I Effing Hate My Ex-religion

[saraemerald]

I grew up a Jehovah's Witness and I just found out a couple moments ago, a third person I know that was a Jehovah's Witness, committed suicide.
It is such a sick religion and I am pissed off angry for anyone that had experienced pain because of this religion! What a f#$%ing joke this religion is!!! I am pissed off and angry right now!

I've been struggling in general with religion. It seems to be something that is supposed to help a person, but in many ways I feel it has hurt me more than help. And I come from a Catholic home. I'm not sure, it's something I've been meaning to reflect on and sort through my own feelings. I still believe in God, but I question if this is what he wanted for us? I'm not certain, but I'm not certain of God's will either anymore. I've been pushing aside the thoughts and avoiding them, but they keep popping up in my head.

Why don't you try different denominations and see if you don't find one you feel more comfortable with?

I've been wanting to. My husband, however, is not supportive in this endeavor, so Ive been putting it off. Maybe I wont anymore? I definitely need to sit with my thoughts and feelings a bit so that I can verbalize what it is that I want/need.

#Same! I was raised Southern Baptist. I stopped believing in January of this year and I've been SO ANGRY ever since. I guess I'm not as angry as I was but I still harbor unnecessary bitterness for all people of faith. I know some very kind-hearted Christians but I even count those people as supporting an abusive organization. I don't mean to offend anyone, I'm just in a bad place with that right now.
