Im trying to get into hermetics bc i believe it's my destiny to do so but some of the concepts are triggering to me like the idea of permanent death if you don't reunite with God after you finish reincarnation and ego dissolution. Apparently some exjws transition to hermetics out of liberation so im hoping some of yall can help me get over my shit so I can study in piece. I hope this all makes sense.
Im thinking about doing monthly art offerings as a vow of service for my priesthood practice, what do yall think?
Im a rather masculine/androgynous woman personally who's always struggled with being more feminine like being nurturing, empathy and feeling my emotions and being sensitive to said emotions. I don't know a lot about being feminine and don't remember the details of being a jw other than how emotions outside of joy and calmness weren't really accepted but having and feeling emotions are more so human traits rather than solely feminine traits. I came here to ask bc it seems like my main issues (emotional issues especially) are because of the cult and I was wondering if this is another issue caused by the cult or if this is mainly a me issue.
It's exactly what the title says. I wanna know if there's any success stories for those of us who have dated while having pocd. Im honestly terrified of dating bc I don't want people to get the wrong idea and think im a pedophile when I explain my condition (especially the false attraction part, I honestly wonder if i should ever mention that to a partner) and possibly try to hurt me for it. But I do what to have a partner and start dating so I can start a family one day. So to give myself some hope that not everyone will reject me, I wanna see if anyone with my condition has been successful in dating.
