    Sherry!!! I love you, too, hon!!! I am very very blessed, I know that, and life is good. Like you, I've gotten used to being eccentric..........and love to see people's looks when I say or do something unusual............lol..........the other day, one of our managers, who happens to be only 28 years old and a love, looked at me and said: "my god, HOW old are you?" When I told him 49 plus a few months, he looked shocked and said: "and not ONE wrinkle!" I simply smiled and said I had inherited good genes from my women ancestors........although, it may be the men too.........I had an Aunt, Kat, who died at 102 years of age..........that would be cool, to live to 100 or over.........quite an accomplishment.............

    Men or women, we were all prisoners of tyrannical JW expectations which are out of sink with human nature. The more you let go of others expectations the more freedom you enjoy. Best wishes honey, enjoy your freedom.

    Your statement illustrates why I feel so bad for the 20- to 30-year-old posters here who are agonizing about how to get out of the JWs/WTS without hurting anyone. They don't yet realize that it's just about impossible to do something of that magnitude without hurting someone, and most of the people they're afraid of hurting have no qualms about hurting them.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you for this thread. I think I just got five years back from my life!
