  I quit!

  First let me say I like this format on the JWN. Very cool!

  I was thinking about Slimboyfat's topic about the void of not having a meeting to go to on Tuesday nights. This reminded me of when I first left the Watchtower I had a void in me where I felt like I should be telling people something and I really didn't have anything to say anymore. I guess I was so programmed to having answers for everything and a need tell them to everyone I met I was lost when I didn't have answers to give to people anymore. Did anyone else feel this way?

  I felt EXACTLY that way,from the age of seven,for fifty years I was a preacher,door to door,street(before street work was pushed,at one time I was the only one in my congo on the street) and informally.

  I felt guilt at not doing it at first,I found myself though pleased to say what I did now believe in to Mormons etc.that I came in contact with.

  At present I feel no guilt with my position of "always ready to give a reason for my faith" but rarely actually doing so, apart from to my Wife who is starting a fade.

  I can count my time with her though coz she is an unbaptised apostate.

  Love
