Well my anger towards the JW's has almost subsided, in fact I can now pass the local kingdom hall and barely even give it a glance. I think it reached a peak about 2-3 years ago. If the JW subject comes up, I still will tell them what I think, but as for my activism, it has almost ended.

OOmpa...I can't believe yor wife doesn't give you enough sex. I thought they were taught to be in submission to their mates and give them sex whenever they wanted it?

At least that's what my JW hubby used to tell me all the time...

Snoozy...

loosie

Snoozy's right Oompa. remind your wife of the scripture about rendering you your DUE!

That's a good thing to hear, JG.

I don't have a lot of anger over the org. Only once in a while. I just don't have the energy to waste crying over spilt milk. Why let past hurts do damage today and in the future? The pain needs to be relegated to the past. I recogize it's easier for some than others. I lost a lot to the org. but I don't think much about it. I try to focus on now and tomorrow.

Thats a very good point oompa, no one should be overcome with anger over a long period of time regarding

their own personal experience with the JWS it demeans the potential quality of life to be had .

Its a big wonderful world out there with so much to take in and enjoy.

In a matter a fact if you display anger and hostility around JWS, that is seen as proof of what Satan has done to you since you've left the flock

and have joined a worldly lifestyle, an instigator of what they have been told is the truth.

Frustrating as it may be, the cool and calm approach is the best way to deal with JWS, particularly with close relatives that you associate with.

Showing your intelligence and contentment actually frustrates them to no end........wisdom is on your side not them

Yeah Oompa!

I have enjoyed your humor on here! I wish you and your wife the best and things will get better if you focus your attention on something else!

There are some good points with the JW: you have good friends and it sounds like you have a good relationship with your wife and son! People on here would like that kind of life!

So I guess it is okay to say that Jehovah is in the New Testament and move on to somethings YOU do have control over some topics! It is a mental thing and it is not your fault but letting it go! I dont think any of us can! Sorry I am just being honest! How can we let it go?

What I mean is that the WTBTS strange teachings has ripped a hole in my spiritual well being, so How can anyone let that go! It is the core foundation of my enter life with God! or is that Jehovah?

I went through hell just to get reinstated, that took over 10 years, just to find out that I did not know what they taught! It's like the scales had fallen off my eyes! and when that happened there was no going back to something that is not there! How? I thank one friend out there that did a lot of reseach with me to answer some of my questions! she found out how little she really knew and her her eyes were opened but I saw another shattered person sit next to me.

I am very much frustrated with other churches and what they teach, now where do I go to gather myself together with like minded people? In spiritual limbo like many exjws! Yes, you gotta let it go but with what you know I think that is a fantasy! I am sure your marriage and life has changed.

My life and how I viewed them as the only truth is gone! You can try to let it go! I did but it only gave me more heart ache! You can not let your memory files go! they are there for life.

Just being honest

We only have to pretend to let it go in the presence of the enemy.

Let go of the anger huh?
Besides one of the seven stages of dealing with Grief being anger.
Oompa, Oompa, my dear bro, after I went back and looked over more of your past posts, you of all people should know better than to expect everyone just to let it go.
It's not that easy. Different people are on different legs of their respective journeys out of the Org. Some need the experiences of others regarding their initial shock at learning all wasn't as they had hoped or thought or was persuaded to believe.
Others need to hear about the denial. Where we kinda know that somethings wrong or amiss but we refuse to believe its the Org or what we were taught. So we figure it must be with us that the fault lies within.
But ultimately when some get past these two phases they get to that anger stage.
And oh how it can so hurt some individuals when everything they had ever hoped in or believed in as far as their faith and trust in man comes crumbling down around them.(I say it this way because I still have faith and trust in God but never again in what a man that is as imperfect as me tells me is God's will or words)

Some people may get over the anger in a relatively short duration of time whereas others that may have had more time involved or more friends and family may take a bit more to get over the loss.

I feel that in each phase there are going to be ones who will benefit greatly from the things said by many on here. Even regarding anger it lets others know that they are not alone in feeling that way.

But having said the foregoing I will have to state that getting over the anger is paramount to recovery and the rest of the healing process.
And judging by this threads title you seem to be headed in that direction.
So congrats on that Oompa.

And here's to wishing and hoping you and your wife well on your future life together. If you and wife ever get over to this side of the state look me up sometime. My wife and I could join you for dinner and/or drinks somewhere. Since we are not DF/DA just simply inactive your wife might not object. And I can be on my best behavior and not even discuss anything regarding the Org or anything that may make your wife uptight.
Just consider it a open invitation if you ever get this way sometime.
