好久没有跟大家聊天了。

此刻我正在大洋的另一边,天空下著小雨,屋里灯光昏黄,边码著字边等著烧水壶把水烧开,再泡一杯咖啡。

不知不觉离开耶证一年有余了,这一年的时间里,我和我的同学们做了一部关于耶证的纪录片,正在完善中,希望有朝一日可以放到网上来。当地的反耶证群体大力支持我们的行动。

我的情况没什么好说的,说说我了解到的国际友人们,离开耶证后都过得如何吧。(我的翻译不算词对词,是根据语境给的大致翻译。)

离开耶证的大家,都是好样的!

  1. 这位小哥说:"My parents said my dream is delusional and I will starve if I leave the religion. Today, I fulfilled my 8 years long dream of becoming a full time Disney employee."

翻译:我爸妈说我的梦想是不切实际的,并且我离开这个教会就会饿死。如今我已达成我的梦想8年时间了——成为迪士尼的全职雇员。

2. 这位姐说:」No better time for a face reveal I guess - today is my first day of school!「

翻译:今天是我上学的第一天!真的是最棒的时刻!

3. 这位哥说:」My first ever birthday cake. I think the smile says it all.「

翻译:我的第一个生日蛋糕,通过我脸上的笑容你可以知道我过得如何。

4. 他们说:"We started a tradition that we are calling "Worldly Wednesday". Every Wednesday we eat a different ethnic food and we enjoy each other』s company and celebrate the fact that we』re 「worldly.」 Being worldly used to have a negative connotation to us.. but we feel like we are living our best lives. "

翻译:我们每周三都去享受一个「世上的周三」。每周三我们吃来自不同国家的食物并且和彼此拥有一个好的时光。我们庆祝我们如今「世上的生活」。但是这并不是一件消极的事情。我们觉得这是我们到现在为止过的最好的生活。

5. 他说:"Today I celebrate 18 months JW free. What a journey it has been."

翻译:今天我离开耶证整整18个月了。看看我过得如何?

6. 他说:"Once upon a time, two fifteen year old kids met in high school and fell in love, only to have a religious cult split them apart. Six years later, the cult is gone and in some strange way, they ended up back together again :) Never give up guys. The universe works in mysterious ways."

翻译:曾经,两个15岁的青少年在高中相爱了。宗教(邪教)将他们分开。6年后,邪教离开了,他们又在一起了。希望大家都不要放弃。冥冥之中缘分将人相连。

7. 她说:"Im a female from Mumbai, India. Got disfellowshipped barely a month ago. Went on a camping trip with a friend to northeast India (Meghalaya) , and smoked some locally grown pure weed!"

翻译:我来自印度,一个月前被会众开除了。我现在和朋友在印度东北部野营,闻到了附近种子生长的味道!

8. 这位帅哥说:"2 years ago, I was disfellowshipped. Now Im the CEO of a software development company and live a happy life."

翻译:两个年前我被开出了,现在我是一个软体开发公司的CEO,我过得很开心!

9. 中间这位哥说:"Please be careful of the dangers of higher education, I fell for the trap and all I got was an education, critical thinking skills, sense of self worth and efficacy"

翻译:请大家小心高等教育的危险。我落入了陷阱,我得到了教育、理智思考的能力并实现了自我价值。

10. 最后这位哥上过《警醒》杂志,他说:"From being in an Awake! to being fully awake. 3 years ago today I was sitting in a makeup chair getting ready to have my picture taken."

翻译:三年前,我坐在化妆凳上等著拍照。我的照片被放在了《警醒》杂志上。如今,我从邪教中「醒了」。
