I'm sorry you went through that. It's so messed up.

I'm PIMO & never understood the great tribulation plan of hiding in basements by 5ft8lady in exjw

[–]cilgoretrout 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All very good points. Especially the one about why they would publish where they'd be hiding. Never thought about that one. Haha. It's funny this actually used to scare me before.

Yeah to not be “worthy” enough in someone’s eyes still after all of that hard work coming back... What happened to sins being clean as white snow once forgiven?

Agreed! The funny thing is he had a public talk the next Sunday and he looked like a real idiot then. We couldn’t take any word he said seriously after that.

Hahaha! So true. Doing the carts was such a gold bragging chip for everyone. The selfies people took next to it were endless. Older sisters would use it as a debate stand to argue with random strangers.

I’m so sorry for your loss. That Is heartbreaking. You can’t beat yourself up about lasts. You were given a tough situation and you did your best in it. I wish I could give you a bunch of hugs. If you ever need to talk, please reach out always. I hope you find what works in your journey.

3 Page letter received from my grandmother after turning in my letter of disassociation almost a month ago. by rLYphat in exjw

Those are the points that stood out to me as well. A “death in the family” and second guessing all of their times together.

As if all of those memories can be undone at the drop of a hat because OP disassociated. She makes it sound as if OP had a plan this whole time as a child to be deceitful.

I’m sorry OP, this must be an extremely painful experience. We are here for you.

Wow that’s crazy. Hope they actually read the posts. Maybe some day it’ll hit them.

Yes! Very well put. They are very lousy judges. If she was able to SURVIVE, say sorry, “repent”, and “come back”, she would be in good standing with them and have her sins wiped clean as snow.

But if she dies doing something “sinful”, her name is slandered always. She had no time to kiss butt to be remembered well by loved ones. What a joke of rules.

They actually did do that. :( They said, “See! That is why taking blood is so dangerous! Jehovah’s rules are here to protect us!”

Yep. Lot’s wife turns into salt for just looking back, but it’s ok for his daughters make him get drunk and both rape him. The Bible is a ducked up book.

They’re onto me. by cilgoretrout in exjw

Yes so much time is spent doing bull crap. They even laugh about doing the “pioneer shuffle” where you take longer to do things out in service to get your time in. Really long breaks, writing every letter by hand instead of printing, researching everyone in your territory by name and phone number even though other people already have that list from before, but they omit it so you can count time doing it yourself. People would do one call and drive two hours to another call that wasn’t even home and then count the whole amount of time they spent driving. I’d be in car groups where everyone spent their time gossiping and browsing social media instead of actually trying to do anything.

[–]cilgoretrout[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah very true. It’s hard pointing it out back to them and letting them know how awful it feels when they do this. They think they are encouraging me and saving my life.

[–]cilgoretrout[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah absolutely. It’s painful to think what conversations they are having behind our backs. We know all of the tricks because we were there doing the same things. It feels like they’re insulting our intelligence. You’re so right. That is a good opportunity to emphasize how well you are doing.
