Did your ability to work get affected by waking up to TTATT?

by stuckinarut2 in

just curious.. when you started to wake up to the truth about the truth, did the shock and the whole experience distract you from your usual activities such as performing at your place of work?.

did you become so consumed by researching, and the subsequent factual discoveries, that it affected your ability to carry out daily tasks?.

Hell yes!! I was a motorbike mechanic. About 2 weeks after JC i was in the French Foreign Legion!

i'm quite new to this site, & have realised some members have a union jack symbol under their avatar.

i don't.. could we have a "show of hands" from any uk members?

i've already found several by reading older posts..

The Hidden Experience that can keep you in the dark.

by days of future passed in

hidden in your past, could be an experience or an example, that you may have never questioned or even realized that you should.. this experience could have very little impact on your life now, but it could also be something that is detrimental in the here and now.. for example, when i was young, my father would take us on camping trips.

we often went over a bridge that had a train trestle next to it.

all you could see of that trestle, was the top that had about 8 humps that spanned the river.

There was a water tower near me i was only young. Maybe 5 or 6 and my parents where discussing the water tower and how a rat was found in it.

Being young i only heard the key words so i assumed it wasnt a water tower it was infact the tower where all the rats lived. As far as i was concerned it was where all rats come from in the entire world.

Funny how something so simple can become so complicated and odd once things gets taken out of context ;)

Kids in my kingdom hall

by Akid48 in

i think my last post i said i went to a new congregation,i'm going to just talk about some of the shit i have seen in my congregation.. there was a kid trying to talk to a adult next to him i think it was his dad,the kid just started taping him because he wanted to tell him something and the dad gets mad then boom the kid gets elbowed.i look around to see if anyone saw him do that to his kid and nope or they didn't want to say anything about it and just like wtf.. in my old congregation,the younger kids would do random stuff in the middle of the meeting to not get board.

when the mom or dad got mad i would see then get dragged to the back of the kingdom hall and hear them start crying.when i was still mentally in i just didnt think about it at all when it would happen but when i woke up im just like thats fucked up..

Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad

by charonsdog in

today, july 1, i wrote what has become my annual contact with my parents.

it is their 51st wedding anniversary.

i e-mail them from across the world where i now live to let them know that i haven't forgotten them, i still love them, and that i'm doing okay.

scruffmcbuff

Sorry to hear for the loss of contact. That must be truely heart breaking.

Your not alone buddy and just know you made the right choice. And maybe your stance could be what saves your kids from the cult.

How do you feel you have progressed ?

by stuckinarut2 in

in the months or years since leaving the organization, how do you think you have progressed as a person?.

(or if you have regressed too i guess?).

what aspects of personal development are you happy with?.

scruffmcbuff

Ive become a new person. Thats the only way i can put it.

I see the family who shunned me a decade ago as strangers and i see a few of those awful worldly people i was warned about as my family.

The worlds not such a scary place afterall.

And this site and its residents are amazing.

I joined posted a bit and went quiet. But i shall be participating more now.

Anyone ever know gays in the hall that are lying to them selfs or others?

by blownaway in

i know of three situations i saw myself.

the first one was when i lived in arcadia.

all the people i use names on are dead and gone so no probs.

scruffmcbuff

Yes i knew of a young lad who ended up DF for it

My sister who shuns me is a lesbian and her partner is her "room mate" i know this as a fact.

Both pioneers both still struggle to cover bills!

They say our love wont pay the rent.....

The new personality

by longgone in

i've been thinking about the changes we make within ourselves after leaving the wts cult.

i'm not referring to how we spend our time now that we actually have some, but who we have become, or working to be?.

the gb carries on and on about "stripping off the old personality and putting on the new one.

scruffmcbuff

Shortly after being disfellowshiped and subsequently homeless at a young age i was saved by everything i was taught to hate.

A man in his 20s, smoked,drank, smoked weed,swore, road a harley... took me in. He showed me kindness i never thought possible. Especially from such a worldly man ;)

It taught me i can be who ever i wish and still be kind.
