  Cognitive dissonance... help!

  by ele_lux in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  something strange (maybe not) is happening to me.

  when i come here, or get online and find proof that jehovah's witnesses are not "the truth", or when i talk to my brother and really think stuff through, i'm absolutely convinced that i'm doing the right thing by leaving before i get older and waste more of my life.. but when i'm tired or scared or in some other way not fully active in thought, i still feel guilty and fearful that armageddon will come and i'll regret this.. i had expected that the moment i consciously and in use of reason convinced my self that this wasn't the truth, i'd be mentally free from it.

  but i still feel its grip on the back of my mind.. what can i do to get rid of that dissonance (or whatever it's called)?.

  What is the meaning of true spirituality?

  by ele_lux in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was trying to figure out the answer to this question when i came across my notes of a talk by the do in the 09 circuit convention.

  he said the world defined "spirituality" however it would suit them; according to their own religion.

  he gave example definitions of spirituality (being in touch with nature, spiritism, going to church and reading the bible, etc.
