Giving the JWs one more chance.....

ScoobySnax

I'm prompted to make a post on this subject following a previous post from Stace....

I really think I need to go back to the meetings just one more time, I think it'd be a make or break scenario for me. I reckon I'll either go back and become full time like I was before, or just slink away thinking "I can't live up to this anymore" I envy both Witnesses who are full time, for their faithfulness, and those that have made a clean break, for their honesty to themselves, its sort of not right to be living in some sort of limbo state.

Dithering dithering dithering, thats all I've done since I first got here I think, like some fart in a storm, posting fluffy stuff and avoiding the hard stuff.... I hear what some of you say, and it does irritate me as well to be just a hanger-on. I don't think I'll ever be a hardcore anti-jw no more than I'll make Circuit Overseer, but well, I guess I need to go some way or the other.

And, well thats it really.

Well Scoob- sometimes we need to give it one more shot. I think we really need to be sure we are making the correct decision. It is a hard life to sit and wonder "What if..."

Looks like you want to reduce the chances of that. Best wishes and you know you are more than welcome to come back when you want.

"I can't live up to this anymore"

This is where you give yourself no credit and really irritate me Scoob. Shouldn't it be more like "can't live WITH this anymore"? Go back to the meetings if you need to, perhaps you'll find some nice guy, start a family and settle down to three meetings a week and field service again. Good luck or whatever.

Sincerely,

scooby,

if you decide to go ; I have enjoyed your posts....

just remember that sometimes, the really important decisions are made for us.

If nothing else, your time with this forum has shown you that there really is life and happiness "post" JW.

After I learned about the child abuse and the UN scandal, I decided that I would try to be positive at the meetings, look for the good in what they were saying and try to keep things in perspective.

However, it just became more and more apparent to me as time went on that it is not, nor ever was, the truth.

Hey Scoob.

I did not know that you still believed that the Jehovah's Witnesses, and following their faith, was the only way for you to have eternal life. That IS what you believe isn't it? I can respect your wishes.....I just can't understand how. You have been on this site for some time and have read truthful facts concerning the witnesses......and you still feel you need to return. Why? It must be as I said.....you still believe it.

Have you ever read the material offered from others here concerning the organisation and thoroughly checked it out? You should......truth has nothing to fear or hide from.

Take care,

Gumby

At times, those in abusive relationships feel the need to just give their partner "Just one more chance". Typically, the husband beats his wife again with the promise that it won't ever happen again. For whatever reason, they believe that the mate will change. Yet it never happens. The only thing the wife gets is beat up.....Some people need to learn the hard way. Hopefully, if they have to learn in this way, it will not be too late.

Go back to the meetings. I bet the BS turns your stomach and you bail by the middle song.

If not, then, hey, chase the dragon again if you want...

Good luck and best wishes, whatever happens. Try not to let them rule you through fear, okay?
