Movin' on DTR (down the road/🤣) takes time. How ever long it takes is how ever long it takes --- reality 101!!

I assume you are referring to people harmed by the religion(?) Many have died over the years so there’s no justice for them.

The ones living who fell for the bullshit and never got a career and have reached retirement age unprepared, are in a terrible predicament!

Longy -- referring to anyone who has suffered needlessly by abusive disordered characters/religions, etc.

It's a sad situation for many JWs and elderly people.

Yes, and in these cases, they are certainly not obliged to forgive!

I cannot get over the arrogance and delusion of people in the religion - like my old acquaintance who imagined I was going to give money to JWs who criticized me for working!.. They instead believed they should be in the ministry ringing doorbells for 40 years and as a result - did not pay enough into SS.. Very sad but this is not my problem.

The audacity of old acquaintance -- hope this was before you made your exit.

They knew the yrs. were flying by and they'd be dependent on the government/handouts and how they managed when younger is beyond me. It takes hard work and effort to plan for the future and why they felt they were unique and avoided reality -- WOW! It's called being irresponsible. If you don't work you don't eat -- plain and simple in my book.

My old acquaintance was a married woman who had no concept of what it was like to work and support herself. A man supported her and she never thought twice about it.

The worst attitude was they imagined I (as a single woman) should ‘persecute’ myself and live poorly with a roommate and have no life. They thought I should pioneer, do housecleaning and favors for Users. Meanwhile, they lived in luxury.. Imagine the fkng audacity?

Listen, I know some marriages are hell and some women are abused. I’m not talking about them. I’m referring to those who are mostly older with children out of the house. They have a cushy life because the man makes a good living (and I do not begrudge anybody that).

My problem is when they made idiot remarks about somebody like me. I was getting home late from my ft job. When I got to the hall say on a Thursday night meeting, I was coming in from a long day of work, maybe cold inclement weather. Sometimes I hadn’t had dinner yet. Meanwhile, they just pushed themselves away from their dinner tables after an easy day. The problem is when they made unforgivable remarks about people’s ‘spirituality’ and not pioneering. Some of these ‘great ladies’ might have hosted those special dinners for young pioneers. Of course, I was never invited to them but I have to say it proved to be worth every penny not to have been!

When the stupid religion took away the reporting of hours and time slips (2023), I was ever so glad I never listened to their garbage and had no regrets about what I did.

Longy -- I never understood how they could treat others so horribly and profess to serve God and be in fear of him. In my opinion, many were the antithesis of caring, loving, Christians, or ones striving to be Christ like. No compassion or empathy what their associates/others endure in order to work hard and make it to a meeting. They're trained to only recognize/help one if a pioneer -- WT has created these subhumans.

The religion structures them to focus on one thing - serve the WT. The gods handed your life back to you - you're the winner - no regrets.

Excellent Reddit post - "You Are Not Obligated to Forgive". Great post, Longy - thanks for the share.
