Another thing that gets me is how they use the growing visibility and acceptance of queer people as the most obvious sign of the world's depravity. Even though, they have no reason to get so upset besides "the bible says it's bad in our outdated translations". Other things like sleeping together outside of marriage should be a similar sin within their rules, but it doesn't hold the same disgust to them. Regardless of what they say, they're obvious bigots.
So when they tried to fearmonger by saying that "they let middle schoolers twist morality with GSA" it wasn't surprising, but I wanted to fucking scream.
Meetings really only exist to encourage my deconversion at this point. I don't know how saying that "feminism making women think they should be fully equal in the marriage is damaging" will make me, an afab person, agree that God knows best lol.
Like no. I don't know about you but I don't want to be in a position where my partner can abuse me without consequence.
Enemies to lovers but it's two people who go from being mormon and jw to exmormon and exjw

Im happy this was my biggest post this year!
I want PIMOs here to know that there are "worldly people" kinder than you can imagine. Friends you'll gain that aren't conditional in their support. New experiences you never even considered, but that bring you immense joy. Parts of yourself that you'll find and can now let free.
Your life isn't over for waking up, it's about to begin.

This is so good! I love the quirk's connections to his appearance and nickname.
Thought id share one of my other bnha au’s, my Deku themed qurik au.
THE WOODEN DOLL HERO: DEKU!
The idea was inspired but mr conpress’ and the meatball kids quirk as well as Legend of zeldas majora’s mask!
Very heartwarming moment really reflecting on Wally’s character.
i would make an excellent goon. i’d be like ”on it boss” and then i’d fuck it up instantly.
You ever buy a build a bear for comfort and then assign them a queer identity to quietly rebel against your homophobic parents?
On an entirely unrelated note here is my new friend Noel. He is a lesbian and uses he/him pronouns.
For the apostate ask game:
3. Have you gotten emotional support from friends in deconverting/deconstructing? Would you like more support? Have you found any online?
7. Do you like angels or demons?
3. Yes, I have! As I realized I no longer believed I tried to reach out to people outside of my cult to reconnect. I was very surprised about how many people were happy to hang out again, and when I told them my situation were super supportive and understanding! It was so affirming when one of them told me how brave and proud of me they were for leaving. I also found out my closest friend in the cult was also questioning shortly before I formally left. Being able to maintain our friendship and be honest about our experiences has been so nice.
While I was still with my family and PIMO I really appreciated this blog as a way to vent and see others with similar experiences. Now that I'm out of immediate danger, I'm doing a lot of trauma work in therapy. I've got a lot to work on but I think I have sufficient support for now.
7. Oh 100%. Unfortunately Jehovah's Witnesses don't have as much artistic flair with their worship, but other's religious imagery was always seen as taboo. This makes it fun now lol. I'm also very into religious studies. I think the psychology and cultural parts of religion are fascinating now that I've spent so much time dissecting my old faith.
I'm a queer nerd with religous trauma, let's be friends! Icon by @haxxydraws
