    Newbie, born-in, 30+ yrs, still trying to decide what I believe since all my options are now open...I can say I no longer feel the need to follow men...

    I've lurked here for quite a while and enjoyed the ramblings of many, so since I'm now a member here are some of my ramblings.

    It makes me sad that so many people will continue to do something just because they feel they have too much time and/or energy invested to stop and make a course correction, even if they see it's leading nowhere or to an undesirable end. It also saddens me how some people are so preprogrammed to follow what others say that they feel extremely uncomfortable changing their views, deep seated or not, even when presented with uncontrovertable evidence that their views are at best unproven, and at worst simply not possible or even plausible.

    But I also realize, that just like in the sci-fi fantasy world of the Matrix, some sheeple just are not mentally prepared to leave their fantasy world. It works for them, and who am I to tell them how they should live. I believe some people are better off as followers of whatever they follow. They just don't have it in them to make the big decisions for themselves, because then they would have to take personal responsibility for making those decisions, and that weight has crushed many souls.

    That's all for now. Thanks for tuning in to my frequency.

    Welcome, sounds like you are on the right track. There is a lot to learn about ourselves and accept about others once we leave the cult. Good luck to you!
