  It does take a lot of effort to stay or become a good JW. That's why most JWs are always feeling guilty.

  I'm thankful for every new day I live my new life - I don't feel guilty, I don't feel like a hypocrit, I can enjoy my life the way we were created to enjoy it. No more working to impress some God that I didn't know. Ah life is so good. It's like when you are truly free you breathing a different kind of air. I've never known true true joy & freedom until I left.

  Man you got me smiling - LIFE IS GOOOOOOOOD

  Honesty

  The Pharisees did it. The WT thugs do it. It's called spiritual abuse and is a trademark of religious blackmailers and thieves.

  Does this sound familiar? "But where else can we go?"

  28 “Come to Me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 All of you, take up My yoke and learn from Me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for yourselves. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
  Matt 11:28-30

  Like Smokey said "I second that emotion", the guilt is gone, happy days are here . A few weeks ago I was with my children at my younger one's sports game (they now participate in sports, and are loving it) on a bright and sunny saturday morning and as a joke I asked "now wouldn't you rather be out on service on such a beautiful day?" my oldest said "yeah, and share the joy of having the door slammed in our faces", we laughed hard at that one! Saturday mornings are now actually productive and enjoyable. But we are still undercover at this point because of family and freinds, although with last weeks watchtower brainwashing study, I don't know how much longer I can stand it, then there's the songs, my husband told me that when it's time to sing I should just go to the bathroom, because I can barely force the words out, well, let the fade continue.
