I look back and think of how mindless, boring and dumb it all was.
I think of having to sit at mind numbing meetings, bored to tears, making believe I was enjoying the fine spiritual banquet.
I think of how we used to drive around in "service" looking for nothing to do----just so that we could put our time in---hoping that no one was home.
Everyone had to conform to direction and whims of elders or the Society.
I AM SOOOOOOOOOO GLAD I'M OUT!
The only thing more monotonous is watching paint dry. And even there I'm leaning towards the JW life as the more monotonous of the two.
Death?
Watching water boil... when you've forgotten to light the flame.
My comment is that my life is so much fun now and I feel that I have so much free time... my whole life I have spent at least 35,000 hours dedicated to the borg's interests.... so now I can concentrate on enjoying my life here and now!
God topic, min... (finally)
yes, there was certainly a routine about it.
but, each meeting had its own interesting things about it, and experiences in service nearly always varied - and the things we did around the meetings, life was very full, and still maintained a sufficient supply of spontaneity about it. You get what you put into it.
I wouldn't like to live in a monastery either.
Solace, you MUST be joking, right?
Min,
Solace always confuses me too... is he an apologist? or just nuts? I haven't figured it out yet... he is DFd though...
I'm thinking he is at the crossroads. You know, where you are no longer associated, but a certain part of you still thinks it is "the truth."
However, if he would kindly quit the condescending bullshit towards people, that would be great.
Is there anything more monotonous than living AS a jw? Yes, living with one.
