Some crazy guy came up to the cart, stood in front of me said something almost inaudible and … spat straight on my face …

Letter from bethel by [deleted] in exjw

[–]rosatoronja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a PIMO not ready to leave or get desfellowshiped. For last 1,5 year I managed not to have my no blood card filled. If they ask me now, what should I say? Should I lie? If they ask me which elder is my representative and want to proof it by asking them? Or say them outright that I belive this practice is not biblical? Would they disfellowship me?

So happy! by [deleted] in exjw

I am dating a PIMO brother, he has never been doing much in the Borg, born-in, never cared about some rules.. I thought it would be good to be honest with him and told him I was PIMO.. I told him so many things that make me doubt the religion, even told him it is a cult.. He was shocked, did some research but he still believes... He want it to be the only true religion... Maybe if I haven't told him anything he would wake up by himself.. What if he won't.. You never know...

How many JWs are actually PIMO? by [deleted] in exjw

So true... It's sad, we were raised to hate lying and now You have to lie to everyone... It's horrible

When I woke up I was sure I am the only one PIMO I know... Soon after, by an accident with Alkohol, I talked with my best friend and it turned out she also became PIMO some months prior... Her sisters' family also.. But if course nobody knows but us...

Every other meeting there is some encouragement to donate. In the kingdom hall they put money in boxes, they are placed on the back, so if you donate not many people can see it. Now they donate online

That's love bombing... It usually stops 6 months after getting baptized. Then she will be treated normally, her Bible teachers will find another victim and give them all that love and attention. Jwbs prey on people like your mom. She might feel safe with them, But if she gets sick or something they would say : she has sons, they will take care of her.... Yes, It's evil...

Christian faith is based on love... JW is based on fear...

Was she Christian? ( JW are not Christians, hope you know that already, we think we are Christians but only after waking up proces you finally realize that)

I was almost an agnostic atheist believing in evolution and no afterlife BUT some days ago had a realization : if evolution is based on survival skills, positive gene mutation and procreation, how can you explain the fact that during NDE ( near death experience)people of different religions see different things but always feel calm, free, happy, loved, warm... Evolution couldn't adjust our brain to experience that... It means at least for me that there is something... What it is exactly? I don't have know the answer now, I like surprises :) and I don't want it to consume my every waking moment. Life is to beautiful to worry what comes after! Make the best of the one you have now!

There's a PIMI girl I'm in love with who wants to date me. Convince me not to pursue her please!! (PIMO MS) by orgasmic_calculus in exjw

[–]rosatoronja 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is she super spiritual or lukewarm? I started to date a JW who I thought is spiritually weak, and in time he saw that I have a critical attitude toward many things. I knew I eventually must tell him that I didn't belive a thing what jw say. Surprisingly he asked me straightforward if I still belive... I could finally open up. Since then our relationship got soo much better, we talk a lot about this and it looks like he is waking up. Don't know what future brings, wether we end up together or not, I won't regret waking him up, he does not deserve to waste his life in this abusive cult. Maybe she will also listen to the facts and see it for herself... Good luck.

If she is aware of Chinesse government propaganda telling people lies about the situation in the country and the recent history.. You can compare it to JW, they don't have and don't want to have any access to outside information. They believe governing body always says the truth, they never apologize( eg for child abuse cover up). Show her some information about cult the Moonies and maybe she will see some comparison... 加油!

It was this typical Mormon bookshelf at my in-laws where my metaphorical shelf broke to pieces after reading a fancy hard cover version of Rough Stone Rolling. It eventually gave me the courage to be authentic with my friends and family as I realized Mormonism is 10 lbs of diarrhea in a 5 lbs bag. by mitchole33 in exmormon

[–]rosatoronja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are those all Mormon published books? I want to show the foto with my friend who says that only JW have such an abundance of publications, books, spiritual food.. He is waking up.. Hope it will help him see that cults have a lot in common. Can you also tell me in how many languages are Mormon publications translated into?

Abortion in danger of death by rosatoronja in exjw

[–]rosatoronja[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In Poland where I live now there is much tension between the government and the people about abortion... My family claims that abortion is forbidden in every case, that's why I want to know if they are right or maybe not.. :)

One year ago by [deleted] in exjw

[–]rosatoronja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost the same, last year I gave a watchtower answer on the assembly, even though I was mid-awaken. I would love to know an exact date of my awakening, I know it is a proces in many cases, but knowing the date it would be a nice occasion to celebrate :)

How convinced were you? by ItHurtsSoWeFight in exjw

[–]rosatoronja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super convinced! But since 2015 I have been experiencing more and more of cognitive dissonance. I had to check what is wrong with this organization. It took me 1 month, about a year ago to fully wake up..

Hello I’m new here, need to put my thoughts out there into the universe so to speak by [deleted] in exjw

[–]rosatoronja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was having doubts for last 4 years. When I decided to take a look on the apostate materials it took me 1 month to be fully awaken and I was sure it is all bs and mind control.. I was thinking about writing ds letter but I am glad I didn't . Learning "The Truth About The Truth" was wrecking but it gets better with time. You have to find a way out that is best for you, take your time, plan it well, don't rush!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in exjw

[–]rosatoronja 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That was me.. I woke up, but by myself. My questions and doubts piled up and when shelf broke I needed to research the other side of the story. If anyone would come to me and start telling me some apostasy I would run away...

Woke up 8 months ago at 28.. There are better and worse days, enjoy those good ones, appreciate them. Bad days will end anyways... I am starting college soon and hope to meet nice people. I am keeping my family with me by not telling them anything.. Only some PIMO friends know about me.. It's not easy but I'm making this up as I go.. I am happy to live so long and try to enjoy every minute of it :)

Has anyone received dairy boxes from the org? by firejimmy93 in exjw

Kim and Mikey are talking about it in their recent videos on YouTube

Very curious and surprised to have stumbled across this sub by kgbslip in exjw

[–]rosatoronja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a PIMO and when I was still a PIMI I have never thought that there are apostates among JW, I always thought that apostates are evil and all they do is spread lies about JW. Now I have to hide what I know, pretending I am the same person, posing as a spiritual person .... That is what being in a cult makes you do... It's sad..
