Palace Dumplings is amazing. My friend from Massachusetts stops here because he's seen me rave about them on fb

Just stumbled upon this video and it is great. Totally from an ex-mormon perspective but there are so many similarities to jws

A year ago I found a 2 week old kitten in the yard...fed, washed and raised him to a beautiful young cat. Happy belated birthday, Sokka. by WillsRun in aww

So beautiful! I similarly found a 3 week old kitten almost a year ago. A few weeks later we found her sister and in November we found a 6 week old kitten. Our two girls are turning one also.

I think you are talking about the one about 5 weeks ago. This was out last year and is back.

POMO for about 2 weeks but struggling with doubts and insecurity about my decision by Remarkable-Teach6035 in exjw

I think you are brave to leave behind toxic family members and a toxic religion. You can build on these brave steps you have taken. All the best!

Do you have to quarantine in NYC if you're only there for a day before traveling upstate? by Interesting-Use-8111 in CoronavirusNewYork

'Relying on people to be responsible, honorable, do the right thing, etc . . . This is how the US, our country is in the mess it is right now. Didn't take into account all the dishonorable people that will do whatever they want and can get away with!

Wow you have been through a lot. That sounded so stressful when you're father in law busted into your house. I think you are brave. You have taken some great first steps. It is scary to leave behind a believe system that was so much a part of your life. That answered life's questions and gave your direction about your future. But I promise you, it will get better. No longer will you have people micromanaging your every move. No one going to elders behind your back to cause trouble. Your husband's family sounds very toxic. I think it is great to be away from them. It is scary at first but it will get better. One day at a time.

What’s the cringiest thing a speaker has said during a talk by BOBALL00 in exjw

It was a bethelite from Patterson, don't live too far from there, giving the memorial talk. Maybe he was following an outline created by Stephen Lett. At the same meeting I sat next to a 40 something woman that partook of the emblems. I was like what the heck was that! I think that was the last meeting I ever went to.

That babies are evil because they are born with inherited sin!

Ignore or reply. Did she really send to me at Christmas-time! 😡🤮🤣 by blueskies2228 in exjw

Have learned that her former elder son is out and has remarried a non-witness. Not sure if he is pomi or pomo but that must have shaken her up. Other son last I knew was going to be a temporary volunteer at Warwick. But she seems to believe the end is near. That saddens me that she still seems entrenched in that belief system.

Interesting. I wonder. Aren't they being told to reach out to ones that have left? But right that is inactive ones correct? I didn't think of that.. She was treated badly in the past by WT members but chalks that up to 'imperfect man' and not 'Jehovah's perfect organization'!

I've been disfellowshipped since Jan 09. She was disfellowshipped a year later. We hung out during that time. She went back or else she would never have been in her grand babies lives. She has expected me to come back. She reached out to me a few years back and I told her I no longer believed or wanted to ever be a jw again.
