Just wanting to share something positive.

by BLISSISIGNORANCE in

hello friends.

i have been away from the forum for a while and just wanted to drop in to say a quick hi to all.. i was looking through some of the posts and remembering how i felt a couple of years ago when my entire family walked away from the borg, and the reasons for leaving.

there was so much hurt and sadness, confusion and anger, and of course fear!.

HI BLISSISIGNORANCE!

Thanks for writing that.It is nice to read something positive. you sound like you have really got your life on track now; good for you!

I am one of the people you referered to that still feels pretty messed up after leaving the witnesses. Thanks for the hope that one day things will get better!

glad to hear that yopu are feeling happy today! enjoy it and have some fun!

An apology to you all...

i just finished commenting on minimus' thread (oh man, i hope it was his thread now...not enough coffee yet to be fully brained today...).

anyway, it was the thread on how everyone was choosing to leave/has left from the org.

i hate with a passion the fact that i was judged while in the wts.

pudd

hi CeriseRose I understand how you feel. That is one of the things that hit me hard after I stopped going to meetings. how judgemental I was! I did not realize it at the time but I was. When I was a teenager quite a few of my friends left the truth. I was heart broken as I was convinced that satan had won them over. I dutifully shunned them and thought I was better as I had remained faithful! It is shameful really, but we all did it. Don't beat yourself up about it too much though. You were a victim of witness teachings and did what you thought was right at the time. Pudd

Stumbling

by larc in

stumbling is a term i never understood.

let's suppose i robbed a bank and a witness was a witness to my crime.

would they decide to the same thing?

pudd

When I went to the memorial this year a "brother" got up and walked out. Apparently his attitude was that as I had made my decision to leave then I had no right to be at the Kingdom Hall.

The next time I am asked to go to a meeting you can be sure I will use this idea of stumbling to my advantage. I will make sure they know I was well and truly "stumbled"!

In reality as much as it upset me at the time, I just think he is a pathetic self rightous individual and if I did think it was the truth I wouldn't let him or anybody eles stand in my way. So I agree that it is a ridiculas notion!

after i stopped going to meetings about a year ago this place was a real life saver.

i would come here every day just to know i was not alone and preserve a small amount of sanity.

in that time i got to know a number of you and i realy don?t know how i would have got though this time with out you!

I have not been well lately. I have mixed state bipolar disorder and I have only just managed to stay out of hospital. I have not been able to find the motivation to do anything other than the essentials, and then only because of my children. So It feels like an eternaty since I tuned the computer on. It was so reasuring to see the same familiar names and spend a little while reading a few posts. I just wanted to say ?hello? again and apologize to those who I have not been in touch with.

I still feel very foggy and unreal but I think I am over the worse and hope to be able to start living again soon. Thanks again every one for your support.

lol

Reminds me of a time years ago when a friend of mine was hopeless at replying to my letters. (before we used e-mail!) I sent her an envelope and wrote on the back "when you open this you will know how I feel" There was no letter inside! she got the message and I got a letter a few days latter.
