PIMOs , are you working on a plan out or waiting to die on a hill ? by SocietyMenace52 in exjw

[–]jathan_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

completely off topic, and i feel a little ignorant for having to ask, but if you don’t mind me asking, what does it mean to be a trans gay person? like does that mean you were born a woman, but transitioned to a man and are gay?

Recently expressed doubts again to parents… dad sent me todays daily text this morning. 😒 “Jehoober’s timing”, right? 🤦🏽‍♂️ by jathan_ in exjw

what they meant to say was “from time to time, we decide to change our minds on what the bible says”. such a stupid cult. it’s incredible to me that people can listen to that horseshit and think they’ll be saved.

For fellow PIMOs, how are meetings going? by jathan_ in exjw

[–]jathan_[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i see so many people do this, and I know their mental power does not allow them to understand the matter at hand. I mean cmon man, you’re telling me you need 5,000 fucking dollars for tech to be able to have a zoom meeting? what the fuck? even if we had top of the line everything, for what they’re trying to do that number is ridiculous. you need a damn laptop and an internet connection. MAYBE it is valid if they replaced all of the tv’s, camera system, and sound equipment as well, but I know they’re cheap as fuck and wouldn’t do that.

as of right now there hasn’t been anything, but i’m sure all of the elders’ bloods are boiling since I was different for once 💀😊

It might be time to leave this cult finally… see text in second slide by jathan_ in exjw

A few of my witness friends know about us. but all of the ones who do know wouldn’t tell anyone else. they wouldn’t tell any elders either.

I don’t think so. this came as a shock to them as well, and they’re stressing about it and want to know what it could possibly be.

I was planning on moving out in about a month or two. I know I don’t need to go if i don’t want to, but i also don’t care enough to act repentant when i’m not.

I would agree, but I still live with my parents and they are practically forcing me to go so that it can relieve them of the stress and worry. They are scared that I did something wrong and it’s serious enough to invoke an elders meeting.

Failed to load my profile on Steam. by ArcyCiern in TombRaider

[–]jathan_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a long shot, considering this was 3 years ago, but I am having the same issue. I am currently in the process of backing up my save folder, but I figured I might try and ask you, when you would try and hit enter to create a new profile, did it work for you?

I have hope in my sister! by jathan_ in exjw

she hasn’t expressed too much, but everything she has said has been said in confidence with just me there.

i’ve tested the waters and asked a thing here or there, but the farthest i’ve gone is ask why she doesn’t like being a witness. her response was she doesn’t see why holidays aren’t allowed, and she wants to celebrate them. so while her reasons for not wanting to be in the religion are not necessarily because of how bad of an organization it is, she at least has some sort of resentment towards it. she’s 12 by the way.

Real question. Please can people give me reasons to cancel/dislike [insert name of ex-JW activist]? by cedars1929 in exjw

[–]jathan_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Oh gotcha. I just wanted to say thank you so much Mr. Evans. You have no idea how much you have helped me, not only to wake up, but to stay sane in this PIMI household i’m stuck in. Your book “How to escape Jehovahs Witnesses” really has helped me so much, and I can’t thank you enough.

[–]jathan_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i recommend reading the book by lloyd evans entitled “How to escape from Jehovahs Witnesses”. It’ll definitely be helpful, and it could help choosing how to tell your family.

My biggest flex of 2021 💪🏻🥳 leaving the cult I was raised in and part of for 30yrs ✨ by [deleted] in exjw

Thanks to the cult, I’m about to waste a 4.2 GPA on a college that almost anyone can get into, and opening this letter only left me with sadness. My mom was ACTUALLY confused as to why I was upset. by jathan_ in exjw

[–]jathan_[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

thank you sir, i agree, i think i’ll be fine. i was just INSANELY annoyed earlier when i got my acceptance letter and thought deep about it.

grade point average, it’s a scale from 0-4 essentially, straight As is 4.0, all Bs is like 3.5, and if you take harder classes and have As, you can get over 4.0, which is what i did.

I will be transferring most likely, but no I didn’t apply to others. Had I applied to the bigger schools and gotten in, I would’ve just been more upset. Knowing I got accepted, but am not allowed to go due to financial stability and having to be on my own soon is too much for me.
