  Is going from the JWs to another Religion just a "Rebound?"

  by braincleaned in

  *a rebound is the need to fill a void with something we partly had confort in; whether in romance or faith.... .

  i posted the following in another thread, and i welcome your feedback - especially if you disagree with my logic.

  "as per one of my notes, my biggest fear is my, our, natural tendency for confirmation bias.

  I think the answer to your question is rhetorical - YES it is a rebound, and why do some do this?

  They feel the need to socialize in a religiously organized setting, it's as simple as that. Good people still feel the need to "belong" somewhere, it fills a spot in their lives,

  Not everyone has that feeling to do that AFTER they leave the Borg, some do, so let them do it if it makes them feel better and fills a gap - and here is the key....> "IN THEIR LIFE"

  If that isnt' for you we understand, but to ask that question is INSANE, It's like saying when you break up with your girlfriend and next week start dating another women, is that just a "Rebound" YES YES YES

  Who gives a Rats Monkeys, what the universe holds or the answers to all the Galactic questions, WE'LL NEVER have the answers to that. Heck, Einstein, Newton and Stephen Hawking do not even know the answers, why do you think WE SHOULD HAVE THE ANSWERS? There may be no answers at all, and what a folly that is looking for something that does not exist.

  Like Jack Nicholson said in a FEW GOOD MEN - "we can't handle the truth" that is why we live on earth for up to 80-90 years, if we are lucky and dont get stuck in a sad Nursing home, and DIE . YES WE DIE, Worm Food, 6 feet under, Dust to Dust.

  That's all it is, why waste your time, with wondering why, we'll never get the answers and all we do is lose valuable time for the more enjoyable things: Playing with our grandkids, or our best friend "Sparky" , having coffee with Mary at Cafe Nervosa or traveling to the Andes to see the ancient world of people that just like us - never had the answers either.

  Just get out there and do something good...er great with your life!

  Thats my take, I have to go bed, I got all worked up over this, sorry folks

  so tonight after the meeting, this brother whome i've grown up with invited me to eat.

  he had come almost an hour late to the meeting and looked kind of down and a bit depressed.

  i agreed to go eat.. there was very little talking at first.

  More Disclosure Stuff

  hardly a week passes without some credible figure testifying to ufo reality.. http://beforeitsnews.com/unexplained-phenomena/2012/08/ufo-disclosure-may-be-imminent-2430224.html.

  i've followed ufo stories for some years now and this barrage of authoritative people looks unprecedented.

  couple that with the claim that ufo sightings have increased enormously in the past couple years and...... who knows?.

  whassup guys.

  i've spent most of my web time over the last 2 years at another site full of ex-jdubs...i'd say about 50 people post there on occasion...many of that number regularly.. what struck me from the beginning, as i got to know the people posting there was...how many were now atheists...non-believers in god...the bible...pretty much anything they once held sacred as jw's!.

  i dare say...90 some % do not consider themselves christian now!.
