  Scared I'll Never be Happy Again

  2. experiences

  so it's' been 8 months since i was disfellowshiped.

  i moved out of my mothers house accross the country to room with a friend.

  things have been going ok, it's just strange to be so far away from everything that felt familiar, even the meetings.

  Hello Stumbline,

  I sympathize with how you feel. We all go through a period of self examination where we feel we are worthless. And drifting. And guilty for no apparant reason. Thats the collateral damage that accompanies giving up the former lifestyle within the cult. And it needs to be sucked up.

  Heres a poem that helped me so much that it became my pillar, my backbone. Also it made a loner out of me. Standing alone makes you the strongest.I hope you like poetry. Please read and I hope it strengthens you.

  Rudyard Kipling
  If

  If If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or, being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise; If you can dream - and not make dreams your master; If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with triumph and disaster And treat those two imposters just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to broken, And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools; If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breath a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on"; If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch; If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you; If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run - Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

  "Elders are allowed to investigate..." Juat what are their qualifications as investigators? Have they had any experience in really "investigating" a pedophile case before with irrefutable evidence that was instrumental in convicting the felon? So what is the special qualification that allows these worms to find themselves eligible to "investigate " a case of this magnitude? And after it ha ben proven in a court of law-of-the-land? 'Pray what meat doth this Caesar feed that he is grown so great?'

  Wait a minute! Are you asking me to believe that a country that changed the face of the world and brought monarchs to their knees, is allowing a scumbag cult to chuck its jurisprudence out the door, override a judicial decision and set up a kangaroo court (affter the-proven-in the-kings-court fact) and then allow this guttersnipe, to interview his victims so that they( the victims) have to prove (to the worms who call themselves elders) that he indeed was guilty and they were innocent victims- just so they can "disfellowship"him?And is this now being condoned by the rank and file witnesses as well as the rest of the country?

  somebody please hit me on the head with a watchtower!

  Do you think JW’s are dangerous, if yes why? If not, why?

  by suavojr in

  personally the jws to me are not dangerous.

  on the other hand, many do think they are in fact a dangerous cult.

  why are they dangerous?.

  They are bloody tenaciousI'll tell you that. Just ask any and all who are trying to fade.

  "Such men as they be never at hearts ease whence they behold someone happier than themselves. They (don't) think too much; Seldom they smile (in earnest) and when they do, it is to zap a sucker into their net of deceipt ; Obedient to their masters whose commands trancendeth god above. Such men are dangerous." ( with apologies to Shakespeare)

  The cult's twisted indoctrination. ""Leave all else and go get back that one lost sheep"(the accepted pronounciation is - DOG), just as Jesus commanded.

  JESUS ALSO SAID THAT WHILE UNDERTAKING THIS NOBLE CHRISTIAN ENTERPRISE THE FOLLOWING IS TO BE STRICTLY FOLLOWED AND IS ABSOLUTELY ACCEPTABLE.

  "Meanwhile ram him where he lives. Don't talk to him. Don't allow his family to talk to him. Treat him like he were a scumbag. Never mind his suffering because Df'ing has emotional/ collateral damage attatched which comes with the territory and is in harmony with biblical teachings ( the FDS says so and are annointed by Jesus himself- just scroll back to 1914 and Jesus himself will confirm this ) and of course Apostates/DF'd are dogs. They always want o go back to their puke.

  Just a minute sir, nowherein the scriptures is the last two paragraphs mentioned .

  " This is new light that has been beamed upon the FDS. Another book is to be added to the bible that explains everything that is inexplicable to non-spiritual minds like yours.

  But you can't add to the books of the bible?

  Moron! didn't a recent watchtower just inform you to do and believe evrything that the FDS says even though it maynot make any sense to you? Just folow directions, stop asking questions or you'll be joining the pack of chihuhuas on this forum.

  The definition of "spiritual" is kinda elusive. If by spiritual he means religious then the most religious man lived 500 years BCE. His name was Gautama Siddhartha -the guy who invented Bhuddhism. His take was give up all material things, control and kill all fleshly desires and live a morally good life. If you followed his bilge, you would be ten thousand times more spiritual than this clown of an elder. How come the Enlightened one couldn't see what our enlightened elder sees? Oh I forgot -Paul hadn't written to the Cor: yet.-gosh I must be an idiot -he wasn't even born; I'm a total moron. His parents wouldn'tbe born for another 500 years!

  J is looking down on the entire earth and cannot see a man who teaches lives and dies practicing almost exactly what the JW's teach about being spiritual and non-materialistic. He gets passed over for a murderer turned spiritual teacher , who inturn has directly annointed our elder pal in 2014( and all Jw's) to tell us he can see what we can't. Amazing X-ray vision. Just like superman's .Can he describe and put into words how his spiritual perception is better educated to intepret the scriptures to us, and how that spirituality makes him so eloquent that he cant put into words why his intepretation is superior in meaning to the black and white understood by all who read it? Because his "spiritual vision" of the scriptures is just as fake as the born agains " speaking -in tongues" crap. Just as they can't give a reason for their transformation or explain what it exactly s for , this elder is just as gobbledegook in his.
