What makes you---YOU?

by eyeuse2badub in

of course this is an open ended question but have you ever really thought about what makes you who you are?.

is it our looks, our personality, our physique, our intelligence, our experiences and subsequent memories, our beliefs?

is it a combination of all these things and even more?

I am like a wave at its peak, thinking how great and powerful I am.

But when I reach the shore, I realise that I am just water.

I think I was terribly wrong...

by sinboi in

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.

sinboi

Thank you all for your comments.

When I made that comment, what I was concerned then was the things I have lost after leaving.

But now I realized how much more I have gained by leaving and how many things I would have lost if I choose to stay.

I think the biggest blow to me after I left was the death of my closest friend. I have lost the hope of a resurrection. Did you noticed that after I started the topic on “Is it better to have a false hope than to have no hope”, I disappeared for more than 3 months?

The whole world seems to collapse on me then! I have relied on him too much. I have known him for 8 years. We have gone through life together for half of our lives.We were both 16. And he left me suddenly!

I know that he will be there for me if my parents were to kick me out of my house. I depended on him to help me adapt to this world. Now I find myself alone…I got so depressed that a classmate of mine has to inform the teacher. I have to be referred to a school counselor…

I have gained more friends…I have received more down-to-earth advice from real people…no longer receiving advice from those fanatics at the wt! Yes, learning can sometimes be painful. But no pain no gain! I agree that I have become more mature. I need to hold myself accountable for every action I make. I would not be able to learn this if I continue to live in wt fantasy!

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…

Jehovah Misses Me

by Phoebe in

jw
friends

made the mistake of opening the front door today...i was expecting someone to service our central heating...oh dear, it was a sister instead :(.

she tells me jehovah misses me.

it seems god only sees me if i go to the meetings.

sinboi

Phoebe,

It seems like you have just faded and not completely d/a from them.

But the moment you d/a from them, Jehovah won't miss you anymore...

Jehovah is waiting to toast you at the big A..

Waiting for Jehovah's witnesses

by sinboi in

my mom : why are you leaving the door open?.

me : jehovah's wintesses are around.

i am waiting for them.. my mom ; what for?.

sinboi

Smiddy and DOC,

I have many pictures in my brain. But I just can't draw them out. I suck at drawing. I remember once , I think I am 9 or 10 yrs old, my teacher embarassed me in front of the class when he show everybody my drawing. He did not know what I am drawing. Nobody in the class knows what I draw.

I can only express it in words. But a picture means a thousand words...

For example, when I da'd myself, an elder's son who was in my school drew a picture of a dog eating its own vomit and placed it on my desk.

I have the picture of JWs eating the shit of those old men from the gb. But I can't drew it out. I wanted to ask my friend to draw it but he don't understand exactly the picture in my mind....I am so frustrated over it.

Where is Jehovah?

by sinboi in

many years back, my younger brother and i were the most mischievous kids in the kingdom hall.

we would mischievously take away things like the bible , study magazines, etc from meeting attendees.

soon, they will suspect us if anything went missing.. our parents were annoyed with our conduct and behaviour.. they requested an elder to talk to us.

Many years back, my younger brother and I were the most mischievous kids in the kingdom hall. We would mischievously take away things like the Bible , study magazines, etc from meeting attendees. Soon, they will suspect us if anything went missing.

Our parents were annoyed with our conduct and behaviour.

They requested an elder to talk to us. One day, both of us were brought to the kingdom hall .

I, as the elder son, was brought into the elder's room while my younger brother waited outside.

The elder, with the intention to emphasize the omni-presence of Jehovah, asked me:

“Where is Jehovah?”

I was shocked that he asked me this question. I stared at him blankly.

“Where is Jehovah?” he demanded to know.

I started to perspire and shiver.

Finally, he banged on the table. Ask in a louder tone:

“Where is Jehovah?”

I was so scared that I ran out of his room, grabed my brother’s hand and ran out of the kingdom hall, telling my brother:

“Jehovah is missing and they think we did it.”

(This is just a joke and not a real personal experience.)

My mom ; What for?

Me : To convert the mosquitoes in my room.

(Seriously, last nite I didn't have a good sleep because of the mosquitoes. How I wish they become JWs , abstain from blood and most importantly, to SHUN ME!!!

We are giving too much power to the watchtower

by sinboi in

i am just 17. many of you here are much older than me.. i do feel that offering advice here is like teaching my father how to fuck.

but seriously, i do see the problem here.

we are focusing more on the problem than the solution.. i have been reading mind power books for quite some time.

sinboi

Some people have been convinced that their lives were saved because of it - Scratchme

Yes, I agree. Some are really happy that they have a hope. Like my mom. That is why after I post my previous post about subliminals, I was thinking: if it can work, should I do it.? Will I not be taking away her cherished hope of seeing her dead son (my elder bro) again?

He died due to a malfunctioning liver a few months after birth. That is how my mom started studying with jws.

It is not their beliefs that I oppose. I oppose their mind control tactic…What I want is my parents happy and I also happy. I don’t like it that my parents’ mind are controlled by others. Without that hope, she would not be happy and my whole family unhappy.

Whynot -You are very lucky to still be able to talk to your family.

Yes, I am indeed fortunate. Last nite I was thinking why is my circumstances different from others. I think it is because I am their only son. And the most important thing is that they do not let anybody else to decide how to deal with me. My parents want to decide themselves. Frustrated with the pressure to chase me out the house, my dad voluntarily step down from being a ms. I don’t think he did it 100% because of me. He don’t like to be ms by the way.

You can't judge someone and their reaction, decisions unless you yourself have experienced it in the way they have.

Thank you very much. I will keep this wise saying close to my heart.

neverjw - Focus your efforts mainly in making the best of your newly earned freedom

Yes, friends who knows me well always say I wanted to right all the wrongs in this world.

But I feel myself selfish if I just ignore the plight of others.

You think I can be happy sitting at home while other kids under the same circumstances are being chased out of their homes?

I wanted to help but just don’t know how.

I was simply naive yesterday when I started this topic. I was reasoning in my mind that

they have just a few men in the gb. We have hundreds if not thousands of people here. We can definitely win over them. I was just ignorant. Ignorant of the power of indoctrination. I may use mind power to control my own mind but can never use my mind power to influence a mind that is being controlled by others.

Hitler just one person can use indoctrination to control the minds of millions.

Hey, I have a new idea here...the use of subliminal messages to plant doubts into their minds. In theory it may work....
