Free from cult life
Finally living my best life!
Trauma recovery is so important, therapy and deconstructing your beliefs is a must when you break free from a cult.
Scared of failure sums up my trauma pretty good. Living in a constant state of fight or flight causes so much damage.

When you realize that healing is not linear and you can't just check feelings off. Sometimes those old feelings come in hard today I burned some books and did tarot cards at the beach
The fire was hungry
It ate 2 bibles, a 30 year old my book of Bible stories, a 1970's pink book about Jesus

When they hold you hostage with fear. When they use your faith as a weapon to control you that isn't love that's abuse.
When they tell your friends and family that they will be shunned too if they continue to have a relationship with you. That isn't love that coercion.

When you start to heal in therapy you start to see how much JW stole from you
When you start to trust in yourself and make your own decisions you start to find yourself
I am not hiding who I am anymore. I am not staying quiet
I am a proud apostate not by choice but to protect myself and others

I left a cult it was the hardest thing I have ever done. I started to live as a free American with the ability to voice my opinion and use my vote to have my voice heard. Then came along a cult that is trying to silence my voice again.
I have no choice but, to stand up again.

It's probably not just me as a JW I hated the phase the victims and families are in our thoughts and prayers.
Now I left a cult I hate this even more. You are the leaders of the country do something. Your thoughts and prayers aren't helping anyone.

Everyday I feel our freedom slipping away heres what cult life was like for me you make your own conclusions
You had to publicly agree with every policy. Or you were labeled as bad or evil.
They believed in freedom of religion but, if you disagreed with their values its wrong

Finding real friends in the world isn't as easy as having fake friends in JW life. But, they are real friends. Real friends don't use love as a weapon to control you.

Well today is the 1st day of fall and I spent the evening celebrating the end of summer and the beginning of fall.
We burned sage, and we talked about what we were leaving behind and what we wanted moving forward.
Finding a spiritual connection after leaving a cult is difficult.

I have left and thought faded was enough.
But, when I saw the new Shepard the flock book and what it has to say about a certain federal crime doesn't need to necessarily have a judicial committee. This tells me who they really care about!
Jws are a hate cult and hurt children.

When you're on vacation and it's not for a convention or a quick build or something else that is just you working for free.
You know your free and enjoying the really life!

Honestly I finally feel like am in a healthy place.
I am not even mad anymore I don't have time or energy for that. I feel bad for the everyday people trapped in this cult. I will continue to be on exjw subreddit offering support and advice to people trying to leave.

Did you know sin doesn't exist?
Once you realize you're in a cult and the word sin is used to control you and tell you what's right and wrong. See if the Bible was real I honestly think Satan is right and God (JW version specifically in my experience) is a horrible example of a loving father.

You know having 100 friends who only love you when you checked all the boxes of good JW.
This was the loneliest place.
Having 3 friends who will always have my back and love me at my lowest and tell me I doing my best even when I disappoint them.
Love without conditions

You know your mind is free when you only hate the leadership and feel sorry for the people trapped in this cult.
If you are a true believer ask yourself why.
They use
Fear and rewards to keep you trapped.
Think for a minute what do you do that's actually worship?

My UnCULTured life:
I can walk into a church and sit down and not feel like throwing up.
I haven't decided what I believe yet but, every once in awhile I go into an open church during the day and sit In the back just to remind myself I am free to make my own choices.

This is a cult and men have officially been declaring themselves the leaders!
The GB has decided is their new favorite phrase!
If you had any doubts this is a cult look at all the little freedoms the GB has given its Kool aid drinking members.

I keep thinking I don't want to know about anything JW related but, come on! What is this new light!
If anyone is still actually PIMI in This cult I hope they wake up. The almighty GB has declared you can decide for yourself if you want to do a toast or clink glasses!

I am proud to say I am an ex jw.
I thought I had to dissociate to be whole, I felt I wasn't strong enough to leave.
But, turns out that if you stop believing then you are no longer a JW you are free.
When kids stop believing in Santa they don't have to write him a letter and tell him.

Recovering from trauma
What makes me want to vomit?
These things still make me feel physically sick even after all these years:
*Hearing his name
*The thought of entering a kingdom hall
*Seeing cult members in public
*Seeing a watchtower in a public place

Things you have to learn when you leave:
*To love yourself
*Be kind to yourself
*Trust yourself
*Stand up for what you actually believe
*Find yourself
The biggest thing is you have to figure out who you are and what you believe.
