About me

i've been doing the home study with the jw's for almost a year now.

i've never attended the kingdom hall meetings because i didn't want to -- i used my parents' objection as an excuse.

but now i'm at a problem - i believe more as the christadelphians believe, and i no longer want to do the study with the jw's i know.

5thGeneration, I don't know how you can say that. If you do still have those friends then they must still think you are a witness or likely to come back. Do those people have you over for dinner and go to basketball games with you? Maybe your concept of friend is a little skewed.

Torn between being Gay and the Truth.........

is there anything worse than this?

sometimes it is ok, other times it sucks.

Aphrodite

Goodnight Scooby.

I just had a thought and its that I think as witnesses we were made to feel that unless we were suffering we were not really doing the right thing. So once we are out it seems really weird that its OK to feel good and happy and comfortable and peaceful. We keep trying unconsciously to put ourselves in a place where we feel unhappy, uncomfortable and "persecuted" because we were taught to believe that was the only way we could be "right".

I know every now and then I have a thought that my life is too good to be true and an impending sense of doom like it can't possibly last and the better things are the worse a thing will happen.

Slowly I am deprogramming from that as terrible things don't happen and actually more and more good things happen to me.

Interestingly since my Mum recently started shunning me I have for the first time realised that I have a place in my community, a place in my 'club', I am a part of the world and really belong. I have awesome friends and I feel protected and embraced.

It was a wonderful sensation to realise that and I then realised I am the center of my universe and everything DOES revolve around me. It is all here for me, for various reasons and I can choose to do what I will with it.

Ask yourself this also, does what you do come from a place of love or from a place of fear. If from love you can never go wrong, if fear then stop, check out how to turn it into love and you'll be fine.

cheers Aphrodite.

The universe is here for YOU, everything around you is specifically for you, if its painful then its a lesson you need to learn. Pain is given to us to show us not to go there again, that its bad for us. When you cut yourself and it hurts its to tell you to not put your fingers in the way of knives.

What you call the "truth" is obviously not YOUR truth in YOUR universe, though it may well be the truth of others. It hurts you, stay away from it. Find your own truth and be at peace.

They really are crazy aren't they. I mean actually nuts. It makes me worried that they actually WILL drink the Kool Aid one day.
