  The only thing in this world we have complete unquestionable control over is our own mind, and our own thoughts, and how we choose to frame (or think about) things.

  The only thing in this world we have complete unquestionable control over is our own mind, and our own thoughts, and how we choose to frame (or think about) things.

  And when you throw away all of the layers of constructs

  about how we think:

  Religious mores,

  Agendas,

  Politics,

  Dogmas,

  Greed,

  Self flagellation,

  Social mores,

  Cultural mores,

  Speech,

  Language,

  Ambient abuse,

  Behavioral chains of nonsense,

  Yada yada yada,

  When we begin to throw away all of those layers,

  that frame our thinking,

  how we actually think about stuff,

  and how we came to think about stuff,

  we can’t even say we control our body functions,

  we can control how we think about body functions,

  but we can’t control the body functions themselves, (women's hormones case and point)

  to a point.

  But how we think about those basic things forms the basis of 'who we are' and what we choose to do with ourselves.

  If you get down to the core and live in the moment,

  nothing else begins to matter,

  I can’t control other people and what they say.

  I can’t control other people and what they think and what they choose to hear.

  I can’t control anything really.

  Other than my own thoughts and how I choose to frame them.

  It’s pretty simple.

  When you begin to look at things through that lens.

  I can’t control anything completely and unquestionably.

  I can control my mind and how I choose to think about things. That’s it.

  Consequences of the cult? FEAR and PASSIVITY - anything else?

  by BluePill2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  depending how long you where a member or if you where a born in, the watchtower leaves certain marks or traces in your mind that you only notice after leaving them for good.. i think this is similar to a big river, with a high level of water that covers the hidden rocks and cliffs.

  once you start lowering the water level, all these rocks come to the surface and suddenly that river is difficult to navigate.. like that river, our minds are flooded with false hope for the future, a naive expectation to have jehovah sort things out for you and lots of fake, conditional love and warmth.

  all these things hide the fact that the same organization also put some heavy rocks into your mind called fear and passivity.

  The real reason the WBATS don't want you in college!!!

  by ADJUSTMENTS in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the wbats have ramped up no college for jws once again.

  the first time they backed off of it is because they noticed a person flipping hamburgers or cleaning toilets are not able to donate much money... so the wtbats says lets allow them to at least get a 2 year degree, then they can donate a little more... this goes on for awhile, but then the wbats notice that many who go to college are leaving...

  well because they gain knowledge and distance themselves from the cult and it's ignorance, have access to outside sources, and eventually learn ttatt!!!
