I have once commented under the topic "Are you better off as a worldly person or a JW? "
I am a born-in but left nearly a year ago at age 16. I would say when I was a jw and was still fully convinced that it is the truth, I was happier. I have a hope then. Maybe ignorance is not a bad thing after all.
Now that I am out. I faced the question many people have : What is the purpose of life?
I cannot be happy when I find no answer....
But now when I ponder over it, I think I was terribly wrong.
It seems like when I made that comment, deep inside I was blaming people for taking away the hope from me. I am really sorry if I have offended any of you here with my comment.
I should be happy that I found out about TTATT at a young age. If nobody has taken that false hope from me, I would be still be living in a lie.
I know that when I am 30 year old and the big A haven’t come yet, I will begin to doubt. If that is the case, I would have wasted 30 years of my life living in a lie!
100 years ago, that borg told the young that they will never grow old. I am sure they were very happy then. But what happened? I think I can understand how they feel when they started to turn 60 y/o…
I realize now how fortunate I am…
