  Living On the Edge of Uncertainty.

  by Blueblades in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there is, for many of us, a moment in life when we make a choice that changes us forever.

  this moment marks a turning point, a threshold of sorts, when we realize that the life we are living is not a reflection of who we really are.. many, including myself, are living on the edge of uncertainty.

  frightening world events, overwhelming amounts of information, even here on the forum, has cause a transformation that changes us as we shift our beliefs from what we once believed was unshakeable.. i now realize that living the life of one of jehovah's witnesses was and is not a reflection of who i really am.once having been secure in the great issues of life as a jw, i now find myself living on the edge of uncertainty when it comes to the great issues of life.

  *sigh*

  yesh, uncertainty. How wonderful a life is when you get comfortable with uncertainty.

  *pfffff* to the box we used to live in. Very confining and false sense of certainty. Boy can I spot phony certainty now and steer clear.

  btw, welcome to the board, wilsadvocate. Take a look around and you'll see this place is filled with xjws, many angry over the abuse they have suffered being a JW and in a cult.

  Also, direct Will to the Silentlambs.com site. He might find others like him.

  had Will gotten help to deprogram from the JWs since being imprissoned? That would be very sad if he still thinks it is the truth?.

  No one can judge another. No one fully understands what an individual has gone through.

  Those that would never miss a meeting or field service no matter what...

  .

  did you know a few in your congregation that would never miss a meeting, no matter what.

  even if it was 20 below zero or 100 f or if they were sick, they would be there anyways.. these people irritated me, because they wanted to show how good they were.. did you know any like that?

  just got off the phone with my mom which was mostly a pleasant conversation.

  we were talking about moving around to different places and asked if we desire to see more of the us why don't we just pack up and go?

  i stated that we wanted to adopt or have a child in a few years.

  some day, unquie1, you'll see how she is munipulating you. She is under mind-control (cult) and uses guilt to get you to hurt.

  You are in control of your feelings. So don't allow what silly words your mother says stir up feelings of guilt/hurt. Just picture her mouth moving and nothing coming out. Or if you would rather, put in words you want to hear. Make them positive and then you can see how she is guilting/hurting you, and that is not love.

  btw, why stir up the feelings of your hubby. Let love start with you.
