Anyone Else Totally Desensitized To The Delta Variant With A Side Of Futility Or Is It Just Me. Im Wearing

It's interesting to me how people in high control groups believe they are being persecuted despite being heavily supported by governments and their culture. From my own experience, I think its easy to pretend your feelings of embarrassment caused by your own doubts about the group, are actually a result of "the world looking down on us". I would see people joking about us or about other Christians and feel terrible because I agreed with their points, but internalized it as "they hate me". Still, seeing content like this helped sort through my feelings even though at the time I wished it would just go away.

Hey to any exjws.

While I may not know you, I know the pain you are feeling. I have felt how suffocating it all is, I have bled like you might be right now, I have done things I'm not proud of just to cope with it.

I'm telling you this because please don't ever for one moment feel like you deserve this. You are not alone. You are not sinful. You are not wicked. You will get through this. You will make it past this.

You can trust me when I say that because I made it through.

We are survivors

i dont remember making this but im glad that i did

The original pride flag and the sewing machine it was sewn on

The way I've seen abuse normalized as a Jehovah's Wittness is appaling. I know so many people, including some in my family, who are stuck with abusive partners under threat of excommunication or "sinning against god". Few victims ever leave and those who find out about the situation often praise the victim for putting god first by staying.

On the other hand children are told their value exists in being fully obedient to their parents to please god. You are explicitly told that even if the parent is wrong or listening to them upsets you, it doesn't matter. Yet, they're surprised when abusers flourish.

Members can't acknowledge this because their relationship with the organization is the same. You do everything you're told, often in your worst interest, and you can't leave.

happy kagepro day!!!! 

Can you really present Christian weddings as monogamous when they're inherently throuples?

There's you, there's God, and there's your side-person, oh right. The term is spouse.

Anyone have PIMO birthday ideas? My birthday day is coming up and while I can't exactly throw a party I want to do something nice in the spirit of rebellion. Especially since this will essentially be my first!
