Would You Ever Go Back To The Kingdom Hall? (page 4)

It is your bitterness/hatred towards it that is killing you, and will eventually kill you off.

If bitterness and resentment could kill, then the bitter and resentful JWS would be dying like flies...oh, come to think of it, some of them are. Oops.

Besides, clearly identifying boundaries after years of being on the receiving end of toxic JW bitterness causes some of us to be perfectly clear about "No Go" areas. When traumatized people make a stand against perpetrators, it can either be perceived as "bitterness and resentment" (a special form of victim-bashing) or seen for what it actually is: Triumphantly taking responsibility for one's life, and ending the victim-status by firmly declaring "No".

Unfortunately, I am required to go to the meetings temporarily. When we move into our own home, then that is not even a remote possibility. My father-in-law requires it since we stay in his house. He is trying all that he can to guilt me into becoming active again. That is a big NOT.

I will never go back to the religion, why on earth would I ?, it is the most unbelievable bollocks.

I will never go back to socialising with people who are stupid and uneducated enough to believe such unbelievable bollocks.

I may attend the funeral service for a very near relative, I will hate every moment and may not be able to control myself enough to hide my revulsion for the silly, sick little cult.

There have been a couple of threads on this sort of theme lately, what sort of numb-nuts no-brain hypocrite with no moral sense could consider ever even giving tacit support to these idiots by just seeming to return ?

Went to my dads infomercial-service.....have no other friends, family in....so, I'll just walk on by....thanks for the invite Minimus....you sadist...

Do understand the reasons for those that do go back....to me they need our support, sometimes more than others....Gumby comes to mind...hope he's doing well....

My above acerbic comment may seem a bit harsh on some who feel compelled to continue some sort of charade and stay attending in body at the KH, when their mind and heart reject it all.

I do not see that anything is to be gained by this in the end, if you fear that your marriage partner does not love and respect you enough to allow you to exercise your own conscience, and to live your life according to what you see is right,you may not be in a marriage that is worth preserving.

If it is family that is not so close, then you do them no favours by pretending that they are clinging to anything resembling the truth.

I urge any reading this that are tempted to take the dishonest route of pretending that the WT has something worth supporting to reconsider, yes, it takes courage and moral certainty to stand against the forces of the WT.

It took the same for some who were honourable heroes to stand against the Nazi regime, would you not rather be counted as one who is as strong as them ?

And your life is not on the line, just your comfort zone.

I quit!

So what you're saying is that maybe I should cancel my plans to go crawling back to the KH next week promising to believe any lies they want me to believe and tell any lies they want me to tell? (being sarcastic)

if you fear that your marriage partner does not love and respect you enough to allow you to exercise your own conscience, and to live your life according to what you see is right,you may not be in a marriage that is worth preserving.

You couldn't have said it better. When I left I basically said F**k it. I've don't believe this crap so I have to leave. If I can work it out with my wife her family fine. If not so be it. I'm not going to live a lie just to keep the peace. "To thine own self be true" If you don't have that what do you have left? Who are you?
