Would You Go Back? (page 2)

Absolutely not. It's painful enough knowing I wasted a decade of my life serving those bozo's, so there is nothing that could make me subject myself to that torture again.

I went back after being DF for nine years.

I gave it another chance.

I won't do that again.

When I was younger I went back twice. Now there is no way in Hades. (Yeah I meant that) I try to even wrap my mind around where my families brains are and well it is hard to wrap your mind around nothing. They are zombies. Or leading a double life for who knows what. Any which way I look at it, I cannot even think about it. Makes me ill.

Their sins cannot be absolved by switching around meetings. If I were to ever go back, they'd have to publicly change their stance on child abuse, rescind the blood policy, encourage higher education, stop pushing pointless door-to-door "ministry," drop 1914, 1919, 1925, etc., quit trying to interpret prophecy with numerology, drop their eschatological beliefs, allow women to serve in the congregations, change completely their elder/minesterial servant/pioneer heirarchy, and a lot of other things. THEN, in a million years, I might consider it.

I've been hearing the same rumors. Meetings are changing. Things are relaxing. Attitudes are different(yeah right). Rumors that they have to change things because of declining attendance. And that they're losing many young ones. I don't like to say "never" about anything. BUT......I will not go back to something that made me feel like I could never do enough or be good enough. I will NOT live with a cloud of doom over my head. I will NOT go back to having nightmares about the "END"!!!!!!!! And I don't see those basic things ever changing with them.
