Has anyone had a WT literature burning party?

by lepermessiah in

i keep staring at the bookshelf full of wt literature in my house and keep having visions of a red-orange glow as the flames crawl higher and higher.

my goal is to gather it all together, douse it with lighter fluid, and watch it go!.

ultimately, i dream of my wife being the one who strikes the match and joins me in the celebration.. has anyone had that experience?

one evening I gathered all the propaganda, piled it on the floor and stared at it, had a good cry, and bagged it all up to toss out

I saved a king james bible and a 4-translations bible...anything printed by the wtbts was in my past ...

very emotional experience and very liberating yes!

i felt much lighter...

Were You A Happy JW or An Unhappy One?

by mentallyfree31 in

when you were a witness, were you happy or miserable?.

i feel like i was pretty happy for over 20 of the 25 years.

only the last 5 years and especially the last 1-2 years did i really burn out and just wasn't that into it.

I was mostly happy-go-lucky when I was believing.. ignoring 'negative' talk and glossing over 'faults' (hypocrisy and abuse). ( ignoring so as to not blow my entire belief system from birth), always wanting to walk right into Paradise ...soft lush carpet of grass...everyone hugging and being kind to one another...frolicking in the meadows...swimming with the dolphins..no starving babies..all sunshine and love and peace..it was going to happen, we just didn't know the exact moment..

I really thought I had the best of friends, special, faithful people...wow, how blessed I was to be raised in The Truth, God's very own religion here on earth.

When i divorced at around 30, (not adultery), I still clung to my support, took comfort from family and friends that knew me from birth. but once the dust began to settle there i was ...looking around at the meetings no longer as my refuge, no more the ultimate brotherhood. I was dying as a JW. It wasn't in my heart to live for tommorrow any longer. There was no joy in it. I still love so many of them, but didn't relate anymore. It didn't fit anymore. It was still a sort of happiness...because it was a new self-discovery. There was a secret inside that grew to become too big to ignore. The secret was that I was falling out of love with The Truth. And when I thought of all the possibilities outside those walls, it drew a smile on my face.

One foot in front of the other ... out of the KH never to return.

Tangent...so i admit, this was my very own personal therapy session ..thanks for listening

Shawshank Redemption and leaving Jehovah's Witnesses

by AllTimeJeff in

i doubt very seriously that i am the first to make the connection of exiting jw's and much of the movie "shawshank redemption".. frequently, the injustice that many experience as baptized members of jehovah's witnesses cause them to want to resign, to leave.. but it is a prison of sorts.

if you leave and announce it, you are shunned.

and no one will talk to you.. shawshank is such a remarkable movie to me for its simple, underlying theme; finding meaning in our suffering, and never stopping the fight against injustice, esp against our own freedom.. the best part of the movie is the line "you can either get busy living, or get busy dying.".

freeflyingfaerie

That is one of the best movies!!! Yes! justice and freedom , the human spirit alive!
