Phizzy “There is no substitute for truth and reality, living in delusion doesn't even come second.”
but don’t you think everyone says that and some believe chance as the origin of life and some totally believe intelligent design as the origin.
both groups say things like - “There is no substitute for truth and reality, living in delusion doesn't even come second.”

I will trade comfort for truth every time

Would you really though? Are you prepared to come to terms that you were wrong about what you believe? Cofty have you considered that you have been lied to about the theory of evolution? I know you are comfortable in believing this theory but how can you know it’s the truth?
what if you believed chance as origin of life for a long time then came to realise actually it must have been intelligent design as the origin of life?
would you then wish you could go back and not know what you now know?

Gorb I have to say these are very wise words-
“since being out of jw.org, i'm happy about many aspects of life, and less happy about some other subject. And try to grow, make choices, and learn from things that went wrong.”
I think many here would not be so honest with themselves

Joey you may be right, but that’s a pretty bleak no hope outlook.
If you are right then ignorance is bliss.

“I am as happy as I have ever been since I cut the chains, in so many ways.”
RB What do you believe now? Were you happy when you were PIMI? Do your new beliefs provide hope for the future?

What got me thinking is a new TV show called SILO.
The story starts we don’t know why we are in the silo, we don’t know who built it or how long we have been here but we just know we can’t go outside.
There are 10,000 people living in this big underground silo for generations, they have water, power and the mid levels are farming for food.
Some are curious and have doubts about the story they are told to believe. Some have serious doubts and have strong reason to believe they are being lied to.
In the pilot episode one line really made an impression on me when she said “I wish I could go back and not know what I know”
Everyone else was just getting on with their lives believing the story they were told or perhaps some doubted it, but didn’t dwell too much on it and just carried on being happy with their family and friends.
I am in this category, I doubt the GB interpretation of the Bible is right but maybe there is a God and the Bible is his word. I want to be like those ones in the silo who didn’t dwell too much on it and just carried on being happy with their family and friends.

Look at Lloyd Evans and the mess he has made of his life he is unhappy and talks about suicidal attempts.
Is ignorance bliss?
option 1. Possibly believe something not true (JW interpretation of the Bible) but it makes you happy if you stick to it. Ignorance being bliss.
option 2. Come to the realisation what you believe is wrong and you have wasted so much time believing something not right. You end up unhappy even bitter and resentful. Now you don’t know what to believe.
Or is there a third option where you choose informed ignorance. I know the GB have been wrong about many things and I know they are still wrong about many things. But there is a chance they are right about some things. And I’m comfortable in not knowing the entire truth about these things.
Im PIMA not committing either way, sitting on the fence as it were. Maybe the Bible is the word of God and maybe it isn’t. Either way I love studying it and I also love being part of the congregation of JWs.
But I often wonder would I be happier if I could go back and be fully PIMI?
have you seen this video about the covid vaccines?
have you got any views on the information?
i find it worrying at least.

If you did know the entire truth and you are a good person is not a psychopath then you would be very very angry and would not sleep well at night.
this begs the question is ignorance bliss?
