10 Nutty Beliefs! (page 4)

Quester

Thanks for the replies Larc and Tina.

Larc - About being imperfect, my positive
affirmation for that is:

I do the best I can with what I know
and when I know better, I do better.
I am a work in progress.

Tina - I agree, we can't just walk away from the
jw religion and think that's all there is to it.
I wanted to understand what happened to me, so
that it wouldn't happen to me again.

Thanks for this thread.
I wish there was more of this kind of stuff on
the board. Something more positive and
constructive to think about and to do.

But that's me.
I'm a positive person.

Bringing this back for mad ap et al. With a focus on no.4

9.It was my past,that causes me to act and feel this way now.Not that our past hasn't affected us,but do we remain stuck in it? Do we make an active effort to learn and grow?

Reading all the threads on child molesters and child molestation survivors - this thought comes into play. We can stay in the past or make the active effort to learn and grow. However, most survivors, I think, will agree that it takes each of us a different time span and effort. The end result for a lot of us will be different - not necessarily good/bad - just different.

As for JW's? Now xjw's? Guess the same principle applies. Lord knows, I don't wanna be stuck in that past - just recognize the good and bad and then learn and grow...........and not make the same cultish mistake again.

Thanks Tina, for putting this thread up for reading.

Recently, I started a thread, The good that the JWs did for me. I think the ideas expressed here in Tina's thread fit nicely what I wrote, so I brought this thread back up top.

Where have I been all day, I just found this!

anyhoo, Tina-girl,

Excellent work bringing this here. I saw Joelbear's post about self esteem and saw the reference to this thread. I have to say I have slower become aware of the items on this list. I suppose I could have done it quicker if I'd have read this long ago.

Good points dear--
Julie
