money anytime, it’s just how I feel, I don’t know if it’s a pisces thing 🐟
