Tonight I am sad..very sad (page 2)

I was thinking along those same lines the other day. Every time I see an elderly pioneer who can barely walk going out day after day in all kinds of conditions, and for what? We got out and I hope many more can do the same.

I am so glad I stuck to what I felt was right in my mind and left the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society.

It was second hardest thing that I have ever experienced in my whole life.

The emotional upset, the cognitive dissonance until my heart and mind were of same thought, the losses of family members, the disfellowshipping for something that I'm not even sure what for.

Leaving J.W.'s is like having your life and mind blow up in your face...especially if your not mentally prepared for the aftermath.

BUT WAS IT WORTH IT...

You are darn right it was. I am FREE... My husband is FREE... My kids are FREE.

Free, free fee. .. to think and feel and make decisions to love and care for those who love and care for me back.. I love having a free mind. I am so happy to be out.

I cannot express how great is to be free of the J.W. mindset, and guilt and fear that I was raised in.

sincerely

Tonight I am sad..very sad

Oct 30, 2003

I was thinking of our friends who were tortured and who died in the concentration-camps in Germany and other countries during WW2..and that all in vane as I understand now.

I was thinking of the missionaries of age who are frustrated in their assignments, who see how their lives have gone with no reward and finally without a purpose.

I was thinking of Bethelites of age, with no change to go back into real world.

I am glad I had the guts to leave missionary-work at the age of almost 40 and at least have the next 40 years a real life

people get sad because they see the REAL past and compare it to an imagined alternative which they feel should have happened instead.... that assumes that reality can unfold in more than one way... and from everything I have experienced this is not the case... we assume reality is flawed because it does not live up to our anticipations and expectations, but reality is just energy in motion, our abilty to comprehend some of it does not change that.

it always amazes me how so many can so easily believe an all knowing god could condemn anyone for being exactly what he always knew they would be. it would be insane to judge something by something you know to be a lie.

Very very sad indeed. But remember, this is your life and no one else's. Use your life the way you see fit. You only have one life and that's it, use the second half of it the way you want to use it, this will make you and everyone else here a much happier and fullfilled person.

Fulano,

Are you sad for all the people you helped bring into the Borg?

I am.

I keep on thinking how many people's lives I destroyed by helping them join them!

This is why I expose their destructive cult I have a chance to do it.

Fulano, I agree with Hooberus, God is real. I am no one to tell you what you can believe in since I have never been in a situation like yours. I have never been in the WT and I do not know the pain of a person whose entire beliefs were destroyed, but one thing I do know is that He is real. You just need to look for Him

Panda I left missionary-service in 1999, I served for almost ten years in the Dominican republic..THANKS for all your nice comments!

I really can't say anything that has not already been said. That being said, thank God you realized the truth about the Watchtower Society. I wish it could be possible to bring back those who have died for the Watchtower Society and give them a second chance. That way they too could have a real life.

Cheer up! The best way to honor their memory is to make every day from this day forward count as something special.
