Is There Anything in Life That You Truly Regretted? (page 3)

"......I regret making a bad decision and thereby losing the love of my life, Susan McGraw, 26 years ago. It was all my fault, none of hers. And I will take that regret to my grave......"

Francois, I know exactly how you feel. I let the love of my life get away 23 years ago. It was all my fault, I was a fool. After we broke up, he married someone else who was madly in love with him, but who was smart enough not to sabotage the relationship like me. This directly affected my self-esteem to the point where I really don't like myself, which is probably why I've never married. While I've done a thousand things in my life that I regret to no end, this one was the one that stands out the most.

I once "truly regretted" never having made ministerial servant. I also regretted never bringing a single soul into the truth. For some reason, those aren't regrets anymore.

I regret being a JW in some ways, but not others:

In the religion, I quit smoking, quit having alcohol / drugs control my happiness. (That's it) It really did make me a better person, and that's something that I still hold on to to this day. I will never smoke again, and never have the need to get drunk to enjoy life... (I hope!)

I regret the way that I acted in the truth - self-righteous weiner.... I regret many things in there, but I can't do diddly squat about it now - just move on, and learn from it. Learn not to judje people too much, b/c we all have our faults, and don't even know it!

Face it Minimus, you were a fanatic.

Actually, I have a sort of similar experience as minumus reports - my wife had surgery on her wrist on a Tuesday, and I lfet her home alone because I had a meeting part that night. I regretted that very much and still do. That's what that religion does to you.

I regret that I had a wrong teacher for so many years.

I regret that I once joined the JWs.

I regret that I encouraged my mom to get reinstated.

But through my regrets I have learned a lot, and learned to be happy with where I am now.

Hello, everyone! It's been a while. I hope you all are doing fine.

You remind me a lot of me, Shamus.

As I recall, I was a major prick when I was a Dub. I truly believed all the bullshit and judged people accordingly. Even those I considered my "brothers." Even worse, I judged the people I went to school with who didn't know a damn thing about the Jehovah Religion. The people who for years tried to be my friend, but I wasn't having any of it because they were "worldly."

I finally figured out that everyone is imperfect. Even me. Most of all me. So, I don't judge people anymore. I figured out that we are all flawed creatures... just trying to find our way.

Nice meeting you, Shamus.
