Woke up this morning to the realization that the future is now

as the title of the thread says, i woke up this morning realizing more than ever that we should, each and every one of us, live for today and what we can accomplish today, rather than constantly looking toward the future.. i'm not implying we shouldn't make plans, plans are healthy and advisable, especially if you have healthy commitments.. but i realized the reason why nothing in my life ever seems to get done, is because i put things off, and look ahead 10 years down the line, then a few days later realize how much work needs to be put into that said task, then i don't do anything.

and so the cycle seems to repeat itself.. what i think i'm trying to say is that worthwhile endeavors that have a reward at the end, but take many years to get there, need to be challenged one day at a time.

i now understand that to get to where we want to be 10 years down the line, we need to focus on today and the hard work that needs to be out into a task one day at a time.

Thanks flipper.

Living in the hear and now is actually harder than it sounds, after years of being told to look to the future, and to "set goals" for the "kingdom".

I remember when the year 2000 arrived. I remember thinking about the future in 15 years time, and to think we would all still be here was akin to apostate thinking. Alas, i am now living 15 years later, wondering how the fu** i'm going to get out of this mess of a religion with my family and sanity in tact.

Thankfully, the only looking to the future i am doing, is working out an exit strategy, and i think i have it nailed.

Wow - Scientology is so similar to Jehovah's Witnesses

by Illuminated in

i recently watched this excellent interview with ex members of scientology.

i was blown with how much former members sound like ex jehovah's witnesses.

both organizations are so similar.. here's a link to the interview:.

To be brutally honest, i couldn't care less about defectors of the Scientology religion, and i'm sure 99.999% of people who have never had any links to Scientology (or any other cult including JWs) wouldn't really care. People don't care. FACT. People are too busy struggling with their own lives to care about bullsh** religions.

Defectors from a cult only interest cult members, not to normal members of the society

Shows how bat sh** crazy the whole thing is.

Are people really happy at Bethel?

by The Searcher in

if they are this happy, why do they keep taking down this video?

Great responses, thanks.

This forum is really helping me find the right type of balance in my life.

Prologos, that's a nice analogy. Enjoy the ride of life, gain pleasure from it, but at the same time, don't be disappointed when it's over, because hills don't go on forever.

I think what the WT feeds us is a nice thought in all reality, living forever in peace in a Utopian society, with perfection of your senses to really be one with the earth. But that's all it is, a nice idea. It's another thing actually believing with your whole life force it's actually going to happen.

I didn't understand at first when i read this forum, that some of you guys were upset, and angry, maybe even slightly bitter dare i say it. But my understanding now is that it's understandable, entire lives have been robbed, and that is something you can never get back. WT has basically robbed so many of a life, to push it's own agenda. Companies do it all the time with employees, but employees usually get a wage slip at the end of the month, and have something tangible for their effort. To do it in the guise of religion & godliness, and to not give anything back to its adherents, that is pretty sick.

Yeah, it's pretty sick in all honesty.

Everything in WT land is "short term" goal based, and most "goals" that you can achieve, are achieved in 6-12 months with little to no effort.

I'm pretty sure that's why long term success that actually takes real work, to me has been quite a scary prospect.

This has been a huge sticking point for me, but i'm starting to trace it back to the WT belief system. I'm not entirely sure how, could you guys lend your thoughts?
