Life and The Watchtower have sure done a number on you Abandoned!
Not everyone feels the way you do! What I mean is, people who have been nurtured and taught that God loves them and is there for them no matter what, never feel so unloved and unworthy and ugly. Your terrible feelings are a product of the abusive handling and teachings you have been exposed to.
Now that you are out you can begin to see more clearly what happened to you.
You need to be nurtured by all, but especially by your self. You need to think positive messages about yourself. But sometimes this is impossible until others convince you you are appreciated and valued.
Dont children need to hear that they are loved and valued? If not, they grow up insecure and lonely.
Our mothers tell us they love us just because we are theirs.
Our fathers tell us they love us when we make them proud and do good things.
Together their love is a powerful force.
But human mothers and fathers are only a projection of the great love from the Universe that is out there
for us to feel.
There is a Universal Love out there and a Universal Smile for all of us.
We are all intrinsically valuable.
We all deserve to be valued and loved.
The Watchtower did us a great disservice and harm, not only drilling us with their narrow view of Gods love, but also by throwing us out, banishing us, telling us we were far from Gods love and forbidden to enjoy the love of our friends and family any longer.
But now the loving arm of compassionate mankind can fold around you Abandoned and teach you a new way to approach life and God, others and yourself, a happier way, a kinder way, a more tolerant benevolent way.
We are happy you joined JWD Abandoned. Your contributions in such a short time have been outstanding and from the heart.
