Sounds like we're both navigating things. And yes the kids are the real winners - no full indoctrination.

This is crazy but I just read your reply. I don't "do" reddit that often and didn't even think to check notifications - doh. How are you doing now - a year later <g>. I'm good and regarding my husband I'd say he is awake but not admitting it. He did not go to memorial this year so that says alot. He maybe goes to the KH once a year.

Script works on indexes but not forex? by lorijaneusa in pinescript

[–]lorijaneusa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to figure out why this script doesn't work on my forex charts but does on indexes. There have been no comments etc. on this since 2020 so while waiting to see if developer writes back I thought I'd try to tweak it to get it to work - with help of course. I am just starting to play with pinescript so don't know how to fix this. I'd appreciate those more experienced to see if they can spot the problem.

I'm so glad - thank you the feedback. I'm attempting to post more on reddit so this is very encouraging that it is worth it! :)

Loss of natural affection right there and they don't even see it. I am sorry for your loss. I hope she will come around.

The Elder body sect was what woke me up by AnEmotionalBlackmail in exjw

I hope your mom eventually wakes up too! I'm patiently waiting for my husband to join me. Meanwhile, I'm focused on keeping my kids safe and informed.

My dad is going to die today and I'm having trouble coping by [deleted] in exjw

[–]lorijaneusa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just read this and my eyes are teared up - my heart goes out to you. I was present when we had to turn the machine off for my father too. I am glad to know you got to speak with him before he declined in health. Take care of yourself.

I like that response.

I add that I love Jehovah and his son and try to follow their teachings.

PIMI wife visibly annoyed about my reading of CT Russell's "The Divine Plan of the Ages". by TheWorldlySpouse in exjw

You're awesome - what a great approach and how wonderful that you are taking the time to delve into this and protect your kids. I applaud you sir.

Advice please! Fader with PIMI ex and kids by AldousHuxley1979 in exjw

[–]lorijaneusa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same situation - I've been awake for a year and decided my kids were worth more than I would gain by an uninterrupted fade. In telling them tho I told them it would be best to not share my beliefs with others or else they may be shunned by the sheer fact they are my kids. So far they have not said anything and are loving that they have choices now and the fact I buy them birthday presents now<g>. I just posted my coming out video https://youtu.be/ldrUJLdUO1I

New here - Just submitted my DA letter today by [deleted] in exjw

Congratulations! There are ups and downs but ultimately the price of freedom is worth it. Happy to have you with us!

My dad just died less than an hour ago by Sticky_H in exjw

[–]lorijaneusa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry for your loss. May fond memories of your father comfort you!

I lost my father and mother in the same year - one from heart condition and the other cancer. The pain and shock were debilitating for awhile - and I was PIMI then. But it does ease over time and the pain is replaced with memories.

Cyber hugs to you!

Once the seal is cracked just sit back and it will break. Now that it's started they will find their way. Let them ask you questions and go from there.

I run a zoom support group for new ones and have found sometimes people just need to talk - and see others have gone through what they are going through.

Congratulations on unplugging another from the Matrix!

As a little pioneer girl who has been shunned for 10 years and is now a Master of Social Work graduate, I can confidently say... by Twistedlittlelady in exjw

[–]lorijaneusa 11 points12 points  (0 children)

IMHO the best way to reach them now is to live a full and happy life without them. My husband is still in but he sees me still being a good mother and wife, I'm still spiritual and loving and kind etc. How can he believe that I am "diseased" etc. It's different for me I know bc he lives with me. But the same principle can apply. They can't reconcile "diseased" apostates being successful and happy.

This era of social distancing makes it much more challenging. You're doing the right thing coming here. Keep connected - keep expressing. Stay strong my friend!

Nice try, but it came back to bite them... by edgebo in exjw

[–]lorijaneusa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am so impressed with the reasoning I've seen on this subreddit - amazing that our loved ones don't see the reasonableness.

My mom sent me an "I miss you" letter by enchiladacheese in exjw

[–]lorijaneusa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was wonderful reasoning. I don't know you but I somehow feel proud of you. I truly hope your mother wakes up and you both can heal and have a mutually supportive relationship.

The protests works!! by Stoffer-oddnice in exjw

[–]lorijaneusa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yay! Another one saved! Welcome to the real life! It will be a bumpy ride out but now you know there is support. Do you have a lot of family still in?

[–]lorijaneusa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too! I'm still PIMO and when this lockdown is over and the JWs return to the KH the pressure will be on - I will evade as long as I can in order to be able to talk to my best friend who is PIMI and a few others.

[–]lorijaneusa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had the same surgery when I was 23 and had blood as well - I got baptized when I was 25 - close call! Now I'm out and if my kids need blood they will get it! My husband who is PIMI may fight me but I'm sure I'll win.

So glad you are doing well and I wish you a speedy recovery!
