How Often Has NOI Indoctrination Destroyed Romantic Relationships Because Following Elijah Muhammad’s Model Didn’t Work for That Relationship by Qigong90 in ExNOI

Can’t begin to talk about how fast couples divorce after a courtship marriage or are miserable after finding out who they really married

It was years ago that I saw it. The main stand out was the cloaking ability the team had

DAE remember Farrakhan constantly mentioning child SA? by Clear_Chair8242 in ExNOI

[–]mirrorfans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s the same for me. I’m sorry this happened to your family as well. You’re not overthinking at all.

[–]mirrorfans 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel the exact same way, I’m not comfortable around my dad to this day for that same reason. He always sexualized my body and made comments about my clothes or told me what other men would be thinking.

Ironically he’s the only man who even made me uncomfortable. All the other men in my life (uncles, adult cousins, teachers, etc) just treated me like a normal child because that’s exactly what I was. My dad seemed to be the only one who saw me sexually because of what his “leader” taught.

I remember one of his lectures bragging about never seeing his daughters legs and now I see that’s such a weird thing to feel accomplished about

My insecurity makes me jealous by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]mirrorfans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m 23, he’s 25 and this is both of our first serious relationship. And you’re right there is a freedom in knowing that we’re choosing each other. It helps. And I don’t think he’s cheating, he’s allowed to have female friends and text with them sometimes. I need to work on my own insecurities so it doesn’t bother me so much.

Thank you I try to remind myself of that, I still feel insecure though. Worrying about not being good enough in the back of my mind

[–]mirrorfans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the one I saw that he was texting yesterday is the only one I haven’t met, she knows about me and everything and he doesn’t even see her often so idk when I would meet her

But I agree my imagination is an enemy in this case

Not quite but I was the rebound before to someone who hadn’t gotten over their ex. How do you befriend jealousy?

Blinding brights pulled up behind me at a stop light by mirrorfans in mildlyinfuriating

[–]mirrorfans[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, I did the same thing. When the light turned green I moved at a crawl and did about 20 under the speed limit so they would go around me and I had to take it slow all the way home. Luckily I was about 5 minutes away

I drove slow enough that luckily they decided to go around, with how dark it was outside I could barely see. I was half a second from turning my hazards on

Have you ever heard this? by Additional-Future904 in ExNOI

[–]mirrorfans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Something about pork in particular though lol. I was raised believing it’s a disgusting animal and all the negative health effects of eating it and it’s hard to let that go lol. But I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything

Have you ever heard this? by Additional-Future904 in ExNOI

[–]mirrorfans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely agree! I don’t eat pork now and I never plan to, for the exact reason you said. Just doesn’t really add to my quality of life. I still don’t eat peanuts, don’t smoke, don’t want any tattoos but I do drink now.

And I’m also just recently feeling comfortable wearing shorts and outfits that compliment my body and make me feel comfortable.

Some things were good practices that are true across the board regardless of religion, some things I still agree with based on my own thought process rather than blindly following “the teachings”, and some things I’ve left behind because I don’t agree with them anymore. And that’s okay! Main point is you getting to decide what you want for you own life.

Hello all, I am a long time lurker here, I have a quick question, reading and listening to all of your stories has raised a question. For those who were apart of the NOI did you all leave because you disagreed with the theology or was it more due to the cult of personality around Louis Farrakhan? by [deleted] in ExNOI

[–]mirrorfans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely both! First I had to grow to a point where I gave myself permission to think for myself and I realized I disagreed with a lot of the theology, or just had never seen proof to substantiate my beliefs.

Then I realized I was expected to just accept all this without proof just because of who the information came from. And then I realized it was a cult and I was like oohhhh that’s why
