Despite centuries of analysis from religion and philosophy,
life largely remains a mystery. However, one truth stands out
in my experience:
Your life's conditions and collective experience are mostly the
product of your internal beliefs. As you think, so you are.
This is what is so disturbing about the 'truth'. It drills fear,
guilt and paranoia into people's heads - and not surprizingly,
their lives reflect their programming - in the form of depression,
suicide, and hopelessness. For you loyal defenders of the faith,
that lack of hope is seen in every sigh accompanied by the
wish that God destroys the world "soon", while decades go by.
Nor should we discount the link between mind and body, in observing
the endless parade of chronically sick Witnesses often cursed
with ailments that medical science can barely acknowledge as
objective - multiple personalities, debilitating allergies,
self mutilation syndrome, and so on.
If you become an EX-JW, by all means, CHECK YOUR PRIVATE BELIEFS!
Does your internal dialogue reflect a habit of unceasing guilt
and condemnation? Pessimism? Withdrawal or hate of the human race?
If it does - and you can't change - you'll never be free of
the mental slavery that the Watchtower infects people with.
They say success is the best revenge - I wish all of you
get a solid education, get rich, and feel joy in being alive.
Then, I want you to show up at a Kingdom Hall once in a
while, with a broad smile on your face, driving a beautiful
car and wearing loud clothes. If Witnesses often enjoy seeing
failure in others (yes, they do!) THEY ESPECIALLY HATE seeing
happiness and success in SOMEONE WHO HAS ESCAPED!
Escaping takes time and work, but you can make it.
More and more people are doing it and avoiding the condemnations
of the jealous and self righteous - by succeeding in life.
Buena Suerte,
