Zombies! I love Zombie shows. Maybe its my knowledge of the ressurection that fuels my interest in Zombie stories. Anyhow, how does my love of Zombie films relate to moving on in life after being disfellowshiped or leaving Jehovah's Witnesses behind?
Stuck in the mud. A recent Walking Dead show I watched had a scene where a zombie was stuck in the mud while trying to get at Carl for dinner. That zombie tried his best to get himself unstuck. That scene reminded me of myself for years trying to move on from the deep mud puddle that is being one of Jehovahs Witnesses. While stuck you can see so many opportunities in the world around you that you want to reach for, but FEAR or the mud puddle just keeps you there, always wanting, always desiring but not able to move from the mud puddle. Sometime it takes a little help. I was pushed out and after spending alot of time picking away the hardened mud, I am finally able to start reahing my goals.
Back to my zombie friend. He eventually was able to free himself and later was able to find his dinner. He was relentless. You too must be relentless. You must keep pushing to free yourself from the mud puddle of FEAR. Listen to the wise words of those around you. Just like an abusive relationship, you never can see the damage done to you until you are away from it. But trust me, others see it. These are your allies.
Trust them. Believe them. Remove the hardened mud and get a move on with your life.
love it
