  3 Months Today

  by PaulJ in

  3 months ago today my life changed indescribably for the better.

  before i was always feeling guilty about leaving the witnesses and just counting the days until 'armageddon'.... trying not to think about being bird food and getting on with my life as best as i can.

  sometimes i used to get nervous if there was a really bad thunderstorm.... i little voice in my head told me it could be the end.. but now im free, thanks to this site and the people on here.

  thanks paulj, i know what you mean about the matrix i sat at the hall last night listening to things like 'even tho jehs day is later than we may have thought it should not deter us from preaching and staying completely loyal to the organization' and i couldnt stand being there!

  so i know i just cant go back i will keep on reading cofc (im about a quarter of way thru) and ill try and get that other book, it prob seems wierd that i am trying to find out things that will ultimately hurt my family even more (which im not quite sure i can do) sometimes i wonder should i not just go back and live my life for them, but i just dont think i can stomach going back! tho i was alittle scared last week in that storm!

  mental isnt it, but im so glad ive met people like you who have been thru it and are happy now, well done

  I recommend meditation!

  by metatron in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one of the surprizing - and humbling - aspects of life that keeps things interesting is the fact that simple stuff can be overlooked.

  in the rat race of life.

  such has been my experience with meditation.. i attended a class run by a guy who got trained in tibet.

  satanus do you mean that if i meditated and thought something it is just from me anyway? and hthat to come into contact with anything else id have to get better at it! (or can some people not do it at all?)

  i tried an exercise from that book about clearing your mind and they said after a while you have to vision a big white circle that gets bigger till it is as big as a door then you can step through it and then you will see some stuff (prob from your own subconcious) but nothing happened with me i couldnt even see the door without thinking things like i must buy some paint for my door! i cant seem to stop talking even when im not opening my mouth!!

  What Motivates YOU to Post Here?

  by trevor in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  defd has said he will leave and it caused me reflect on how he was treated.

  are we happy with the way we responded when he tried to defend his faith?

  this and comments about my own attitude have caused me to review my motive for the posts i make.. when i first started posting here i was thoughtful and sincere as were most of the posters back then.

  i havent been posting that long but sirona introduced me to this site when i got dfed,

  i post now because im confused and want to hear all your views on the religon, as i have so much family pressure on me (i have let them think im gonne get reinstated asap!) and i supose alittle scardness that 'what if it is the 'truth' (sorry everyone!) and i love the encouragement i get from everyone and finding out certain teachings are false (im hoping that will give me the strength i need to stand up to my family!)

  also it cheers me up, paulj said a really good joke on a thread and i cant remember what it was but it really cheered me up that day

  thanks paul

  WHAT DID YOU THINK OF APOSTATES ?????????+

  by vitty in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when you were still in the org, did you ever wonder what the apostates were saying?

  the society would just say lies and half truths.i always assumed it was about the trinity, and other religious stuff.

  i thought they were exjws who had become born agains !.

  just the same as ggg i thought they were obviously on satans side and actually felt sorry for them coz their eyes were closed to the 'truth'

  i remember when i was younger my dad got a big brown envelope through the door (anoymously off an apostate) and they got the gloves out picked it up with a pair of tweezers threw it in the outside bin and then we had to pray as a family that it wouldnt happen again!

  not much chance of me being able to talk to them about this site now is there
