Do you remember the moment that you stopped believing that it was "The Truth"?
by freeflyingfaerie inwas there one incident or epiphany that struck you hard?
or was it a slow...gradual awakening (no pun)?.
my coming out of the jw coma (as i like to call it) began at a family rendezvous in the beautiful florida gulf coast.

I totally feel your experiences. The comment about outgrowing the religion I relate to completely. When you step back for a moment and take a breather from the constant borage of brainwashing and let your own inner voice become louder than the WT, the big cult picture becomes more and more clear.
After that summer rendezvous it still took about 6 months of having a new skeptical outlook and becoming "spiritually weak" before I went to my very last meeting. There was alot to absorb when it clicked that I had lost my desire to bond to the mothership any longer. Thanks for your expressions. Its good not to feel alone in this.

aSphereisnotaCircle, me too. I'm a massage therapist in Las Vegas, the legit kind. The spa pays about $40-50 per hour of treatment plus tips. It has been more quiet in the past couple years w the economy , but seems to be picking up some.

My coming out of the JW Coma (as I like to call it) began at a family rendezvous in the beautiful Florida Gulf coast. It was to me a metaphor
for life. Pretty much my entire JW family and myself and my faeries were there together, surrounded by beauty and at my father's urging mostly (an elder) we still had a little sunday family study and managed to get to a meeting by the beach. How figity I was! Somehow the watchtower seemed so cerebral and detached from humanness and took the joy away. It felt like we were being obligated to not ever 'take a brake' from being JW's . and it was starting to get to me. And my parents seemed fanatical and zealous like never before.
Something about that trip made me question if we were all wasting our lives by being so religious, when opportunities and simple pleasures lie right in front of us...a metaphor for life.
And that began for me the change from "I am a humble servant, I believe anything and everything you tell me..keep feeding me more guilt, fear, and lies" to "is this for real?" and "what if ...just what if we have all been duped"?!
Your curious fellow ex-dubby,

Top Ten Signs You're a Fundamentalist Christian
by thetrueone intop ten signs you're a fundamentalist christian.
1 - you vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.. .
2 - you feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the biblical claim that we were created from dirt.. .

Zen living part 8 (summarized): You've already started living zen
by JimmyPage inyour life has already begun, and you can start living in the moment right now.. everything you need to live mindfully and completely is already within you.. doing your job, maintaining personal discipline, and developing devotion toward fellow sentient beings and the care of the world are ideal arenas for practicing mindfulness and letting go of attachments.. zen meditation, or zazen, is simply but mindfully sitting to cultivate full awareness.. meditation is difficult because the mind is in the habit of attaching to thoughts, feelings, ideas, and opinions.
everyday sitting will gradually train your mind to observe rather than attach..

Thank you for that. Living in the moment , yes. I got so much peace when i was reading a book on tantra, it was also about letting go, being in the moment, accepting yourself..so peaceful...

I also experienced what Flipper said about being with an emotional vampire A person should not displace their anger and unhappiness on another in an abusive way, any form of abuse. I left a very unhealthy marriage after 10 yrs. The divorce was final 1 yr later. (not for adultery)
2 yrs later, i left the clutches of yet another abusive, controlling relationship..the cult.. i think we all know which one
I've seriously questioned my sanity and wonder why i stayed so long in either, anyway im hoping to continue healing and growing and being more aware.. maybe a little wiser
