  Faith, where now?

  so for the first time ever i went to a church service at my local church (coe) and i have to say it was awful!

  it was just like a ritual.

  the vicar would say something and then the congregation would all say a phrase in unison back to him.

  After I left the cult I was too scared to go to any churches for a very long time. I believe you can pray to god wherever you are, you do not need a building.

  But if you want to meet with other christians the type of church I would suggest is one that is more evangelical, I started looking for one a couple of years ago and decided that if I was going to a church and they were going to be preachy and try and make me feel guilty and would be out the door immediately.

  I live in Melbourne Australia and found the Hillsong Church, I enjoy going there because I love the singing, I don't really like the preaching bit, I got enough of that while I was going up in the cult.

  I believe it is good to do mediation and yoga as well, as this aligns us with our spirit and gets us back to our true nature and self.

  Leela I am so sorry that you have had to go through so much pain. Sometimes you have to do what feels right for you. If you want to see you dad then you do it for you not for him. It may bring up same bad memories but it also may give you closure, at least you have seen him and say your peace before some thing happens to him. You have shown you are very strong because despite them shunning you at 16 years old you stayed strong with your decision and made a good life for you and your family. Do what you need to do that makes you feel better. Take care.

  There is also a scripture that says to keep remembrance until his return, I asked my dad: Didn't Jesus return in 1914? He gave me a dirty look.

  What alternative are you looking for.

  We have all asked the same questions when we left the Borg, but we have all come up with different answers. It is not up to anyone else here to tell you what you should believe or if you should join another religion.

  I know when we were in the borg we had a manufactured "one size fits all" answer for everything, but we were living a fairytale that was a lie.

  I left the borg 25 years ago and am still asking, I have changed what I believe in over time, life is a journey to be lived.

  
  
  What I know for sure, we can debate different subjects, and go round and round in circles, but in the end, we can only do what feels right in our own heart, minds. God and given us our own conscience to guide us and we should follow this as it is always right. Live life to the fullest and enjoy each and every single day. We can find happiness in the smallest of things, this can include just smiling at someone passing by and just being thankful.

  
  
  We have no control of what happens when we die so we have to leave this in God's hand.

  Adjusted Knowledge

  How have I dismissed someone with credentials?

  I do not understand how an organisation can distribute the profits from this investments in the same year as the Tax return is lodge, but then says it has no control. Then say it can't do anything about where this money is invested.

  So the watchtower accepts this money from another person and then can distribute that money within the same financial year to whoever the watchtower wants for the last 15years and doesn't have control of the investments?That doesn't make sense.

  After leaving the JW cult, the ex JW community need to stop their old judgemental attitudes. We may not agree with what any other activist are doing but we should still let each person be an individual and do it they way they believe is right. It is not about whether Kim Mikey are better than John Cedars. They are still contributing in their own way. Lets stop trying to compare each activist against each other and stay united in the real fight. Against the Watchtower!!!

  Jehovah's witnesses don't abstain from blood, they now let you have blood fractions to save your life, where you you think blood fractions come from?
