While in there was never a moment when I even considered that I might personally die. 1975 was around the corner, everlasting life at Any Moment Now.
After leaving, I was too busy to think about dying.
I think it hit me in the early 2000's, that I would personally die. That's fine with me, I wouldn't want to live forever as "me" anyway!
Paul wake up now!!!! Life is for the Living, ENJOY your life.
The WT was wrong...They taught us a fantasy....Christ died
for you to live more abundently.So LIVE PAUL .Yes I am going to die soon
But thank God I found that my life as a JW ,was a LIE! I was a judgemental
snob.who wanted everyone to go the way the WT told us to go,
Salesmen of garbage
Hi Mouthy, I really want to enjoy life but I just can't! I'm terrified about death constantly. I pray for peace from God but it hasn't come. I want to feel the warmth in my heart that comes from feeling that I have the love of God but I feel a cold empty void instead. The thought of death feels like being sucked into a cold empty hole. I can't explain it.
Some friends said I need to talk to a therapist. But if a person was sitting on death row and was depressed about it would that be abnormal? I feel like I'm on death row with no escape. How can I find peace?
Dear darling Paul/... Please go to a Dr & tell him about your deep depression
You MUST get help....You DO need counsling....It is something so many of us had to do
on leaving the WT......
If any one remembers James ALLdridge.He was an ex JW...allowed himself to get
into trouble when he left the WT...He sat in prison for many years Paul .HE KNEW
he had the death sentence,,,but he used HIS life to do SO much!!!!So sitting waiting to
die is foolish....James made wonderful cards, birthday, Christmas,Blank,sold them to the world.
made many many friends
I was one!!!!! Wrote wonderful poems etc.....Many of us remember him with great love.
He was so uplifting to speak with ......So get counselling PLEASE!!!! waiting to die.
Is a waste of time. GOOD TIME!!!!! so get on it right away PLEASE!!!!Life is worth living
especially at YOUR age.!!!!!!!!PAUL
How can I find peace?
Paul, what you focus on expands -- gets bigger. When your mind makes a negative connection, it takes at least 12 positive connections to nullify the damaging effects of the negative one. You need to start consciously making positive connections with your brain. Maybe you can do this with pictures or mental images or items you own that give you a lift, that make you smile.
Can you list 12 things that make you smile or give your heart joy?
