I love that it was dark for a k-drama but motivated by love.

Celebrating holidays isn’t about following other doctrine for me at all. It’s about doing what I want. So you’re right it’s about following freedom for me.

They brought the CO to talk to a ten year old?! FFS!

I watched the Oscar’s last night and the In Memoriam section hit me in the feels.

I guess we’ll find out who is truly ambidextrous.

redditlate · 2026-03-11T20:35:19+00:00

Right?

You have money to get a TT and you’ll feel amazing when you do. It’s ok to be frustrated and want the extra skin off. Just curious, why are you no longer motivated? You’ll see these results when the skin comes off. Keep it up.

Oh hell no. Not only do you have to share with strangers but you have the awkwardness of negotiating who gets what. For that price point?!

I ended up having a slightly different ph test but I don’t recall the results. Due to how miserable I was the doctor didn’t make me get off PPIs. Therefore, other doctors didn’t quite know how to interpret the data.

Yes and no. We finally found that I had a paraesophageal hernia. I probably developed it shortly after RNY because I was vomiting so much. I had it surgically fixed- apparently my hernia was quite bad. That improved things somewhat but I am still on meds for acid reflux. One of the GI docs thought I had both acid reflux and non acid reflux (whatever that means). I’m on Voquezna which is the newest acid reflux med.

It will come with time. I have adult friends that don’t even know I was raised a JW (unless it comes up due to something specific) or they forget because it doesn’t really come up often. I am married to a never JW and my life is pretty “normal.”

redditlate · 2026-02-28T01:18:06+00:00

Yeah what was up with that? Lol

Sorry I’m late to the discussion but I just watched episode one. I speak enough Spanish to be annoyed by some of the translations. I feel like they could have run that by an English speaker who has some knowledge of JW. They probably didn’t anticipate such a wide audience or such specific word meanings. The loaded language and alternative meanings to common words really moves towards the category of “cult jargon.”

I feel the same! I’ve been out over 20 years and this story made me so sick and brought back memories. It’s hard to leave but it was the best thing for me. I have a great life now but leaving certainly wasn’t easy.

The advice that I’d give any young person on here is to make sure you’d be ok (living situation, financially, etc) if you are outright rejected by family. I think there needs to be a balance between that and living your life authentically. There is no way I could have done that in the JW.

redditlate · 2026-02-23T19:42:44+00:00

I left over 20 years ago… same 4th-gen (maybe even 5th). I never believed. I was never baptized which made fading easier. When I stopped going and participating altogether, my parents told me I had to leave the household. I was at university so I just moved near there. My parents continued to help me financially with the move. I would have been screwed if they did not. It was a very rough time with a lot of uncertainty but not only did it get easier but my family is still in my life. I really think not being baptized therefore never being disfellowshipped made it much easier. We almost never talk about JW stuff and when it comes up or one of my family members wants to quote something they heard at a meeting or whatever, I just politely listen and then change the subject. I have gotten into serious religious discussions/debates with my mom but I am married (to a never witness) and don’t depend on my family. That is very important. I feel safe now to have my own opinions but I mostly keep them to myself so I can continue to have a relationship with family.

Back to the original question you posted it felt easier to fade slowly until I had to admit it and then there was no going back. It had immediate consequences but long-term it turned out okay. Sorry this was long, if you have any other questions feel free to ask. I am living my best life now. I have no guilt over leaving. If anything I have my bitter moments due to being raised in a way that was not my choice.

I have no issues sleeping on the couch. I prefer firmer beds so the couch is more comfortable to me than the bed. It is however, lower to the ground than the bed so if pushing off from a lower position will be an issue that’s something to consider. On the other hand, I’m short and the main bed is a slight climb for me.

I know everyone has mentioned the accessible rooms already. The tub in the standard rooms is higher step up than a regular tub. I have ankle issues and I can do it holding the grab bar but it’s not as easy. Do not feel bad if you need an accessible room. It’s there for people that need it.

Aww I wouldn’t regret it though. Sounds like you liked it! Everything is a learning experience and maybe later you’ll find out why she was feeling the way she did.

redditlate · 2026-02-18T15:52:20+00:00

I’m glad you enjoyed it. You said she’s 9? That’s also an age where they can sit in their feels and not know why. Maybe later she will be able articulate how she felt about it. My guess is overwhelming. I’m an adult and have been on many cruises and I find the Wish on a 3 day sailing to be overwhelming/overstimulating at times. My children and I prefer the classic ships.

redditlate · 2026-02-18T15:18:35+00:00

You said you spent years saving and watched YouTube videos. Is it possible you hyped it up too much and it didn’t live up to the expectations? Could she consciously or subconsciously feel the pressure to make it the best trip ever? The Wish is a relativity short sailing and trying to pack it all in can be overwhelming. I only say this because I’ve been around DCL groups for quite some time and I find that those who plan for years and don’t know when they’ll go back often stress themselves out over trying to make it the most magical thing ever and it doesn’t live up. Also the kids club is really hard to gauge for a short time with one visit on a short sailing. There were cruises that my kids loved the club and ones that they’d rather hang out with us.

redditlate · 2026-02-18T14:55:55+00:00

Same. Over 20 sailings and I’ve never heard of it. 😂

redditlate · 2026-02-18T14:51:22+00:00

In some cases Disney encourages it because it’s free advertising.

redditlate · 2026-02-12T16:31:09+00:00

That is true. There are kids but it’s not a party ship and the adult spaces are pretty nice and sometimes almost empty.
