When You Learned TTATT, the truth about the truth(tm) How Did It Make You Feel? (page 5)

tiki

my awakening came around the time a really nasty pedophile case was going on in the cong i was in....i had been fading for years prior to that, but not realizing what or why.....but i started thinking about things, and then another situation occurred which made me start thinking that i was being a hypocrite hanging onto something i didn't believe in. But "truth" - years of conditioning to believe that you are part of a select group of blessed ones who know The Truth.....and realizing what a sham it all is - I was numbed.....and when finally I realized I was free - I literally felt a burden off me - I felt lighter and free............

Angry, then relieved that the doubts Ive had my whole life were finally legitimate, then excited to wake up other people, then let down by their reactions, and now disturbed by their willingness to be brainwashed.

I was fortunate. I've been in the truth long enough to know they change things and make mistakes, so I took the WTS separately from my relationship with God. When I lost faith in the WTS I didn't lose my faith in the Bible or Jehovah.

Relieved. The sh1t was crazy, and I wasn't the problem.

Embarrased - that i've ever identified myself as a JW and embarrassed that anyone knows that I'm a JW

Angry - that I've been lied to all my life and made to feel guilty over nothing

Depressed - where do I turn to, how do I tell my family?

Scared - as above

Confused - as above

Happy - that I can think my own thoughts, I don't believe in Armaggedon, the devil, the 'paradise' anymore

Stuck - as to how I get out unscathed

Excited - about the future, the unknown and being allowed to live my own life, my one life, this one, not an imaginary future one.

Unfortunately, I think I'm still partly in denial.

So I guess that's how I feel.

Relieved, relieved, relieved. That is what this site has done for me. Though I had been out for many many years, I would still sometimes hear a nagging voice in my head, "What if they are right." I no longer hear that voice.

This site gave me TTATT. So many thanks.

Lost, I loved your answer/s. Thanks.
