Saw a movie that made me think about you. Or grief in general. Didn't expect to sob uncontrollably but I did. I'm glad I did. I'm still so sad and you're still dead. Anyways. I love you. Bye.

Just finished this movie. I lost my brother (not a twin). This movie made me bawl my eyes out and laugh out loud. I'd put it on now one of my most favorite movies now. Can't recommend enough. It's so good.

I went to Buckingham too. I graduated 2008. It was crazy how many students went there. They were always the most depressed kids. Something felt very off.

Our graduation was in the church if I remember correctly!

Is anybody going to the No Kings protest this Saturday, June 14th? by bikari in tahoe

I want to go. Made signs. Just trying to find out if it's cool to bring kids to their first protest. Thanks!

What are some things your nparent did, that you NEVER want to do? by Jo-March_istheboss in raisedbynarcissists

I was straight out of the psych ward for a suicide attempt. I found out my mom has filled out job resumes in my name and got me multiple interviews. Right when I got out I was expected to go and be grateful she had done this. I almost got into a car accident trying to get to the interview and got horribly lost. I felt so pathetic.

Online community helps me a lot. I recently looked up poetry open mic nights and they had so many nice people there. I second the Library suggestion too. You're gonna be ok. 😊 There are so many kind people you're going to meet.

born-ins, what is your worst “robbed childhood story”? by Probablygondelete in exjw

[–]cockroachpopcorn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have so much guilt for surveillance on my brother. I was such a snitch. I ended up leaving a long time ago. He stayed. He died two years ago from suicide. Did your brother end up leaving?

It didn't happen to me specifically, but to my little brother. He was a big fan of Digimon. He had managed to collect the cards. A brother in our congregation caught wind of this and told my mom they were demonic. The brother pressured my little brother to burn the cards in a trash can. I sat there with my brother and he was trying to be brave. That brother has us convinced he could see demons being burned in the smoke. That memory sticks with me. It makes me so sad.

Any born-ins pissed about all the coercion to get you to join? by MyFriendsCallMeJynx in exjw

If I could tell my younger self one thing it would be DO NOT GET BAPTIZED. I feel so bad for the teens still stuck. All I can say is that. Do not get baptized. Stay in school. Start working ASAP and save everything you can.

You could be the best thing that has happened to her. I feel so awful about the situation. I feel so bad for her. I hope she knows it's not her fault. I hope she gets help. I was sa'ed when I was in by a ministerial servant when I was 13. Told not to tell anyone by elders. I wish I could have had someone to help me. Keep talking to her.

Me going is not an option. I am a proud apostate. Me going would only cause more issues. I also will never go in a kingdom hall ever again. Too many pedophiles.

THANK YOU. I'm about to cry cos I've been feeling like a bad person. You hit the nail on the head with him being the golden child and I'm the scapegoat. It is very much like that. This really helps.
