  The reactive mind vs the thoughtful mind...

  by RayoFlight2014 in

  a thought came to me as i was posting on another topic.

  my reactionary mind, responding to watchtower's cruel and hostile treatment of genuine truthseekers who can no longer reconcile with watchtower's narrative was, " may the collapse begin".. but then my thoughts turned to how that would affect my parents and siblings who are blissfully oblivious with their collective heads in the sand.

  all their hopes and future joy has been postponed for decades awaiting paradise while fighting off the black dog that is depression.

  what unique to jws phrases do you remember?

  something fun for those of us taught to speak an entirely unique and pure language.

  there have been posts in the past in this forum but perhaps some have new ones after having kept up with jehovah's chariot as the light gets brighter.

  Hi Theonlyoneleft,

  I hear ya.

  My concern is that they will be rudely awakened by some event that is unmistakable and crudely rips the rug out from under them.

  I'd like to be able to prepare them for that or at least have a readymade safety net to catch them as they fall.

  I just have this uneasy feeling that the choice to remain oblivious may not be an option.

  The Watchtower stole from me and you too

  by rickroll in

  2. experiences

  think of how much time and money the tower stole from any who were in the cult.

  think of the vacations as a child you could have taken with your families the memories you could have made instead of sitting in a hot bs week of echo talks and propaganda.

  they stole so much from us.

  Yes, that parasite cult consumed my neurons and stole away my ability to take education seriously.

  But I'm done eating shit pie.

  I enjoy being free from undue influence and coercion; I am free to choose whatever pie I desire, or I can choose to not have pie.

  Maybe I'll go a healthy option?

  Or not...

  Num Num Num.

  Hi BluesBrother,

  I gave your comment a like, although I didn't like that you had given up hope of reaching your loved ones, I found that sad, but I understand.

  If we didn't care it wouldn't be so goddamn frustrating that they won't even talk about it or concede when faced with facts on the absurdity of the many teachings, flipflops and child rape scandals that watchtower is responsible for.

  Hi sir82,

  Thank you for your input, but knowing my family, its Jehovah's witnesses, or bust. There will be no alternative religion for them.

  I know once I couldn't reconcile with watchtower/ jw's I was repulsed by religion and they will be the same.

  We, as a family weren't in it for the social aspect, we fully believed that Jehovah's organization was the only vehicle to our salvation, our tears would be wiped away and we would be reunited with our loved ones living in gods New Order.

  This will be huge for them and others like them who are genuinely lovely deluded people and I can't help but worry for them.

  Hi Giordano,

  I remember you mentioned "The true believer" in another post.

  I'll have to read that book.

  Thanks for the reminder.

  What you said about perpetuating an illusion is so true...you and I can understand the concept... but attempting to articulate that to a person who doesn't entertain doubts that watchtower is anything but God's organisation, is bound to fail.

  Hi resolute Bandicoot,

  I see we share the same dilemma.

  Maybe with help from our friends here we will find some words of wisdom to resolve this conundrum.

  I would dearly love to provide an acceptable and truthful alternative outlook for any who need the type of assurance that false hope and false promise usually gives.

  Unfortunately the answers don't come easy when we have integrity to truth.

  Hi Stan,

  I agree there will be many who dont really believe strongly that the watchtower is God's channel. Others who, like you said are trapped and looking for an escape. These ones will fare better when the watchtower is fully exposed and begins to have a noticeable decline.

  The folk I'm more concerned about are the ones like my family.... simple folk who's minds are totally captive to the organization, for them it has to be truth.... their mental stability is teetering on a knifes edge while they wait for a promised paradise so they can finally live the "real" life.....they are banking their whole lives on a cruel promise of absolution that will never come.

  For example how does one help a man-child who lacks the capacity to grasp or comprehend an alternative reality?

  They are deep in their delusion, and that delusion has been their comfort in times of emotional distress.

  They are about to be blind-sided and I feel the need to gently prepare them for impact. " brace yourselves, this is going to hurt"

  What can a therapist really do?

  by Thetruthhurts in

  2. medical

  hi all, i've not read the forums for awhile as i've been trying to move on with my life but i'm back and posting for the first time feeling like i cant get a grip.

  so i'm wondering for those of you that have seen a therapist and say that it truly helps, what can be accomplished?

  i'm just really skeptical, but starting to feel desperate.

  Hi Thetruthhurts,

  Letting go of emotions is not the way to properly grieve.

  You must give yourself permission to grieve at your own pace.

  It takes time to go through the stages of the grieving process to be able to heal.

  Your feelings are real, they matter and are valid.

  This is temporary and you will get through it. Research, talk through it when you want to with us and find a therapist that works for you.

  Talk to your GP.

  You will find balance.
