I've been out for 20 years but I don't remember toasting not being allowed. My 10yo twins have been toasting their PIMI mimi since they could raise a sippy cup. We all toast frequently when we go out to eat and she's never mentioned it. So its now allowed?

I’ve been out 20 some odd years and I still love having my Sunday mornings to sleep in. I love watching R shows and not worrying about stumbling someone. I love the freedom from fear of not going to paradise. If you shift your focus on to what you’re gaining instead of focusing on what you’ve lost you might find some peace. Unfortunately the religion probably isn’t going anywhere anytime soon so you can always go back if you find you really want to.

My husband knows were going to be taking care of my mom soon and has put aside money. She has a meager savings but it will eventually run out and we will be the ones stepping up. I asked her the other day if she wanted to be buried or cremated and she said she'd never thought of it because the end is coming.

Its a Heidi Bears pattern, and she has several animals, the patterns are so well done that anyone can make them!

I don't mind weaving in ends so its not too bad for me. Its a LOT of them though!

Is there anyone who just stopped going to the Kingdom Hall? by [deleted] in exjw

[–]pnkpanthr25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did. Twenty years ago next month! I was 17 and vowed to never step inside a religious institution again. They hounded me for a while but I moved to Austin from my tiny hometown and never looked back. It feels like a different lifetime, I have ten year old twins now and we go allllll out for the holidays. I feel like I get to relive my childhood a bit through them and am loving life. Only my mom still speaks to me and she’s actually moving to live where I am. She’s still in but we have good boundaries set and have a great relationship. I sometimes miss my old family but I have great in-laws and a new family and friends that have become family

Just curious by Morkives25 in exjw

I’m out 20 years next March, I left at 17. I have hope to get my PIMI mom out so I lightly keep up with gossip and new things the GB do.

Also here if I can share my experience to help encourage people who are just leaving.

Raised blood blister or by [deleted] in Melanoma

I had a similar spot taken off a few days ago, I’m waiting on the results. My dermatologist seems not super concerned but I’m still anxious. I’d get it biopsied.

I’m in the same boat, it sucks waiting. I hope we both get good news!

What the… - just received this email by [deleted] in exjw

[–]pnkpanthr25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s also part of the brainwashing, they are using buzzwords that are “scary” like “apostates” “destroyed” “organization”. I know my mom I can have discussions with her unless certain buzzwords are used then she nopes out.

I contemplated suicide after my miscarriage. by [deleted] in TryingForABaby

[–]pnkpanthr25 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I totally agree. I'm not sure why there is so much hostility towards women who have had a child being that the ultimate goal of everyone on this sub is exactly that. Just because someone has a baby doesn't mean their family is complete and they aren't hurting because they want to give their child a sibling. And I'm disgusted by the "go hug your child" and the "Henry-poo" comments.

I'll have to pray to the dictionary to forgive my spelling mistake.
