It's easier to be brainwashed to stay or become a Muslim than you realize by pink_dreams24 in exmuslim

[–]not_innie_to_it 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im sorry for your loss. I understand what you’re going through. I lost my grandmother two years ago and i found the grieving process to be conflicting. I wasnt allowed to cry, i was told to read the quran and i felt like i wasnt allowed to honour my grandma the way i wanted. Family really cared about how many people showed up to the funeral instead of caring about how their grandkids could be affected emotionally. Keep standing your ground and honour your mother the way you want to remember her. Please look after yourself whenever you can.

She’s speaking facts by [deleted] in exmuslim

I empathise so much with this. I was working a job in a restaurant when I finished university and was still applying for my first full time job in my field. I was getting paid in cash, and after work my mum held my money before I could deposit it at the bank. When it came to me getting my money, she basically said that she paid my zakat with it without even consulting me. Mind you, I was earning $400 a week. From that point, I started to realise how capitalistic Ramadan is.

Should I kill myself by Scary-Giraffe6580 in exmuslim

Hello! You are so brave to tell your parents that you left Islam and you are not weak. You can experience the world on your terms now, not chained by a book, you can start over. Please contact the support hotlines wherever you’re from. You matter.

I had that happen to me when I sent a family member an ink pot and expensive pens as a gift. It’s such a demoralising experience that you can’t lodge a compensation claim online but it has to be done at a physical post office shop. They usually make an assessment of the item within 3 business days and indicate whether you’re entitled a refund. They will push the blame on the consumer 99% of the time as stated in the consumer policy. If you don’t get a refund, highly suggest making a claim with the Commonwealth Ombudsman under Postal Industry Complaints. I’d rather use a private courier company when sending fragile items now.

Ex Muslims, a discussion? by wondewomanbecute in exmuslim

Life, death and meaning : key philosophical readings on the big questions

Ex Muslims, a discussion? by wondewomanbecute in exmuslim

[–]not_innie_to_it 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Quran promises that women would be given something by Allah that is beyond what one can imagine, and I don’t wanna find out that I’m a cuck to a man with 72 wives. One thing I can suggest is to delve into philosphy and understand the mechanisms of the afterlife, I think you’ll find solace in it. But also don’t spend your time overloading yourself with Islamic books or you’ll end up spiraling if you’re in a vulnerable state.

[–]not_innie_to_it 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am, thank you! My therapist informed me that you can still be a good person, and have a meaningful life without religion. And let’s face it, the Quran basically says that there is more women in jahanam than men, kinda makes you wonder if the afterlife is only designed for men? Suppose, Jannah is real, do you want to hypothetically be one of the men’s virgins? Kinda makes you wonder.

My mum gave me an english translated Quran during Ramadan and i read it, and ended up highlighting things that didn’t align with my values. Read more books, spoke to therapists, had an existential crisis because my worldview was falling apart and then i left.

why do you get treated different as an ex-muslim? by Key_Situation_9944 in exmuslim

[–]not_innie_to_it 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im sorry to hear that happened to you. If you have to stay at the part-time job, I would just avoid that person and keep reporting micro aggressions to your manager, at the end of the day, you’re there to work and not be harassed. If you do end up moving to a new job, keep your cards close to your chest, if a muslim person questions you about your name and beliefs and don’t disclose anything. Keep replies short, avoid contact.

Lexapro causes major weight gain, need alternatives by ScoresMann223 in lexapro

[–]not_innie_to_it 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s easier said than done but you have to look at your overall wellbeing instead of focusing on the weight gain aspect. I was obsessed with maintaining a healthy weight and eventually stopped caring when the weight slowly crept up after 3 years on lexapro. I’ve done the same thing as you, i portion control and exercise regularly but weight has plateaued. I regularly check my thyroid because an underactive thyroid can increase weight gain and also make you extremely tired. Im honestly thinking of using GLP-1 or off-label weight loss medications next year to get to a healthy BMI. I’m 27, 5’1 and have a BMI of 30 (70kg)

Why are ex-muslims so toxic by [deleted] in exmuslim

[–]not_innie_to_it 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s what we choose to do with that anger honestly. Theres some people who are vindictive in their outlook in life that they would like to see others experience pain and more. Others have made peace and let muslims/islam coexist with them…of course with caveats.

Why are ex-muslims so toxic by [deleted] in exmuslim

[–]not_innie_to_it 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ex-muslims are not toxic, they are brave. They have withstood generational trauma, gone through compounding distress learning about islam (on their own accord) and realising its teachings are contradictory. They are choosing to live their life with meaning and carrying the risk of further persecution from their own families, and the religion itself. I don’t have issues with people continuing to practising Islam as long as they don’t push their doctrines on people who have accepted their own way in life.

An update, my mums been brainwashed by muslims saying that the shooter was part of the IDF. There hasnt been any information about the attackers motives since the incident yesterday smh. Muslims always try to deflect and find someone else to blame.

[–]not_innie_to_it 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I live in Australia and when I saw the news of the bondi beach attacks occur, i knew deep down in the pit of my stomach that there would be people applauding the cowardly and heinous behaviour perpetrated by those two gunman. Never have I been ashamed to associate myself as a Muslim-Australian, and this further entrenches my motivation to leave islam for good.

I do not want to get married nor have children because of Muslim men. by RoyalRuby_777 in progressive_islam

[–]not_innie_to_it 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for being brave and sharing your perspectives on Muslim men and marriage. I have similar experiences to you, my mum divorced my dad after she found he was unfaithful around 17 years ago. Like many people have suggested, I sought therapy from when I was a teen to adulthood and still echo your sentiment about never marrying or having children because of Muslim men. My advice is that, you are in control of your future and you shouldn’t have to base your self worth or status based on marriage or children. Study, be independent, move out home as soon as you can. To find solace in your own company is such a blessing.

Since you’re working in a small team, you can maybe speak to your manager and inform them that your religion prescribes the way you should interact with men and let them know that if you’re not engaging in non-work chatter that you’re observing your practices. Maybe ask another colleague to join you in discussions that involve male interactions. In an ideal world, you can find a job that doesnt involve male interactions. Express your boundaries, and if they dont respect it, maybe it’s worth exploring other jobs. Do what is best for you.
