Were you 100% in? (page 2)

life is to short

110% I believed it all and gave it my all. I wish I could get the lost years now.

I don't think so. I mean, I have the type of personality that likes structure and is good at following rules, so I'm sure it looked like I was 100% all in and that I felt that I was. I remember that there were a few things that didn't make sense to me, but I simply stopped thinking and feeling and became a robot.

I didn't want to get baptized and only did it because I felt pressured. Come to think of it, I only was a JW because of pressure from family and "friends".

100% until July 12, 2005. Very quickly dropped to about 50% that day, and 0% by March 2006, (read CoC by then). Sure I had doubts before that, (everyone does), but they had no meaningful effect. The cognitive dissonance was too strong.

I think I was close to 100% for a significant part of my life. But even then the whole idea of the religion was embarrassing.

Unfortunately for me, yes, I was in 100%.

I questioned it once when I was 18.

When I went to a woman's shelter for protection from my ex who had been an Elder for 40 years, the kind ladies there asked me if I had ever done any volunteer work, or any community work.

-----> I am thinking... Let's see LoisLane has been a publisher since she was 7, baptized as an ordained minister (sorry I have to laugh here) lol at the age of 13. All the work I had volunteered to

do for free for WT because I thought I was doing good, helping my neighbors to gain... Everlasting life on a paradise earth!!!???

-----> Volunteer work? Community service?

I answered the only way I could with dignity and no hesitation, I said, no.

What's this???? Some of you are not now still 100%. You should march right back to your COBE and hand in your resignation. This aint no Disco, It aint no Country Club, either. This is L.A.
