HOLY BIBLE, BATMAN!!!

Hello, I grew up as a Jehovah's Witness, and left about 7 years ago. Since I left, as most people that grew up and left the religion, it's left some lingering side-effects. So I made this blog to be kind of a venting board. If any other ex-witnesses want to join in feel free, my ask and submit are always open. Whether to just rant about something, or to talk privately.

Here's a reminder to remember how far you've come ✨️

✨️ Being mentally out is a huge fucking accomplishment, you had a fight with your own brain and won! Look at you!

✨️ Doing mundane shit you enjoy that's "against the rules" incredible 👏 you're enjoying your life!!!

✨️ Being physically out?!?! You're a rock star, that's a fucking leap and you did it!

✨️ Working towards your aspirations that you never thought you'd be able to due to pressure not to go to school, or be a part of this or that, holy shit that's amazing!!!

Be honest, how many Multi-level marketing schemes were you involved with before you left? (And I'm counting going to the "parties" where they try to sell you stuff as being involved)

Here's a reminder to remember how far you've come ✨️ and that some things that may have seemed impossible are old news now, and you can do that with the next impossible task to!

Okay but I've been listening to the song Kult by Steve Aoki and Grandson, and these lyrics "Maybe I should join a kult, at least they'll tell me it's not my fault that the world's a fucking circus, that my life feels fucking worthless" and I don't have to tell you guys but I think they've got some unrealistic expectations

so a couple days ago i did the Big Bad of my household (even tho i’ve been pimo for a WHILE now lmao) and looked at apostate stuff. not only is it nice to know that i’m not just being a dramatic asshole and that my feelings are valid, y’all are also some of the funniest motherfuckers i’ve seen lmao. honestly i’m surprised i didn’t explore this side of tumblr sooner

😁 very glad we could entertain!

The first time I ever looked at apostate material I was fully in, and unfortunately the people that made it were purposefully doing things for shock value 🙄 which scared me and I didn't look at it again for years. Then I ended up on the exjw subreddit, which was a much better experience.

Anyway if you ever need a place to vent, I'm around, I don't log on everyday but I always come back eventually 😊

I think everybody needs to know that somewhere in my childhood something got lost in translation and I believed demons looked like this:

Kids who were called "one of the most deep spiritual thinkers I've seen" by their pastors are all apostates now

OK OK OK. DO U REMEMBER THE NOAH PAPER DRAMA THING. IT SWITCHED BETWEEN PAPERY ANIMATIONS AND LIVE ACTION? THE WOMEN THAT THE NEPHILEM ANGELS FELL IN LOVE WITH AND WENT TO EARTH FOR? THEY MADE ME QUEER AS SHIT. Also the angels literally sacrificing eternal life to go fall in love is so fucking poetic and beautiful to me but also. How do people not even get it. Even if u were a devout witness, shouldn’t the ANGELS LEAVING GOD to experience human things and FALLING IN LOVE and LIFE and SO MANY OTHER THINGS THAT HUMANS GET tell you something??? if the angels themselves want to leave heaven?? If u need clarification on the women I can send a screenshot lmao

I DO REMEMBER, actually I remember the paper part I dont remember it switching to live action, so maybe I was watching a different thing, but I'm doubting it, I got really stressed about like the super harsh stuff god did so I would rewatch that and the video about the hole in the ground that swallowed up everybody, I actually watched that one so many times it exploded in the VCR. But I don't think I remember the women so a screenshot would be great if you still have it (I'm also not sure how old this message is 😬)

Most importantly thought that's a really good point, I dont think I ever even thought about that, but like yeah, they didn't even want to be there, heaven must suck.

As a kid I couldn’t commit to brushing my teeth every night before bed… so how did those mfs expect me to get baptized and commit my whole life to serving jehovah at that same time 🤨
