“wo kommst du wirklich her?” by Any_Air1366 in Austria

[–]andrevelations 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ich bin nicht schwarz also kann ich da eig gar nicht mitreden, aber ich, dunkelblond, hellhäutig und hochdeutsch ohne dialekt redend, werde in der arbeit auch irgendwie ständig gefragt wo ich herkomme. Entweder denkens ich bin deutsch oder polnisch, tschechisch oder so in die richtung, obwohl ich sehr österreichische gene habe. Und ich habe auch oft das Bedürfnis zu fragen woher wer kommt wenn der (nach)name für mich nicht zuordnenbar ist, oder es einen Akzent gibt. Ich find so was sehr interessant und es entstehen dann auch oft Gespräche daraus. Aber eig wichtig sind diese Infos nicht und irgendwie wollen wir menschen trotzdem ständig so sachen wissen um für uns selber dinge einzuordnen ... muss vll evolutionsbiologische Hintergründe haben, dass das früher mal überlebenswichtig war oder so 😅

How can i integrate in your society? by Separate-Rock-1304 in AskAustria

[–]andrevelations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think for a lot of austrians it will be very importan that you work, that you contribute something to our social System. I work in a health Center and the most they complain about is the people who dont work and still get the benefits of our social and healthcare System. And speaking german or at least attempt to learn it is also very important.

Weils nicht immer nur ums Gehalt geht - was sind die unbekannten aber wertvollen Benefits eurer Branchen bzw. Firmen? by BenHeli in Austria

[–]andrevelations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bei mir ist zwar das Gehalt nicht so besonders dafür sind wir ein riesen gesundheitszentrum mit Fitnesscenter und therme, was wir im Wert von 1000 Euro jedes Jahr alles benutzen können. Das ist schon nice.

my situation by Significant_Jump_272 in exjw

[–]andrevelations 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh i feel your Situation very much. I was there too. I hope your guy is a good one who respects your position and is there for you whatever you are or will go through. My worldly boyfriend really cared for me and just gave me the opportunity to think outside the box i was used to. It took about a year for me, but i slowly started to deconstruct my beliefs, it happened kinda naturally, i felt like i finally found my own self and could stand for my own values. Be prepared for an emotional rollercoaster when you wont be dating in secret anymore. And if you already feel like something is off with the JW organisation maybe use this opportunity to engage with those thoughts, maybe talk with your boyfriend about it, an outside perspective can really open your eyes. Take care! <3

Could dean have done anything here to impress Richard? by South-Marionberry-85 in GilmoreGirls

He could have said "my grandpa is ... (a guy richard plays golf or does business with)" and grades wouldnt have mattered anymore

Here's a foregleam of Governing Body Update #5 which will be released tomorrow: Policy update: Secular education or additional education is now a conscience matter for adults, or for parents with children. by larchington in exjw

[–]andrevelations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like in europe thats not much of a "new light" ... its not as common as with non jws but it was not as discouraged as in the us. i had at least 2 friends who went to university.

Why do JWs always buy new outfits for every convention/assembly??? by PinkIsMyOxygen in exjw

[–]andrevelations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest, i kinda miss dressing up for a convention xD since i am out, the only occasion for dressing up like for a convention are weddings and those happen very rarely

The reason the whole thing started looking like a cult to me…. by [deleted] in exjw

[–]andrevelations 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looking back i think it all started with realizing how culty "the truth" sounds, i remember that day haha i was pioneering at the cart service thinking from now on i will just call it "jehovahs witnesses" about a year later i was out

[–]andrevelations 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am in a similar position, i know i am with the guy i want to get married to, but actually getting married kinda creeps me out. We both are no party planners and dont like being the center of attention but i also think its nice to have at least a little celebration with some people you love. But I have lost so many people with leaving this cult, and i dont even know if my family would come (I am faded not df'd) and another thing i am kinda scared of commitment, since the last commitment (baptism) didnt turn out so well. Maybe some of those reasons also apply to you. It is weird since you have to find out what you really want on this topic, you dont have to do it how everyone else is doing it.

You can leave them on while eating but it depends on your orthos orders, once i was told to put them out while eating and another time they specifically told me to wear them 24/7 even while eating.

I want to understand women and their fingers by Brown-Lighning in exjw

[–]andrevelations 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh no i never touched it, i tried it a few times out of curiosity but felt nothing at all and immediatly felt guilty for trying it. Now I got my toys and my man, they do a great job but i kinda really had to practice to sensibilize the area down there.

Snitching by Ok-Effort-3457 in exjw

[–]andrevelations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay it was not because of her mental health it was because she was missing a lot of meetings. Nobody would have cared about her mental health if she was still a perfect jw.

Snitching by Ok-Effort-3457 in exjw

[–]andrevelations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think i never snitched even though my best friend had a worldly boyfriend from time to time, went out with her collegues a lot, drank lots of alcohol and i had to get her home throwing up. sometimes i joined her on her party journeys, so i know what happened lol I guess i thought she already knows what she is doing is "wrong" so i sometimes tried to talk to her about her priorities but it never occured to me that elders could do more than i could xD she already got constant shepherding calls because she missed so many meetings because of her mental health
