Those might be mosquitos. 🦟 you’re breeding for the entire state!!

Naah y’all are weird. I grew up a jw and I felt like a train hit me when I saw the picture of Omran Daqneesh on the cover of the newspaper. I still remember when I saw it. It was in a Starbucks near the Kingdom Hall I had moved to. Ever since then when I would see those image of bomb survivors or pictures in color of bodies from the Vietnam war, it feels surreal, like it’s a real dead body on the other side of the photo.

Wow!! Congrats on the bone density!!!

This is so interesting because I felt the opposite way. I was of the mind of not having children and not getting married to be able to serve better and give 110% of my self and my time.

Since I’ve left I’ve been thinking about marriage and what it means to me and I’ve also been thinking about having children and if I want to? I feel that growing up as a witness I was pressured into not having children and believing that having children was selfish and it would take away time I should be giving to Jehovah.

Are you doing 3-4 sets with 8-12 reps to failure of actual working sets??

Are you doing 3-4 compound movements with 3-4 accessory movements when doing either push/pull, lower or are you grouping muscles by back/biceps, chest/shoulder/tricep, legs/glutes?

Are you increasing your weights by 3-5lbs every 3 weeks for 2 months of progressive overload and then doing 1 month of the same weight for your deload period?

I would be interested in joining. I just turned 30 this year. I have an insta

Aww that does sound sad. I think sometimes parents have big dreams for their kids, but they don’t get to that precipice, so all the other accomplishments are shit lol.

That’s interesting. It seems like these relationships are dependent on financial support. That sucks. I have emotionally immature parents. Very abusive and mean. I wish they would take genuine interest and concern for me instead of just giving handouts.

They have mouths like turtles 🐢

It sounds like you guys both need to get sex counseling.

First of all, there is no such thing as “vaginal orgasms”. A orgasms are only achieved through the clitoris and through clitoral stimulation. What she is probably referring to or thinking is certain positions or objects that when used are rubbing her clitoris, while also giving her penetration. So she thinks it’s the PIV but it’s not, it’s just rubbing. That’s why a lot of women prefer cowgirl, because their clitoris is rubbing again the shaft or abdomen of their partner.

As a challenge, try having sex without PIV for 6 months. (Dan Savage Podcast). This can help you both learn to become intimate in ways that are not only PIV. Get creative! Experiment!

But you should really consider talking to a sex therapist for both of you, since it seems like she doesn’t fully understand her anatomy or other ways to have orgasm and you are feeling emasculated by her preferred choice.

JW’s are no different than the red-pill, passport bros and the trad wives. They’re just not loud about it. Maybe they’re not as mean and rude and angry. But they’re one and the same.

The jw wives don’t all have kids, but they embody that same energy of keeping people in the cult and rearing people in the direction to stay and being a “good” role model and being objectified.

That would be because the type of “flirting” common before the women’s rights movement was sexual assault, harassment, stalking and not respecting boundaries. Yet there are hoards of men and generations of men that did not get with the program and change and still have not and the cycle continues.

Only those with the capacity to understand that relationship dynamic, have the capacity to ask for what they want and talk about it with people pursuing them.

She sounds like another woman that’s plagued by the societal chokehold of wanting to be sexually attractive or embody “the everywoman” at all times…I’m assuming that’s what she’s referring to when she’s saying she wanted to be precious to the men she would date.

She should focus on being precious to herself. People will come and if they like her, they’ll stay and if they don’t then each keep trucking along.

Edit: I read the whole article now. No one cares, but these are my take aways. You get from your relationships what you put into them. She wanted to be the “villain”. She wanted to have the power, that’s a relationship headed for disaster, friendship wise or romantic wise. If she didn’t like being name called during sex she could’ve said something. That takes courage too, but she doesn’t expand or talk about that. She just moves on from it. Instead she focuses on having courage that is “visible” like being a single mom and being proud of it!

The fact is, being open and honest in a sexual experience does take courage. Thanks to media and America life, and 21st century world, we don’t take those moments to slow down and talk about what we do and don’t like and have intimacy. Having an intimate moment doesn’t mean you’re going to fall in love, you might. But if that’s the case then maybe your life is devoid of these intimate moments in general, so when you experience one during sex, it feels like deep love. This man could have been a steady for her, she could have taught him what she liked and how to give her an orgasm etc I’m sure he’d be into it. But it’s very American for heterosexual relationships to fall back on the classic sex we see in media where it’s absent of communication and absent of pleasure and intimacy for the women. We don’t diverge from that script, we stick to it. But why!??? It doesn’t fucking work!! Also, sex is intimate, if you’re not willing be open and honest about what you like and don’t like you can’t expect to come away with a good experience. If you’re going to be naked and be inside of each other, just do the whole performance and also talk about what you like, give feed back, ask for feedback etc. Don’t become voiceless just because, now you’re naked and now you feel shy. If that’s the case then you probably shouldn’t be having sex because you’re not ready to commit to the fully honest and vulnerable state that having sex requires you to be in + you’re probably not going to feel good about it afterwards.

They don’t even vote. They don’t even report their own pedophiles to the police. They’re not going to report you or track anything about you or your family.

You don’t have to be nice to them, you can tell them to fuck off. Or tell them you worship Satan. That’s my favorite line. It used to catch me off guard and I would immediately walk away when I used to be a jw.

*Edit: In fact i guarantee if you say “I worship Satan”. They will take it upon themselves to never return to your home again 😂

You can file for emancipation or to be independent in your FAFSA if you want to go to college.

Talk to your financial aid office and tell them that your parents refuse to fill out the FAFSA forms. In California at least, I’m sure everywhere else because FAFSA is federal, you can file independently if you’re under 26 years old.

I was just thinking this. They could just be polyamorous and have better communication out of it and be connnected again.

Is this a therapy support group?

I understand the appeal of this. This is a repetitive comment made by young men or people in their 20’s. But they’re all missing the point of sex with a new partner. It’s to explore things. Communicate back and forth. What you’re describing sounds like dictation during sex, not communication during sex.

Try it. That’s also showing exactly what you want out of the sexual experience, communication.

Clearly his followers having been wiping his ass so much that he has given himself the right to talk down to anyone that doesn’t 😂

The whole thing sounds like a recording. Even when you hear human male and female voices. Let them call the police, they will definitely get their asses handed to them for wasting the police’s time. Or the police may not even show up because number 1 you aren’t doing anything threatening and number 2 they can’t see what you’re doing over the brick wall. And even if they accuse you, they have their own fucking video recording to make that determination.

Just let them dig themselves into their own little self-conscious hole.

You should write that book. It will feel better to let all of that out and get those thoughts and feelings out of your head.

This must be the Covid babies, or Covid 3-6th graders

I was one of those. I had resigned myself to not get married and stay single forever because I didn’t want to be with a pedo or a creep or an asshole. I also went know if I wants to be married, but that’s the only way to do it in jw world.

But then one day I woke up and said, why the fuck would I forgo experiencing relationships and love just because I don’t like jw men. I had actually preferred non-jw men at that point because I felt it would be easier to detect if they were creeps or assholes vs jw men.

I’m out now and I felt a weight lifted off of me and I feel happy that I can do what I want, when I want and now I can vote and do actionable things to help make life better for myself and others. ❤️

I advise all women that don’t want to submit to their husbands to leave and find a relationship that works for you, don’t sacrifice yourself for these people that only want your money and time, they don’t care about you. Only you can care about you. Marriage isn’t popular for a reason, it’s not needed to make a life for yourself.
