In a post Spartacus said;
:Exchanged my dreams for the JW lifestyle that is based on ideas of men and lies.,...
Sounds like someones personal dreams were in conflict
with the sainthood(JW lifestyle)and sought the perfect
excuses to abandon ship!
To xJW's, please answer;
How much of your giving up on the JW religion
(in part or in whole)actually stems from a personal incompatibilty with the JW religious lifestyle?
For example if in the recesses of our soul,
perhaps we desired to 'make it' in sports,
did our personal aspirations create a conflict
with the JW lifestyle thus leading to the eventual
departure from JW religion.
Could it be perhaps OUR very personality in some
respects is incompatible with the JW lifestyle,
and so we seek a 'clean' excuse to leave, thus
seeking exaggerating faults with the religion?
Please be as honest and forthright as you
could possibly be.
