I stopped my activities today and started to ask myself: what now?
Could the life be this, to be an ex something, ex JW, ex preacher.?
I think the big part of people who left the WTS has arrived there in firs time looking for something more.
The big questions to be answered. But the Truth became the Big Lie.
What a shot. In spite of this, what now?
I notice many of us took different ways. There are people that still is looking to find God in the Scriptures. Others seems to have turned a bit cynical. Anyway, I feel that we can’t be satisfied
With the idea of to be an”ex”. We must to keep struggling for the answers we looked sometime ago.
I find this board a great help to keep thinking. But I abhorr the idea of to be satisfied with
Just talking. I think there are a fight that we have still to keep fighting.
I wonder how people in the Borg are so selfsatisfied. This the reason they are not seeing what the
Have before them, isn’t it?
I just want to share this feelings.
I see people in this board that still is looking.
Well, keep looking. Jesus said something kinda, didn’t he?
While there are a looking, there are hope.
We proudly have to say: I am not an Ex, I am a christian.
If we are now walking in another path, the one thing to care about is the goal.
Remember.the JWs are not the owner of the Hope, the Bible and, of course, God Himself. Even they think they are, and so told us.
Keep walking. That is all.We run with an advantage. We know there a path that drives to mind slavery.
But there are many more roads. Keep looking.
Love to all,
Paradix.
I refuses to be just an Ex...

You are absolutely, totally, utterly correct. There's much more to life than being an ex-. An ex-anything.
And if you spend all your time being an ex, you become just like the thing you're opposed to. After all, is there any difference between a proton and an anti-proton?
Thanks for bringing it up.

My goal is to become and ex ex-JW. As long as I participate in these baords and dwell on that what I cannot change I am still letting the Borg affect me.
My problem is that I have come to really care for many of the people I have gotten to know at these boards and do not want to lose touch with them or drop them and their struggles to free themselves of the Borg either.
But now my participation is more about the comraderie found here than it is about finding answers or dealing with angst. I am here for the people!
damn it ... I love y'all!!!
