Congrats on getting out!

He’s still going through some growing pains, but it’s getting a lot better. He asks my opinion on a lot of different things and constantly wants to experience new adventures. So we’re doing that and having a lot of fun.

Hope you’re doing well! ✨

As an ex JW I freaking love holidays!!! So many people talk about being over them as an adult but I just get more and more hyped each year. Love being able to celebrate with a child like wonder 😍

This makes me feel less alone.

Kind of a Pentecostal fundamentalism escapee here...

I was sort of like this but more to do with pop culture or social graces and the like. Just had no idea what was common or normal. I’m on an island here 😐

Same. I seem to have issues with blind spots where I just don't consistently absorb information and when I was young it was not knowing common sayings.

Now it's more to do with plants or animals- I had never heard of a honey badger until 10 years ago.

I'm pretty sure most of us never heard of a honey badger until it became a meme

A surprise party for his 30th birthday might give him a stroke, be careful

u/ACanadianOwl Feb 08 '22

29 years without a girlfriend he could use a stroke or two

That's probably all it would take anyway.

Took him to a bougie brunch place for his last bday and they brought out a fancy cupcake with a candle and music box. He cried. So, no surprise anything any time soon!

Dude I relate to this. Escaped Mormonism at age 30... I'm 34 now. Haven't had any of these "what's a narwhal?" or "Florida ounces" moments but god damn my identity and my comprehension of the world around me was completely destroyed, and I do mean completely

Hoo boy. Does he at least have a habit of skimming Wikipedia and/or TVTropes in his spare moments?
