Christopher, you are going to be so much better off once this is just over with. Hang in there, take what's coming and realize that you are on this path of leaving jw's because it is not where you are suppose to be. Bigger and better things and more meaningful relationships are on the way once you get these idiots out of your hair. Be strong, your doing great!

The Wisdom of No Escape and the Path of Loving Kindness- No need for religion in spirituality
by OnTheWayOut inreading tmj4477's thread about religion after jw's and reading perry trying to counter ak-jeff on a thread about god and suffering, both of these made me want to post some eastern thought that doesn't fall into the category of "religious" but might help nonetheless.. .

This is just going to give expecting moms something else negative to be thinking about instead of the arrival of their precious babies! I mean come on, if you are a pregnant woman, in America, in this century, and I'm assuming of an adult age, do you really need an Awake article to give you ANY information on childbirth?? This is one of those areas where the org gets dangerous!
Every time I see a pic or article of Emma it just burns me. So unnecessary!

A starlit night
by John Doe inimmersed in fireflies and enchanting lakeside glows, is worth a monstrous toil through grayed out city lights and cigarette butts scattered round listless strangers scurrying to and fro.

Probably the worst experience I've read yet. You were so young doing what your mother said and yet she didn't have to live that life. She must have been really mentally deranged. I'm so sorry you went through that, what the confusion, abuse and lack of any kind of real love or real childhood must have done to such a young, precious child. Would like to hear how you have managed.
And yes, for all you so called "Elders" or "Friends" reading this, how do you feel knowing that you support this kind of thing by just carrying the title "Jehovah's Witness"? How are you going to explain this?? Shame on you all.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Thank you for that. That's why I read things like Eckart Tolle A New Earth, and Wayne Dyer's, Change Your Thoughts Change Your Life. It's not about belief or attachment, it's about what is NOW........wf

I love your letter. Especially the points you make about humans really being able to change this world all on their own. How we've come so far and although have some to go, we are making great strides. That is optimistic thinking that you only learn once you exit the jw org. They are very pessimistic and are not contributing anything in the progress of man, animal or planet. They base their hope on a future life hoping to get there without contributing any work or positive energy! I think man is on the right track for sure. Thanks for sharing this letter.........wf
