How cool is that? You don't even have to go anywhere or do anything! They just take your money and you never hear from them again! Oh wait... that's bad, isn't it?

Of course you will know that it worked because you will now know that... you're annointed!

And somehow we just knew that the Watchtower's take on Revelation wasn't quite right, I'm so glad to know what it really is!

I relate very much to the last posts by you Journey and Tall Penguin, I'm having similar experiences myself. I can go from the most peaceful state of knowingness to then having to go out into this world, look for a job, repeatedly get turned down, watch what little I have left get reduced to seemingly nothing and end up in total despair. In fact that has happened today just since I made my last post!

I have never had a time in my life like this where I can go from a great high in feeling like I have this life thing figured out and within hours to totally not having a clue about anything. Unbelievably frustrating!!!!

What else is crazy to me is that so many other areas of my life now work easily. I have a wonderful girlfriend who has a couple of great kids, no conflict with anyone, a feeling of confidence and peace in all of my relationships. I even ran into an ex-witness yesterday who needed my help in seeing thru the guilt and fear the Org. put into him. He was so relieved, so elated at the end of our conversation. I know that my gift is to help people trust themselves, give themselves back to themselves if you will. The people closest to me tell me that I have a quality of making them feel good about who they are and they grow and grow around me. I'm not trying to at all boast but how does this help me in a day to day basis of caring for my financial needs?

Other people's gifts reward them handsomely, why not mine???

Why can't I live my truth, put "the Kingdom first" and have the necessities of life??

Oooops, I think I've totally hijacked this great thread--sorry...it does feel good to vent though.

A thoroughly enjoyable thread! As for my input:

When I left the Org. nearly 2 years ago my letters to family and friends were similar. I quickly saw the pattern of judgement that I was perpetuating. So while I don't view things that way now, it was necessary for me to to have gone thru that experience to learn from it.

Indeed, my stance against the Witnesses has been softened to the point that it no longer exists. I understand that those who are still there need it ...just as I did at a certain point in my growth. 6 billion people and 6 billion paths, none more right or wrong, simply different and wonderfully unique.

As JT said, (I loosely quote) if we can use the pain to look deeper, or as I have experienced, to go above to a larger perspective it then serves a useful purpose.

It's been a wild ride for me lately, shedding beliefs left and right. Scary as hell, leaves one feeling totally disoriented and lost but then allowing for growth into a new and astonishing larger vision. Just as most of us here have shed beliefs of judgement, condemnation ect., it's a never ending process of challenging concepts of reality and moving forward. Where it goes, nobody knows.

The hardest thing for me today is that my brother (still very much a Witness) has season tickets and if it weren't for me leaving the cult I'd be at Gillette Stadium RIGHT NOW tailgating!!!
