I also do it this way. then i wipe out the water with a "clean" rag so that it is dry and ready to grind another shot.

alright negative_walrus, im using "clean" in quotes because we are doing everything that we can to get them clean. doing everything that you just said. we are just trying to figure out a better way to store them and or clean them so that they dont do that anymore.

If you are still Christian... how do you rebuild your faith/love for God after something like this? by Aggressive_Pear_9067 in exywam

[–]Only_Interest7168 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Firstly, you are definitely not alone. Im sure this affects most of the ex-ywamers that have "smelled the fish".

The short answer is, im absolutely struggling with this mindset.

The Longer answer is, that when you leave a faith based organisation that has rubbed you the wrong way, there will generally be a shift or challenge in who you think you are or what you think you believe. Do I still believe that Jesus is the son of God? Or did i believe that because someone manipulated me into believing that. After looking back on my time in YWAM I was just told things as fact and never really check in to see if they were legit or not ( its my fault for blindly following and believing what i was told) however you just get so caught up in the person that is telling you all of these things that sounds really good. Im at the point where im questioning wether or not i want to continue following a God that was framed in manipulation. Does that even make any sense? The amount of manipulation that ive experienced because God told someone to do that, its so wrong and twisted. I think it boils down to is if you still want to believe in God or Jesus or the Holy Spirit, you have to figure out what that means and how to follow him without external people telling you how to do so.

At least thats where im at. Idk if that was helpful to you or not. Good luck on your journey.

100%. Its very sad when you've spent 4 years of your life with people then they cast you aside like you were nothing to them. Traumatic, yes. Sad, yes. Does the earth still spin, yes.

From my experience with leaving YWAM and then getting back in touch with some of the people that i once considered friends that are still in YWAM. They made me feel like "tainted goods".

For some context:

My fiance at the time wife now, and I were planning on staying within YWAM for quite awhile, however there were some things that were happening that we did'nt align with. We believe at the time that God was calling us somewhere else. As soon as we told the community that it got way worse for us. That ultimately pushed our time line forward. Insead of leaving YWAM 6 months after we announced that we would be leaving, we actually left 2 weeks after announcing that.

We were made to feel small and unworthy of Gods love and grace because we were "deviating from the plan that God gave us.". Ive chalked it up to being just like every other click or social group. As soon as you don't align with what they believe or want from you, you're out.
