Shantell PowellIn 1982, when I was in grade six, my parents were (and still are) Jehovah's Witnesses (JWs). I was not allowed to celebrate holidays. If I was caught doing so, I'd get a beating. At that time, we were friends with a huge family of JWs. While the grownups were downstairs talking on NYE, all us kids desperately wanted to celebrate new years. We needed to figure out an innocuous way of doing so such that if we were caught, it wouldn't look remiss. We finally decided that at the stroke of midnight, we would all flush the toilets. Flush away the old year and all. We didn't get caught. We didn't get a beating. I wonder if any of those other kids continued the tradition?I haven't missed a year since. Want to join me in flushing away the old year?<a href="https://c.im/tags/toilet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#toilet</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ExJW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ExJW</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/NewYear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewYear</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/tradition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tradition</a>

smittenI saw my family recently and I was reminded again about how the friends they make through the church aren't great. They are taught that people in the cult are 'good association'. They call other members 'the friends'. Even though they have so many examples of those people letting them down, being manipulative, or just being kind of unstable and unpredictable. It was something I tried to explain to them fifteen years ago - that by surrounding themselves with people from church they were missing out on making higher quality friendships with people they actually liked, people they enjoyed spending time with. It never sinks in, they just won't see it. You don't get to go back in time and develop other friendships, those decades of false closeness inside the church already did their damage. <a href="https://key.portend.place/tags/exCult" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exCult</a> <a href="https://key.portend.place/tags/exJW" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exJW</a> <a href="https://key.portend.place/tags/socialIsolation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#socialIsolation</a> <a href="https://key.portend.place/tags/milieuControl" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#milieuControl</a>

Shantell PowellThe first time I ever got to go trick or treating was when I was 21 years old. My roommate Viki went as a vampire and I went as her victim in a long white nightgown and a bloody neck. The only place we went to, the woman said, "Aren't you too old for this?" It crushed all my joy. I didn't get to go as a kid because I grew up in a Jehovah's Witness family. In downtown Fredericton there's an old cemetery that everyone uses as a shortcut. That Halloween night, the gates were open, so Viki and I walked in. We passed a watchman who said hi. But when we got to the other side, the gate was locked. We turned around to exit the way we came in, only to find that gate was locked, too. The watchman had shut us in!We wandered around looking for a way out, and then city workers saw us and started yelling at us for breaking into the cemetery. We explained what had happened and asked for them to let us out. They didn't have keys. So they pulled their truck up to the cast iron fence and helped pull us over the fence. Who else gets locked into an old cemetery on their first Hallowe'en? My nightgown got ripped, but it was totally worth it. It brought back all the joy that had been sucked away by the mean woman telling me I was too old for trick or treating. FWIW, the last time I went trick or treating was when I was in my forties. If mummering were a thing here, I'd do that, too. <a href="https://c.im/tags/halloween" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#halloween</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/TrickorTreat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TrickorTreat</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ageism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ageism</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/mummers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mummers</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/cemetery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cemetery</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ExJW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ExJW</a>

Shantell PowellMy little sister was born in 1975 when I was three years old. When Mom was pregnant with my sister, all sorts of Jehovah's Witnesses kept asking me if I was excited she would be born in paradise. After all, we were all told Armageddon would happen in 1975. I don't remember ever wanting to have kids. I've been childfree by choice all my life. I can't help but wonder if it's because I always knew my kids would never be born into paradise. <a href="https://c.im/tags/ExJW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ExJW</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ChildFree" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChildFree</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Armageddon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Armageddon</a>

Jocelynephiliac :reclaimer:Growing up as a Jehovah’s Witness fucks you up, okay? You’re raised in an environment where gift giving is just not a thing that happens as a way of showing love, so you become conditioned to never ever ever think about giving or expecting gifts. It’s just not on the love language table any more.It’s this highly specific trauma that claims an entire social behavior, in a way that can never heal.And for people who it IS a love language, its like you’re a horrible person.<a href="https://twipped.social/tags/exvangeical" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exvangeical</a> <a href="https://twipped.social/tags/exjw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exjw</a>

Shantell PowellI was three years old when I learned the end of the world was happening soon. In late 1974, Mom was pregnant with my sister, and other Jehovah’s Witnesses kept asking me if I was excited that my little brother/sister would be born in Paradise. You see, Armageddon was supposed to happen in 1975. My parents are in their 70s now and still believe Paradise is gonna happen any time now. <a href="https://c.im/tags/exJW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exJW</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/armageddon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#armageddon</a>

