  hello friends!.

  well, i never thought i'd see the day when i was prepared to talk about my 20 plus years in "the truth" (rolls eyes upward in despair)!

  in view of what i have to show from it, i cannot help thinking that i wasted the best years of my life!

  Do You Realize How Much Being a Witness Has Hindered You?

  by minimus in

  the truth is------- we have lost out on soooooo much, simply because we were witnesses.

  it might b like almost starting all over again, for some of us.

  what hits you as to what you could've had or have outrightly lost??

  No I don't realize yet, but it is dawning on me!

  I had fake dreams and false realities. I had no ambitions!

  I find myself in my mid forties and not knowing who the hell I am, what I really want and where I want to be.

  But that being said, I am happier now than I have ever been. Free to choose, not feel guilty and beginning to realize that I am more than OK! (Never actually fancied living in the new system anyhow, pipe dream that it was)

  and it made me feel odd, unnerved.. i haven't been to a meeting for two years now and am quite anti jw but this still felt odd, to see her wearing a cross.

  when you feel you have to make a few conditions?

  there is so much talk about unconditional love but is this the only kind?

  Thank you lots of food for thought.

  The love for your child seems to me the nearest you can get to unconditional love.

  However the love between adults(it seems to me) however strong has limits. Are these conditions?

  What is Your purpose/point for being here?

  by ScoobySnax in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i get asked that question alot, some even ask what exactly my purpose is!

  i can live with it.. if i had to answer my own question, i'd have to say it broken down into a number of points.

  a. i like to see what the latest stuff is happening on the "apostate" side.. b. i like to watch the politics of this group.

  My children want me to stop looking at this site now. They reckon I should move on.........

  but I was a JW for 40 plus years it isn't that easy.

  They think I shouldn't waste any more energy on it. Have they a point?

  Who do you blame for the time you wasted as a DUB?

  by Thunder Rider in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  think of all the time and energy you wasted sitting in meetings, going door to door and refraining from making friends and having enjoyable association with non dubs.

  think about how much of your finite life is lost to you because you were a witness.

  think about how foolish you looked, hanging on to the false teachings and empty hopes for the future.

  Myself for many of the years as I knew 'it' was very flawed but went along anyway.

  The fear of what to do with my life without 'it' held me back and so much by then had become habit.

  But my parents, family etc. are quite happy, continuing to be blind.
