How different are you from 10 years ago?

JH

Today, I don't fear the elders as much, and i think that they fear me more.

How about you, how has 10 years made you better or stronger?

I was in the Borg ten years ago, so there is a definite improvement right there!

Now, I feel more free to think and choose what I want to do. I enjoy every day more because I'm not waiting for some elusive "paradise."

Although I was never actually a baptized member, I studied with the organization for a while, some things I picked up for the better, some for the worse. But ultimately I found the experience similar to a book of the month club, with speeches and business meetings. The only thing missing was a semi-annual raffle and bingo night. Peace out, Creeper

I've learned the fine art of being able to say no, when its to my best interest. I choose to do or not, no longer on the basis of guilt.

10 years ago, I was 8, about to turn 9.

Pretty much everything is different now.

Especially the fact that I now get to watch Saturday morning cartoons.

Emotionally/mentally in a better condition.

Need to lose some weight though. lol

Religion crapola is behind me; I see it for what it is and have no doubts about leaving anymore.

How funny! Ten years ago Richie was 8 years old!!! That made me laugh to think of him as a little boy. I bet he felt mad back then too sometimes at the bizarro ways of the Watchtower world!

Ten years ago I was an elder's wife pining away for a different life. The monotonous routine of JW sacrificial life was killing me. I did not see how I could continue living that way.

Now, ten years later I face a handsome young new man in the morning! I live in the beautiful countryside!
I have all new friends and family! My hair is long and shiny and healthy and I wonder how I am going to do all the things I want to do! Huge difference in zeal and happiness and inner peace!

Now I am in control of my life! No printing company tells me what to do during the week and on the weekends!
No one is my mediator between me and my God anymore. I pray to him directly.

And I suffer no guilt! My conduct is entirely above board and wholesome and legal and moral. I have no reason to feel shame or feel inadequate. No one may shame me or make me feel less than!

I reject those who reject me! I have no connection or correspondence with any of my former family or friends. And they will probably never see my face again. And I suffer no regret over it all.
I am truly happy again! I look forward to life and adventure and people and love for many years to come!

Ten years ago I was preparing to leave Alaska on my way to Israel. Lots of water under the bridge, forty pounds lighter, and all kinds of material possessions that need to be shed. carmel
