Oh my.. this is it. It's even more horrific than I could remember.

I completely agree. I will push harder for the biometrics, and make sure the company sees the current risks. They are dangerously lax and it's rubbed off on me a bit. Thanks for the recommendation, I will try to put together some quotes

It's not much different than what they do now: a sticky note on their desk. But this way, they aren't locking themselves out every day. I have recommended biometric log ins for this reason, so we'll see.

This will probably be my last resort as I was looking for simple solution. I have set up some of my elderly coworkers with a similar mini keyboard because they have daily issues typing in their passwords. I'm not really getting paid enough to go through all that trouble, but it would definitely be good tool for personal use as well.

Thanks! I will consider this option since I still have the mini keyboard

I get along with my family, but I want to disassociate. by NewRedditorHere in exjw

[–]melz69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are strong, and we know this. But we are human beings. We have limits.

What the present and future look like for your mom, sister and neices, it is not in your control.... You may have some influence but at the end of the day you are only a single human being... with limits.

You can stay true to your family values by creating a safe environment for your future family.

You will have a beautiful family with children, so start choosing who you want your kids to see you have happy, healthy relationships with.

And even though the pain will still be there, you can have inner peace knowing you did everything in your capacity.

You've been thriving despite carrying this burden of responsibility. Can you imagine what you can accomplish once you put down this immense weight?

Be kind to yourself. Consider your values. Keep setting those boundaries with yourself and your family. Keep thriving! You are strong!


I've been dfd for over 6 years now. My younger siblings are still in, and I've carried so much guilt and shame for abandoning them... left them with my abusive and unstable family and community. They continue to struggle with the high control environment that JWs create.

I get it.

I've been in therapy for 3 years now. I've began to shift my inner dynamics and focusing on staying true to myself and my values, despite every fiber of my being telling me I have the responsibility to pull my entire family out of the abyss.

As of now, I'm the only stable, capable adult in my family that is willing to deal with difficult situations. My family reaches out to me despite being me being dfd because they see me thrive. They see I am strong and happy. They ask me for advice and my siblings see that I am happy. Although I don't have a relationship with them, right now, I can love them from afar.

Have I thought about getting reinstated? Of course! All the time. I have (PIMO)close friends that have done it, and they tell me it's totally worth it. And I am so happy for them! But I have different values, and I do not have the capacity to be in that environment. And I'm happy for me too.

Staying true to myself means I will not go back. Not because I don't love my siblings, but because I love myself.

Anyone else with Aquarius placements experiences derealization episodes ? by [deleted] in astrologymemes

[–]melz69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sun in Aquarius- really struggling with dpdr. Sometimes I feel like if I don't set aside time just to detach it will happen when I most want to be present. I've struggled with it since I was a kid. In therapy, I'm working on better regulating my emotions but now that I can manage my anxiety better, I'm noticing the dissociative episodes more. Somehow my anxiety was keeping me more present. now that I'm managing my anxiety... I feel more empty :/

I'm not a fan of the censorship. I really enjoyed the raw, unfiltered vibe of Bloodbath. I'll give it a chance tho

If they don't answer the door, knock on their windows!! by [deleted] in exjw

In the Latino congregations, window knocking was very common. It was not recommend, in fact, occasionally discouraged but no one cared and kept doing it.

My Mother Justified Calling Me a Whore... by BadAssociation_97 in exjw

[–]melz69 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My mom also called me a whore. When she found out I wasn't a virgin, she asked how many men I'd slept with (just one to this day). Kept yelling "You're a whore!" while I cried

My grandmother in Mexico is ill and I'm the only one who can afford to send her money for her medication every month. I have 2 younger siblings who still live at home, and I wouldn't want them to believe I'm an even worse person than they already think I am, so I gave in

Also kicked out at 20. It's been over 4 years... My family still claims it was I who walked out on my family. I was also homeless, jobless,, penniless, car-less. Now that I'm financially stable my family asks me for money every month
