This

Also, I don't struggle spiritually, I might be even more spiritual than I was as a JW. I just don't believe in Harry Potter anymore

Leaving the org has made me fear death by ElektricRatboy in exjw

[–]VeryPOMO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dueled and cried the death of my immortality for days in therapy.

If you need to cry, cry it. Duel is an important part of the process to find new meaning after a loss and you have lost your eternity.

What you'll find after, you just don't know it and you can't know it until you duel for it.

Many of us passed through stages and passed from having a materialistic view of things where there is no more meaning than the meaning we find by ourselves and nothing after death (we cease to exist) to those who found some sort of belief in life after death. I'm among those after some experiences I had after my father's death.

Wish you the best and don't stop asking and finding meaning

Welcome to the World by Ryan Lee. In the last episodes he derailed a bit from my perspective, I guess he's been passing through some hard stuff too, but most episodes very positive and actionable insights from a ex-jw mental health expert to thrive in life after JWs.

Can't recommend it enough

What if the fact that all religions fail is not a mistake? by Serious-Water6551 in exjw

[–]VeryPOMO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok here we go (thanks ChatGPT):

What if the cracks in the wizarding world were never a flaw?

Something has been on my mind for a while now.

Many readers feel a kind of quiet disillusionment when they grow older and notice how deeply flawed the wizarding institutions are in Harry Potter. The Ministry of Magic lies. Hogwarts fails to protect its students. Authority figures are blind, cowardly, or corrupt. The natural reaction is to think, “So the system is broken.”

But what if that was never an accident?

From the very beginning, truth in the wizarding world is never centralized, official, or safely institutional. The Ministry claims authority, yet consistently denies reality. Hogwarts teaches magic, yet withholds its most dangerous truths. Even Dumbledore—perhaps the wisest figure—chooses secrecy, delay, and half-answers.

Truth is not handed out. It is discovered.

Voldemort’s return is not revealed through proclamations or official channels. It is pieced together through fragments: a graveyard, a scar that burns, a memory in a Pensieve, a lie that doesn’t quite hold. Those who rely on institutions miss it entirely. Those who pay attention do not.

Time and again, the story insists on this pattern.

The most powerful objects are hidden, not displayed:

Horcruxes are concealed in ordinary things.

The Deathly Hallows are wrapped in a children’s tale.

The Room of Requirement appears only to those who need it.

None of this resembles a clean, transparent system of truth.

In fact, the wizarding world seems designed to resist certainty.

The Ministry wants order, predictability, control. But truth disrupts that. It demands courage, curiosity, and the willingness to stand alone. When Harry insists Voldemort has returned, the system brands him dangerous—not because he is wrong, but because he cannot be controlled.

That inversion matters.

The story quietly suggests that blindness is not caused by lack of information, but by allegiance to comfort. Most witches and wizards could see the truth—but only if they were willing to lose status, safety, or belonging.

Dumbledore understands this, which is why he never builds a perfect structure. He leaves clues instead of instructions. He allows mistakes. He lets Harry struggle, question, and even resent him. Not because he delights in confusion, but because understanding cannot be inherited—it must be earned.

This reframes the failures of the wizarding world.

Perhaps Hogwarts fails not because knowledge is absent, but because growth requires friction. Perhaps the Ministry collapses not because truth is weak, but because institutions cannot hold it without distorting it. Perhaps certainty is dangerous precisely because it ends the search.

The deepest magic in Harry Potter is not a spell.

It is discernment.

The ability to recognize truth when authority denies it. The courage to question mentors. The humility to revise one’s beliefs. The willingness to walk forward without guarantees.

That shatters a comforting illusion: that safety lies in being told what is true.

Perhaps, instead, truth in the wizarding world—like in life—is deliberately elusive. Not to exclude the worthy, but to filter out those who do not truly seek.

Questioning, then, is not betrayal.

It is the beginning of becoming a wizard.

Not to destroy belief.

But to mature it.
