When you’re a JW this world really doesn’t have much to offer, well compared to the visions you have of paradise. Just imagine, getting up and your only worry is which of the many foods you’ll feast on and who of the many people to meet you’ll meet. Your only pain will be your cheeks from the soreness of laughing.
So from birth we’re taught to see this word negatively, even the good things we are told to see negatively. Like they’ll tell you an apple will taste so much crisper and juicy, grown from a perfect tree, eaten with your perfect taste buds.
This also means you don’t seek out pleasure because the world has nothing to offer and hey, why bother when you’ll have eternity to do anything and everything you want. You’re wasting your time practicing piano; it will be so much easier when you’re perfect.
Actually, there is one reason to stay positive, because staying positive will help you accomplish more in your ministry work and make worldly people think JW is an attractive religion.
Hate the world and the things in the world. What kind of sick fuck would say that? So basically, you hate your life and the things in your life.
So when you leave the JW’s you realize (hopefully) that there probably isn’t going to be another life after this one. To the best of scientific knowledge this life is all there is. Do you want to gamble on that by wasting this life in hope for a second? Once you realize that you realize time is the most important thing in the universe. And we often sell if for $10 to $30 per hour. We often wish it would go faster. We spend most of our time doing things we’d rather not do. When we sit passively and watch TV do you notice that the people on the screens are doing something that we’re not? They’re living their lives. They’re actually conversing with people and doing stuff.
But how to escape the negativity and pessimist view that was engrained into by the JW’s? It’s the voice that tells you not to make an effort, just stay home, you cant find happiness in this wicked system. But you CAN find satisfaction, and even happiness. You just have to search and keep searching until you find a passion. Something that was murdered out of you by JW’s. And you’ll know what it is when you find it because you wont have a choice but to do it. It will consume your mind. It will wake you up at night. And even if you spend ages looking for something you never seem to find, the process of looking will be well worth it, it’s not something that you’ll look back on and say, gee I wish I didn’t try.
You spent a long fucking time not existing, and trust me, eventually you’ll spend just as long not existing. But for the time being you are a tiny spark of life in an infinite universe. Just a flick of light and you’ll go off just as quickly as you went on. Your time belongs to you. The jehovahs witnesses tried to take that but you WON. Now make it so that on your death bed you wont even remember being a JW
