    First of all I would like to thank all of you for your help! I say this because I have been helped so much by the many posts that represent the way I feel about the WTBTS.

    It is good to know that there are so many people that feel this way. I am currently inactive and dont comment but do attend meetings for the sake of the family.

    My wife is still in and I have a daughter and one on the way. My veiw of life has become so much more positive now that I am not living with the fear that I may not make it into the New World, it truly gives you a new perspective being free.

    I hope that my wife will someday be able to feel this as well. We currently have spoken about the way I feel but since then I think we don't feel free to express ourselves to each other. I will try though at appropriate times.

    My whole family is in as well and that to makes it difficult to just leave, I am third generation JW.. Dad is a PO, mom is a Pioneer. I was a pioneer and in Bethel for a time (Patterson 95-96 and Wallkill 96-97 the Farm Crew in Landscaping).

    I currently live in North Florida and look forward to meeting some of you.

    Welcome Aboard MTM- Sounds like the Floridians may have some company once the colder season comes.

    Hi M-T-M !
    Welcome to the forum.
    you say you're in northern Fla. and look forward to meeting some.
    Not sure how close you are to Jacksonville but saw on here earlier a thread of some going to get together there. Just thought I'd mention it in case you hadn't seen it yet.

    Looking forward to hearing more from you,
    StoneWall
