  Wow this sucks

  by ranmac in

  2. experiences

  my decision to de-program my mind, about a year ago, has been fairly uneventfull, despite a few intense but very real conversations with my wife and parents.. however in the past couple days my father has pretty much made it clear to me that he will put the gb (not god, although they are pretty much viewed the same) before me.

  also tonight the inlaws, who have probly gotten whiff of my inactivity and who never get personal, started to give a lecture on the extreme importance of the family worship arrangement so lovingly arranged for us by the fds, and how if we are not taking advantage of this wonderful provision will not be prepared for armagedon.

  i swear blood was gushing from biting my tounge.. im starting to sense that consequences are coming for my sin of independent research and study.

  My Grandmother's Funeral

  today was my grandmother's funeral.

  she had a hard life (which i will not divulge here) and the circumstances of her death weren't much better.

  she was not a jw but because she was my mother's mother she got a jw eulogy (yeah the jw infomercial).

  Sorry about your grandmother. My gramma died a few years ago. I really loved her. Because most of her family wasnt in the "truth" her funeral was basically just a public talk informing the unbelievers of the teachings and hopes of the organization. I cant even deal with how this made me feel.

  Just want you to know I fell your pain.

  you know when you're in a dark room and someone suddenly flicks on the lights?

  its very unpleasant isnt it?

  that the same reason why jah reveals his light to us gradually over time.

  Hahah!

  Thanks Clarity. Thats hilariously mindblowing!

  I had an over zealous friend tell me that the UN-WT relationship was apostate crap, then literally in the next breath he said that on Jeopardy they said that the NWT was the most accurate translation of the Bible, so....its totaly the truth.

  I wanna hear more.

  randy newman might say, in this moment, .

  moving on, had to get that out of my head, um...so.

  i feel like this is the worst time to be writing anything, as i'm in a rather foul mood today.

  I agree with Clarity, you shud be a writer. Your rambling is very intriguing and real. And quite funny.

  You are very human. Never feel guilty about this. The religion tries to make everyone a khaki pants and tucked in collared shirt robot. Keep being honest and open with yourself. Kill your wife with kindness and keep humour and reality in the forefront. You'll be fine.

  yes you are a freak.

  just kidding. I dont really need this site as much as some probly do. I have friends and some family in the same boat as me. I also havnt really faced much ostracism.

  I have however had reoccuring dreams about armagedon since I was a kid.
