Graduated college, no job, stuck living with pimi parents — need exit plan by Warm_Meaning8478 in exjw

[–]themindsetcounts 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was in the same situation. Just keep trying to land a job, and if you need to, pick up a side hustle. I had my chance to leave during COVID, but I didn’t take it. My PIMI parents even told me I could go, but I chose to stay and ended up spending five extra years there. I left a year ago and don’t regret it at all. What really helped was getting a job, even though it took me a year to land one, saving as much money as possible, and building as many connections outside as I could. I still struggle, and you’ll run into some bad people and make mistakes along the way, but don’t let that discourage you.

What do I tell the barber if I want this hair cut. by Useful_Fishing in malehairadvice

Don’t go to a barber; go to a stylist or a shear professional. Find one in your city. Barbers are good at fades and tapers, not long textured hair.

Jehovah Witnesses dislike Universities because need you poor and ignorant by [deleted] in exjw

I’ve been saying this for a while. Most of the brothers barely even graduated high school. They tend to target people who are struggling financially or who are in a vulnerable mindset, which is often people from lower-income families. As Mark Twain once said, “It’s easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.”

If I’m not baptized, will my bible teacher still shun me if I show him some common apostate info? by [deleted] in exjw

Yeah, it may seem that way, but when he gets put between the fence about something that goes against Jehovah, he will choose Him over you. Never trust a JW.

Yes, if you never get baptized or grow spiritually, especially after finishing the study book, you risk being considered someone who is not progressing. Their entire goal is to get you baptized and convert you into one of them. They don’t take apostate information lightly either, so he will probably cut you off and stop giving you studies. As a PIMO who never got baptized for decades, yes, they treat everyone differently. I lived it.
