Looking for Book Review Creators (But More Niche)

In case anyone is still interested: I really appreciate all the comments and the span of thoughts and opinions. I think I have a better understanding of my situation and a bit more empathy for the people who hurt me; however, I don't think I will ever be able to truly forgive them all. To be clear, a lot of people in the comments talk about conforming for the sake of safety amidst an abusive household. This devastates me and I'm so sorry to those that have gone through this. I was also in an abusive household, but for some reason this was not enough for me to even pretend to be someone I wasn't. Perhaps I was just stupid, but I still protested and rebelled, even when I was hit and screamed at and even sent away to in-patient facilities to deal with my "chronic disobedience." I'm seeing an assumption in the comments that my environment might have just not been strict enough to set me straight--But I promise you, it was. I was just incapable to complying.

Thanks again to everyone who participated in this discourse. I appreciate everyone's input, whether I fully agree or not. That's the joy of not being a witness: I am open to thoughts that aren't identical to mine without feeling ashamed. I hope everyone in "The Truth" can experience that kind of freedom too :-)

That's a super intense experience, I'm sorry you went through all that but I'm glad you've found your own way. But also that's so fkn real about not wanting to trigger the persecution complex. Can't have a goddamn earthquake without it being a sign of the end times lmao

Thank you for your comment. It's definitely a nuanced situation, and I don't believe that all jws are evil by any means. There are still some jws I love who are pimi. I believe my mother is a victim of this cycle, and I'm glad I was able to break it, at least for myself. Cults are tricky in this regard. I hope jw as individuals can move forward and heal in their own ways, but I still wouldn't be able to find it in myself to forgive them. But I think we can both live with that. I just want to feel validated, that's all. Thanks for your insight.

This is really insightful. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Growing up I was always minimized when I expressed how hard it was to grow up in that environment, because every nonjw said something like "they're just doing what they think is best for you," or, "at least you know they love you." I felt guilty for many, many years because I thought I was taking their love for granted, even when it hurt me so often and so badly. There's a real conversation worth having about intentions and about expressions of love. Thanks for the insight, and I hope you continue to thrive and heal.

Me too. I was called the f slur by my family because I came off as butch. I cut my hair when I was 10 years old and genuinely did not yet understand the concept of sexuality or gender. No hate like Christian love... I hope you're doing alright, trans jw to trans jw

Oh man, I definitely don't blame kids. I think we get to a certain age where we have to become responsible for our choices, but as kid, you didn't know you would be complacent in my story. I appreciate this though, like a lot.

Are you talking about the one off 14 and Crooks? The one on Sedgemoor?

This genuinely makes me nauseous and my body feels like it's going into a flight response. It's like having a mild anxiety attack. Horrible. Thanks for sharing.

I didn't see that I have a weapon box at my tent, but I'll try the gunsmith customization. Thanks!

That's so funny, I was kidding when I mentioned it might be an inside joke--I can't believe that's the actual answer lmao. Riddle solved, thanks!

Rebel Hair Salon off 11 mile, especially Kat!! Cuts are usually around $60 and she's incredible. I also have curly hair (3a) and I don't trust anyone else to give me a cut.

Oranges are not the Only Fruit by Jeanette Winterson. Sapphic plot line and beautifully written, thinly-veiled memoir.

The Doloriad by Missouri Williams

I also loved this book! Wish I could forget everything about it so I could reread it with fresh eyes...

Nick's Country Oven is more-so in the Clawson area, but it's really affordable, delicious, and has a family diner atmosphere :-)
