  Does Knowing the Truth Make you a Happier person?

  by gumby in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  many of us who were once jehovah's witnesses had a measure of happiness in our lives.

  for me, i had a hope in the future, i had answers as to why we are all here, i believed in a loving god who looked after me and cared about me, i had answers to all of lifes big questions.. when i found out the truth about the witnesses, i was lost in a great big world and now had no answers other than the fact that what i once believed was "the truth" in actuality wasn't the truth.i now had to start all over in my search for truth.

  for me, it wasn't long before i found what i thought was the truth since i always believed in the bible.

  Gumby, great topic Happy to see your post!

  No, I am not happier and it has to do with my adult children that are still JW's and are shunning me because I came "clean" with telling them I am not going to the meetings. While it was a relief to come "clean" coming "clean" has it's price: abandonment.

  I feel saddened and not honored as a Mother and abandoned by my children. I watched my Mom die of cancer when I was 14, and my Dad dealt with her loss by drinking so I was abandoned again. I felt very much alone as a teenager and some how years later I am alone again.

  I try to keep telling myself they are in a "cult" and don't realize it and one day, as it happened to me, their "rose colored glasses" will crack.

  Please allow anyone who posts on this site their freedom of spirituallity......

  When I post, I don't assume others are wrong.........just what works for me.

  Please respect that and don't try to alter or infuse your views. That reminds me of being a JW again.

  Peace.

  Welcome

  There is no place to go...........after being raised a Jw......and then finding they harbor pedophiles and the lack of love.......I feel safer being "spiritual" then "religious"...I don't trust "religion"....I think Jesus would approve of being spiritual more then religious anyways......

  Cruzanheart was on national TV (Dateline, Murphy Texas)

  by Big Tex in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  dateline has been running a series of programs on internet child predators.

  just a few months ago, they (along with perverted justice) made an appearance in sleepy little murphy, texas.

  they used a house 2 blocks from where we live (all those evil, wicked apostates who've been to my home should know).. tonight they ran the episode, complete with the arrest of a local school teacher who was trolling after what he thought a 13 year old boy, a neighbor (literally) and a public prosecutor who killed himself rather than be arrested.
