forgiveness is for you often - not the forgiven - let it go and move on

OMG I'm gonna feed a troll

let it go and move on !!!!

if it were only that simple.

That is as stupid as telling a person with a broken leg to forget it and keep walking.

Trauma and hurt MUST be dealt with. People here have been hurt. They have lost friends and family and their whole support system.

People come here to regain a sense of who they are, to discuss their hurts and anger and get some support and then to help others and finally move on.

"forgiveness is for you often - not the forgiven - let it go and move on"

Is that from a WT article? A Bible passage? Hmm . . . sounds alot like the empty teachings and philosophies of men . . .

Quit letting an organization bring you down. Is this not what Satan would want? The untruths have caused alot of people to lose their faith in everything under the sun. It is time to gather your senses and rebuild your faith. This is accomplished by relying completely in Jehovah. He will deliver you..........have a little faith, let it go.

For most of us Brown, coming to this forum is just one aspect of not "letting an organization get us down".

You are a bit ambiguous with you post "The untruths(?) have caused alot of people to lose their faith in everything under the sun"? What "untruths" are you speaking of?

"It is time to gather your senses and rebuild your faith?" Our faith in what or whom? God? The organization of Jehovah's Witnesses?

"This is accomplished by relying completely in Jehovah. He will deliver you..........have a little faith, let it go". Thanks Mr. Helper.

By the way . . . "forgive" who or what?

Kind Regards,

**Quit letting an organization bring you down.**

Maybe that WOULD be possible in a fantasy world.........but in MY world, no matter WHICH WAY I turn, I keep getting smacked in the face as a constant reminder of what the WTS has done (and CONTINUES to do) to my life.

Having an Elderette daughter that enjoys getting her digs in through other family members, and spreading the MOST vicious lies that I am not "allowed to confront her with" because she snubs and shuns me.....and the fact that when a JW relative died last year (after I was "out of the WTS") and when I chose NOT to subject myself to the "LOVE" of all the JWs at the KH for the "funeral service"...now the REST of the family, NONJWs are pissed off at me....

The "ripple effect" is mindboggling. So you SEE.........it's not a simple and easy matter to resolve when the WTS spreads it's poisonous wings and the minds of everyone within arm's reach of them are affected.

I don't regret that I am out of the WTS, but I DO regret that I ever got mixed up with it in the first place!

I COULD forgive and forget IF I had the chance........

Hi Annie,

I understand how cruel people can be, as I have been subjected to hatred and such, since I was growing up. What gives me motivation to continue and put things aside is the fact that I stand on the side of truth and justice. You may shed many tears, but you will be blessed for standing up for righteousness sake. The best thing to do is always show others love, even those that persecute you. No one can ever take this away from you. We can all make the decision to cave into hatred, or rely upon Jehovah, yes, just as the bible teaches. A person becomes stronger when they are put to the test. When under trial is when you have to rely upon Jehovah, and your faith will redeem you. I don't mean to sound so preachy, but it actually works.............I am a witness of Jehovah in that respect. Open your heart to the love that Jehovah can provide to you in return.................I feel for you.

Corvin,

The untruths that I speak of are the ones that were taught by the WTS. I came from the same organization, and left just like everyone else for the most part. If you were part of the organization, then I will make an assumption that you are somewhat spiritual. Who were you serving? The WTS, or Jehovah God. Jehovah is still the sovereign of the universe, and still the God of Abraham. He did not mislead you, the organization did. Jesus prophecied that many false prophets would rise and mislead many, if possible, even the chosen ones. This has happened, therefore we rely upon Jehovah exclusively.............He is still our God, and our Father.

I have always believed that a person should first show signs of sorrow, or repentance, before I forgave them. But understand, the people that are still in the organization are still being mislead. Consider yourselves fortunate to find the real truth, and therefore you have left behind the lies. I for one believe that Jehovah is keeping His promises to the original seed of Abraham, which are the tribes of Israel and Judah. I believe this is occuring in the Middle East as we speak. Who these tribes turn out to be remains to be seen, but rest assured, something is definitely developing in the Middle East. This is my belief and no matter if it occurs or not, I will still rely upon Jehovah for my salvation...........have a great day

What is "it"? I hate mind reading.

Good illustration about the broken leg, LL.

I agree that hurt must be dealt with. Forgiveness cannot be done until then. But I also believe that forgiveness is for ME, not the receiver. The benefits of forgiving mostly affect ME and MY mental/physical health. When I posivitely CANNOT forgive someone, it's a big clue that the hurt has not been dealt with.

Also...forgiveness is the journey, not the destination. When I set my mind to forgive someone, it's something I have to work at day after day. I don't just wake up, do it once and all is well. To me...it's the process of it that makes ME a better person. It doesn't mean they deserve it - many times they don't. But then again I don't deserve forgiveness for some of the things I've done in my life either.

let it go