Shantell PowellThroughout grade school I was sent out of the classroom every morning to hang out by myself in the bathroom while everyone else recited/sang along with the national anthem, the Our Father, and, depending on the school, the pledge of allegiance and/or God Save the Queen. And when there were holiday or birthday parties, I was sent out, as well. The same thing happened in music class if they were singing Christmas carols. I preferred hanging out in the library to the bathroom, but that wasn’t usually an option. I was viewed with great distrust by the other kids. I remember one time a kid handed me a great big Valentine card, but as I reached for it, they yanked it from my hand and told me I couldn’t have it because I never gave valentines to anyone else. I didn’t mind missing the nationalistic stuff, but it sucked not to be allowed to have cake or valentines. <a href="https://c.im/tags/exJW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exJW</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/indoctrination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#indoctrination</a>

smittenthe "don't criticize unless you have a better suggestion" argument is very tough for me to swallow, and I admit this may just be because of my trauma history. for many years I had trouble pointing out abusive issues with the JWs because they constantly say 'well it might have problems, but it's still the closest religion to the truth' or 'where else will you go' or 'any church in Christendom is worse'. First of all, these things weren't true. But this mindset can be really freezing to critical thought. Sometimes it's hard to imagine an improvement. Sometimes you need to wrestle with critique for a while until an alternative comes to mind. Critique is a useful activity in its own right, and sometimes the 'better alternative' is in an entirely different category than the thing you are walking away from, so it's not obvious at first. <a class="hashtag" href="https://portend.place/tag/excult" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exCult</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://portend.place/tag/exjw" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exJW</a>

Mx. Luna CorbdenBoth unquestioning faith and doubt have two things in common: They are intellectual dead ends. They stifle. That is why high-demand religions and cults of personality need to pit these two concepts against one another. A person's only choice is between two stifling positions. Doubt offers no more freedom than faith does, and at least faith gives you answers.But curiosity does offer freedom. And that is something they want their members to never even taste. Because once you taste it, you want more.🧵<a href="https://defcon.social/tags/ReligiousTrauma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ReligiousTrauma</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/exmo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exmo</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/exmormon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exmormon</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/exJW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exJW</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/exvangelical" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exvangelical</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/cult" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cult</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/LDS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LDS</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/mormonism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mormonism</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/AbuseCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AbuseCulture</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/antifa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#antifa</a>

Mx. Luna CorbdenCuriosity towards people leads to empathy. It breaks down dehumanizing walls. You can't be fascist towards queer people or immigrants if you're *curious* about them. No, people are fascists because they have all the answers already.

Mx. Luna CorbdenI didn't leave Mormonism because I doubted. I left because I got curious, and the thing I got curious about led me to answers that contradicted the Church's story about God.They've built all kinds of walls against doubt. "Doubt your doubts" is their current thought terminating cliché on the matter.They've even built walls against being curious about very specific things.But they haven't built any walls against curiosity in general, as a concept. If you can make a coercion victim be *curious*, you might get them to thinking. More importantly, if YOU can stay curious about them, you'll approach them with love.🧵<a href="https://defcon.social/tags/ReligiousTrauma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ReligiousTrauma</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/exmo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exmo</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/exmormon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exmormon</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/exJW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exJW</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/exvangelical" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exvangelical</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/cult" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cult</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/LDS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LDS</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/mormonism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mormonism</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/AbuseCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AbuseCulture</a>

Mx. Luna CorbdenI wish I’d had this insight to give as advice to all the many people over the years who have asked me how to help family members who are in a cult or high-demand religion.THEY made doubt the opposite of unquestioning faith. But doubt isn’t a value. It’s a result of values. Nobody wants to identify as a doubter. Even skeptics aren’t operating out of doubt. Doubt isn’t an end point. It isn’t a goal. It’s a means to an end.Curiosity tho? That flows. It moves. It’s dynamic. It has a resolution, and in cases where it doesn’t, it’s satisfying on its own.Curiosity inspires critical thinking.<a href="https://defcon.social/tags/ReligiousTrauma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ReligiousTrauma</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/exmo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exmo</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/exmormon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exmormon</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/exJW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exJW</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/exvangelical" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exvangelical</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/cult" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cult</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/LDS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LDS</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/mormonism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mormonism</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/AbuseCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AbuseCulture</a>
