but you’re not a witness. unless they were incredibly open with you about what happened between them and their congregation’s elders in their private meetings, you know exactly what makes the whole org look fine.

LOL. I still can’t fuck with jws when they come to my door but I love chatting it up with the Mormons. mostly bc they are usually young and cute and I lost my copy of the book of Mormon

I saw that toooo *clutches chest*

you’re right, technically, but there is a lot of shame heaped upon people who realize that they need help outside the organization, be it medical in a physical way or in a psychological way.

his face tho

yes. they say Armageddon is just around the corner (have given specific years for it but there’s always a reason they’re wrong) and tell kids not to make friends with anyone in school (they call them “worldly people”) unless the jw kid can convert them, bc if not the “worldly kid” is just going to corrupt the jw kid…

yeah. fuck that nonsense. I always had night terrors and the revelation book didn’t help, lol. and when my mom low-key snuck me into college the elders found out and told me I can’t serve Satan and Jehovah. I felt so guilty I stopped going. (to college, not to the kingdom Hall, unfortunately)

I feel you. I’m 29 and only in the past couple of years I’ve started to believe that maybe I can plan for the future because the mighty Jehovah isn’t going to destroy everything at the Armageddon that should’ve happened years ago, lol.

his religion of choice is terrifying and traumatic. and I say that as someone who spent the first 20 years of my life in it.

ex jw fist bump, born and raised :)

When I was little, after I saw my first owl tootsie pop commercial, I was upset because I thought the owl was going to really find out how many licks it took.

Giggling my ass off, thank you

Igloo ended her rant with the tweet, "& who is this "Q Tip" guy anyway cuz he's blowin my shit UP #trollol"

I believe it's real. That means they have to pay you for all submitted material. (I may have a flawed perception of how these things work.)

Sooo... Are you going to respond? I mean I know you got shit to do or whatever but you would be so, so good at this. XD

Uh huh. Hiding behind your headline character limit to justify your hegemonic, xenophobic American exceptionalism, are you?

"Um excuse me but there is a grammatical error in your headline. It should read "Stay Awake." Like...really?
