  Using the "C-Word" With My Wife

  by breakfast of champions in

  months ago, i commented on another thread about a strategy i was using to introduce my wife to the way cults work--without using the word "cult" and scaring her away.

  here's my first comment on that thread:.

  i pulled hassan's bite model off the internet and imported it into my word processor.

  Desperately hoping something is true, does not true, make it.

  Honestly, who would want to go through the WT's version of Armageddon or the Great Tribulation.

  Why did we always secretly hope it would come during the prayer on Sunday afternoon's convention?

  one last step..Is being mentally out the same as being emotionally out?

  by MissFit in

  2. friends

  we talk here about the importance of being mentally and physically out to be really free.. what about being emotionally free?.

  i realized for me, i had to be emotionally awake first.

  i had been yo-young back and forth for years.

  There are several congregations in my area.

  After tolerating the crazy personalities, cliques and internal power struggles, I eventually cycled through all of the local congregation over a period of 25 years.

  It got to the point where I was dragging myself to the meetings, hating everything about them, doing the pre-meeting greetings and token handshakes with people that pretend they are listening to you or remotely interested in what you are saying.

  Finally, I was either leaving early or immediately after the closing song/prayer on the verge of tears.

  My problem now is "how could I have not noticed" the FACT that I had been wasting my life.
  I find myself wondering how I believed the nonsense as truth and worried about the "authority" of the elders

  It is emotionally taxing when you have invested so much time with so many people and you are treated like you never existed to show for it.
