  Taking up a Cause

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so recently, my jw wife asks me if i ever considered taking up a cause.it was a question out of the blue, coming off of a discussion about politics.

  so while it was unsaid, she was really getting at whether i was considering being politically active in some way.. i already have a standard answer that i have used before with other people, so i said it.

  "no, i will be content to work and get by then retire and sit in the sun with a good book and a cold water.

  I've found giving a way to feel better about myself. even though I'm agnostic I've joined a progressive church that allows me to do toys for tots, work in a soup kitchen, food pantry, and Feed America trucks.

  Virgochick: it still seems a little surreal but I do find myself trying to make up for lost time.

  My dad left shortly after I did because he would not shun me. This was the first time he said happy birthday to me. It still feels "wrong" coming from him.

  This was always a source of cognitive discenece for me. We were supposed to follow Christ's example while not helping anyone outside the congregation.

  It goes back to the very beginning. Satan, in the guise of the snake, insinuated that mankind did not need Jehovah. The UN, like all other forms of government, are part of Satins organization. Or so I was always told. It's like the quote that was popular when I was in. It's not up to man to direct his own footsteps.

  My wife blew my mind, Seth Andrews, and more....

  so i recently had the opportunity to hear seth andrews speak in person at a local unitarian universalist church.

  for those of you who know my past, i've had a bit of a difficult time dealing with the emotional aspects of a fade with a wife that says she believes but doesn't put forth the works that demonstrate that faith.

  we've kind of been in a rocky point in our relationship because we've both been afraid to test the waters on where each of us stand.

  I Didn't Belong

  i remember an art project when i was six years old.

  the teacher handed out felt pine trees that we glued to burlap sheets.

  everyone then attached little pieces of colorful material to the felt trees.

  Thank you guys. All of your validation means a lot to me. Once my mother left the Truth and started sleeping around and doing drugs it reconfirmed to me what the Society always said. If you leave the truth your life would fall apart. At least this made sense to the 9 year old boy that I was. This turned me into an uber JW. Street corner every Saturday morning before the service meeting and more FS. Field service every day during school vacations. I did this until I was 18 and had enough not fitting in any Kingdom Hall and left not knowing TTATT. 18 years of living in constant fear of Armageddon I finally discovered TTATT a year and half ago.

  hoser you belong anywhere you want to be. It's taken me way to many years to figure it out but its true. At the root of every person is the desire to be accepted. If you accept them they will accept you. Granted there are exceptions to the rules but generally I believe this to be true.
