There's a thread going just now that is about the perception our JW relatives and friends have of us since we have left............on success.
How do you think that DOES resonate within the JW brain?
SUCCESS.
I was speaking of this tonight with two young men, twins, who are currently being shunned by their parents. The things that they have heard from relatives is that there is still a strong bit of family ties that thinks that by shunning them they will return............
they really don't get it.
We have succeeded in breaking free of a cult mind set and there's no way we will go backwards and return ........unless we become retarded in some way through brain injury and revert back to previous mind sets.....I've instructed my kids to shoot me please if ever such a scenario happened ...........OK......maybe not shoot me but leave me off in a wilderness and gently push me over a cliff or something.
How does one UN-LEARN what one has learned? How do you go BACKWARDS? WHY would you go backwards??
How do we now REACH our loved ones who are still trapped? That is the most troublesome question and it is endlessly pursued here in these threads.
So I guess the original question is: How do WE answer back as to our SUCCESS?
I guess it is simply with a smile and an upturn of an eyebrow saying, "what do you want to know?"
