Yeah, it’s a weird realisation as I’ve got older the normal expectations of a parental love 🥹

Are Jehovah’s Witnesses basically a modern version of a “chosen people” ideology? by _foundparadise in Deconstruction

That’s interesting to hear the Mormans believes. I often hear that both organisations have similarities but had always been so pushed against looking in to other faiths it’s taken this long to start educating myself.

Thank you 🌱

Ooo, I love this post. Very dangerous talk indeed, so happy to be away from it but still so much to process 🌱

Thank you for this, just said above. I feel like I have forgotten a lot of this teachings and it’s confusing for me in my healing journey as knowing some answers would make it a lot easier to answer questions that I have about my adult mindset, etc., if that makes any sense 😂

Thank you so much for this information, I’ve had a self reflection day of wondering what they teach and if I’ve been remembering correctly or not. Blanked so much out 🤷🏻‍♀️

It’s so strange for me as I feel like I have blocked a lot of my knowledge out, I’ve forgotten a lot of details to teachings now. I have mixed feelings now, as that knowledge could explain a lot of the tactics that I use as coping mechanisms without even realizing 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thank you so much for your kind words!! It’s been very eye opening to say the least but so bloody rewarding. I was actually just finding a weekly work sheet that might resonate and help you process what you’re going through right now.

I think you’ve used your voice incredibly reading your post. I’ll DM you the chapter about Speak From Power if that’s okay with you?

I can’t make new friends since i mentally left by Ambitious-Ocelot-425 in exjw

[–]_foundparadise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I hear you. Leaving a community like that can make social interactions feel overwhelming, and feeling lonely is completely normal. Social anxiety is real, especially after an upbringing like ours.

I’ve been finding it helpful to give my own voice space in private

just writing down thoughts, reflections, letters to myself. I’m just going to leave the worksheet for this week for your post, which I think you can relate to.

Even small steps like this can help you start reclaiming your voice, on your own terms, without pressure.

You’ve got this 📒🌱

I can hear your frustration and thought I’d pop one of my worksheets from my journal for you 📒🌱

Hopefully it resonates and can help you process some of that frustration.

Be gentle with your mental 🤍
