being raised in a cult and still stuck in it is like *wonders if i can ever integrate into society or will always subconsciously consider everyone else “worldly people”* *hides rated r movies from my parents like i’m 13* *forced to sit through hours long lectures about how i’m a sinner for being gay* *hides the fact that i have money from parents bc they’re scared i’m leaving* *thinking abt how my parents told me i’d have to watch them get shot in armageddon at age 9* *bracing myself for when my parents inevitably disown me*

I find it increasingly difficult to put effort into convincing people I'm still a believer.
It used to be a normal and subconscious process for me. You just say what you know you're supposed to and that's the way you will always be. It was casual survival. Now, I'm outgrowing this persona. I feel more and more like an individual who can actively have their own thoughts without guilt, and then having to turn around and restrict that hurts. I spend so much of my time having to listen to their drivel and act like I agree, despite the now obvious logical fallacies and bigotry.
I don't know how much longer I can even let the mask i show my family "be molded by Jehovah".

hi everyone, i really do hate to do this but i am stuck in a toxic situation. i am getting sterilized on March 11th and my parents are not happy about it. they have been gaslighting and guilt tripping me to cancel my appointment which i will not. i have been in this situation for a while now. long story short, my parents are Jehovah’s Witnesses and i no longer can take the manipulation anymore. i am looking to find another place to live as i know it will be better for my mental health. i am always on the verge of being homeless because they always threaten to kick me out if i do not follow their “rules.” now that covid hit, they have taken this as an opportunity to not see anyone that i care about too. the situation has gotten so bad that even my younger brother has developed a nervous tick because being around them gives him a panic attack.
i am asking for any financial or housing help. my partner and i are trying our best to find a place to live so in about a year my brother has a place to live and i no longer have to be afraid of being homeless nor hide how i am. however because of covid, it’s made things much harder in finding a place to live.
if you can donate any money i’ll link my cash app and paypal here:

if you can’t donate i plead you reblog this so someone can. any help is appreciated at this time ! i am hopeful to get both my brother and i out of this toxic situation unscathed and alive.
it's always so fascinating and heartbreaking when a character in a story is simultaneously idolized and abused. a chosen prophet destined for martyrdom. a child prodigy forced to grow up too fast. a powerful warrior raised as nothing but a weapon. there's just something so uniquely messed up about singing someone's praises whilst destroying them.
The internet has ruined me. Everytime I see "yt" I read it as 'white'. I could be looking at anything and I'm like "What did white people do this time!?" assuming it's about racism even if there is a YouTube link right there. Why do people write it like that anyway??
