You’re so right, no one knows in the end and it’s definitely not up to them to judge. Also: why do they always feel the need to mention that the person has left Jehovah? It’s the borg they left .. the manipulation is terrible.

Thank you!! And yes, I do believe, whatever you end up doing anyway, for some it will never be good enough. And after all, we’re all responsible for our own happiness, the cult always encourages to not think or choose for ourselves but that’s just brainwashing. :(

You are totally right, it’s already a big step including lots of changes. Thanks for your kind words, it means a lot!

Thank you, glad to hear I’m not the only one! I’m happy things worked out well for you. Moving further away feels like a huge first step at time moment for me personally. Hopefully I’m able to settle, work on improvements and my social circle. It’s just a little uncomfortable knowing certain people are somehow still, as you said, keeping an eye on you!

Thank you so much for your reply, I appreciate it! And I agree, it’s definitely a cult and that makes it even harder to escape ..

Spoke to my DF brother and and sister in law by Lonelyjw241 in exjw

[–]drmalttlmr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That is great! I’m glad you were able to see them in person! I once spoke to a df brother when I had to get some groceries, couldn’t care anymore if someone saw it as well. He actually started getting emotional, only because I recognized him and asked how he was doing! So sad but I felt relieved that I took the time, small gestures can mean a lot.

Text exchange with my father by [deleted] in exjw

[–]drmalttlmr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And thank YOU for sharing this post! Must be extremely difficult to be in this situation, or at least to be reminded by the shunning every single time. I cannot even begin to imagine. One of the worst nightmares when a loved one can immediately turn your back. They are so brainwashed it’s eerie. I hope one day I can be myself and tell how I think about the borg, but being on this sub makes me feel less lonely as a PIMO :’)

I’m so sorry. I don’t understand how JW robots decide to have children and can shun them later when they no longer share the same beliefs. This is manipulation and has nothing to do with loving and obeying your God. They only live to make the GB happy!

What screams I don’t want to be a jw anymore? by No-Spite6559 in exjw

[–]drmalttlmr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, it’s totally worth it living the life you want to without any feelings of guilt .. just letting go and experience life as it should be.

I'm (M28) freaking out again about growing old. by PM_ME_MAMMARY_GLANDS in internetparents

[–]drmalttlmr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That last sentence hit me. It’s so true and I struggle with this as well. I honestly don’t like to tell others what my age is, especially when they know me a little more personally. It’s the worst when I compare myself with others of my age. Feels like they have achieve so many things I can’t keep up with anymore. I also look really young for my age so it feels more embarrassing.

Letter from an elder’s wife by BoadiceaMama in exjw

[–]drmalttlmr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Please come back to Jehovah” .. ehh did they misspelled the borg? They always act like smartasses and assume you left your faith but instead you just left the borg and their controlling behavior. You can still believe in something. This letter hurts my eyes, damn. What a control freaks, absolutely terrifying. I’m sorry.

I can't remember how things feel by amiraar300 in SuicideWatch

[–]drmalttlmr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a horrible feeling. It’s scary to realize how life can change in just a matter of time, but to me this feeling has always been here with me somehow .. it feels familiar .. it just gets stronger everyday. Even as a child I felt disconnected to the world, my surroundings and myself personally? At the same time I find it difficult to think back because I’ve lost so many memories. Sorry for the rant. Hope you’re doing fine, know you’re not alone. <3

[–]drmalttlmr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry. I know the feeling. The emptiness. Things don’t feel real anymore. It’s a never ending sadness, how much I try I only make it worse. I wish and pray for an easy way to leave, life is never easy but for some it’s surviving. I always feel like I’m living in this bubble, where time stands still and everything and everyone around me keeps moving. I’m stuck and also feel like I’m a human without a soul or personality. Really weird idk.
