Do Your Witness Relatives Want You To Be Happy? (page 2)

HeyNow!

I have been inactive for over ten years, but the last two years have been the happiest in my life! I have conveyed this to my mother and I know she realizes that it is true; however, you can tell she wishes it wasn't so.

Why am I happy? Married to a wonderful woman and have a great child! Starting a new career which will enable her to go part time and provide for a great education for our son. Instead of wasting hour on hours of meetings and service each week, I can spend it with them enjoying life. Guess what?!?! no worry of pesky elders!! Yeah I am soo happy, somebody pinch me..lol

My Mum once exclaimed very bitterly that I had "landed on my feet" too many times and that I would probably have been back at the KH if things hadn't gone so well in my life.

My mom told me 'I could fall in a vat of shit and come out smelling like roses' Of course she meant that as an insult. hehe .

my witness family (i,e, Mom and Step Dad) think the only way for me to be happy is by coming back to the WTS...

they don't get it when I say.. I AM HAPPY

From what I've read about the typical cult experience, fears about leaving a group are quite irrational and filled with images like becoming miserable, going insane, becoming a drug addict, getting cancer, getting hit by a falling piano, etc. From what it sounds like, the typical JW is at least conditioned to believe that misery is awaiting them outside of Jehovah's Organization. You guys are dispelling this myth and causing your relatives some real dissonance by being so darned happy. Keep up the good work.

My mother told me just yesterday me being happy is a lie. I will reap everything I have sown even if it is just on my death bed and I realize that all hope is gone. She says there is no way I can truly be happy. She hates it that I am happy without the wittnesses.

It's the silliest damn thing when I think about it.

I have never been happier or more successful in my life. Never has the the quality of my life ever been so good, the quality of my relationships ever been so great.

I have heard many people say to me in that selfrighteous, judgemental pittiful tone, "If only you would come back to Jehovah . . . ".

Well, then what? What would happen if I came back to that organization?

I would be just as effed up . . . just as self-righteous, the "happy only on the surface" kind of shmuck the ones who say that to me are. The ones who tell me this stuff are spiritually weak, hypocritical, kids on drugs and booze, abusive, lying, self-righteous . . . they are truly living the diluded dream . . . living in a fool's spiritual paradise.

It cracks me up that they think I am not happy. It cracks me up even more that they hallucinate they are happy.

Biggest bunch of cult crap I ever heard.

My parents exert this very very light pressure to come visit their KH now and then. When I was first on the road to reinstatement, my father told me he would love me no matter what choice I made. I'm taking him up on that offer now.

Corvin: You are so right, I've also noticed this in the biggest "come back" talkers. The person who has told me the most that I need to return to J-ho also frequently talks of suicide, lies constantly, disrespects everyone in his path, and drinks like he's on spring break. I don't take the suicide thing too seriously, because I used to joke around the same way, but once you start to love, those thoughts go away, at least in my case. Outspoken JWs are the worst.

Black Sheep

Without reading any of the other posts.

They want me to be miserable without their hope.

But it just ain't going to happen.

Thanks to the people who went to the trouble of exposing their BS in their Trinity brochure etc. I know that I am now free from their cult and I have let them all know that I am not going to be influenced by their cranky doctrines any more.

No, they do not want me to be happy with my new found freedom, but that is their problem, not mine.

They are having a much harder time dealing with my opposition than they were dealing with my previous disinterest.

That'll serve them right for threatening me with their moldy armageddon again.
