@ newboy -I have forgiving my messed up parents for the bull shit they handed down to me. My son was in it for only 21 years and me over 50.
But your right I do need to apologize to him.
As they say "The road to hell is paved with good intentions."
Funny isn't it how we all want some slack cut for ourselves but justice for everyone else.
My son is 24. I was 16 when he was born and I was a jw. He just vocalized a year ago that he doesn't care about me.There was much hate in his message and it crushed me. But does not know me(long story). I guess I dont know him either.
However what you just said and this whole thread makes me feel like I will apologize to him in a way I never have before, if I can get a hold of him. He was my world from when he was born to age 6 after the divorce. I was broken . The road to hell is indeed paved with good intentions. ( Never before has that statement meant as much to me as it does right now) I have been frozen in my own trauma that I have overlooked his feelings on some things. How sad. Sigh , at long last I see what I need to do with my own situation. However he takes it will be his own process and however hard it might be for me to swallow it, I must honor that it is his process. I now know I am not alone. This gives me some small measure of comfort. My situation is very different , but it broke lose crystallization in my ways of thinking Ive been holding on to.
I wish you the best in your journey and wanted you to know that I appreciate you posting this.
I wish for anyone going thru this to not blame themselves to the point that you make yourself out to be a horrible person.

Explain why you are happy if you believe there is no afterlife vs when you joined JW's
by Bad_Wolf inone thing that has intrigued me are so many who have left, who are wholly convinced everything in existence is merely by chance now, also claim they wouldn't want to live forever, and perfectly fine if this is the only life.
now, i would understand that if you were raised into the religion.
i was raised into it.

Even as a jw I never believed in life forever on earth. I always knew I would die and so would everyone else.
It may be the only part of me that stayed in the "reality of things", while in.
I figured my energy would disperse into the things around it after death.
I do believe that energy can get "trapped" so to speak after death, but that leads to a different topic.

Trump and Pence family attending meeting at kingdom hall posted April 30 2017. (interesting) Pardon if posted before.
"WASHINGTON, United States – President Donald Trump and Vice President, Mike Pence made a surprise appearance at a kingdom hall of Jehovah’s witnesses in Washington on Thursday, during the Christian Life and Ministry programme."
Edit: this appears to be fake. ???

Realization of something very close to a supernatural force but scientific
by Bad_Wolf inafter finding patterns in lottery numbers and thinking about if random truly exists, i also flipped a coin for awhile.
i was counted how many times i would get heads and tails and if they would equal out in the end.
if heads slowly was getting ahead too much, i would suddenly get a bunch of tails in a row to almost equal it out.

@cofty. I think I'll change that sentence you highlighted here to say- Energy can be manipulated.
Going to a library that has New Scientist or Popular Science or Scientific ect, pulling out some issues from ten years ago and jotting down just how many of the ‘radical breakthroughs’ and ‘startling discoveries’ of that era are still an accepted part of science now.
Fact-A fact is a statement that is consistent with reality or can be proven with evidence. The usual test for a statement of fact is verifiability — that is, whether it can be demonstrated to correspond to experience.
Experience is subjective.
If someone says, “That is subjective” during a discussion, it means that whatever has been put forth depends upon a point of view from one or more subjects, but that point of view may not be shared by all because of personal situations and experiences. It means the speaker can think of examples or knows of examples where the opposite is perceived by just as many subjects.

Also, I really appreciate being able to use my mind(whats left of it)lol, to talk here. There are many many of you that have tons of years experience on me. On so many levels.
Good to know you are not forming a jw judicial committee just because I say things you dont agree with.
