I resent the implications that are attached to it by the organisation.On a spiritual sence it means nothing to me.

I was never baptized as a JW. But it means nothing.

I am no longer a JW but I still regard myself as a spiritual person. I am not sure where that spirituality will lead me and I don't practice any religion at present.
I got baptised before the change of vows, I didn't regard my baptism as identifying me as one of JWs, so I regard my baptism of over 40 years ago as the start of my spiritual journey.

Mine meant I was a smart little 10 year old who could give the right answers to the questions in the old "Lamp" book, and that I was desperate for the approval of my parents and friends.

It doesnt mean anything to me because the premise it was based on has been proven to be
lies.

well, I wanted to be MS, so I got baptized, then 2 years later, I was appointed MS. Well, you can say that I was brainwashed back then.

That you are supposed to just plain give up your right to be happy, and live solely for that Almighty Lowlife Scumbag that makes everyone else miserable.

At the time I thought it meant I finally belonged somewhere. That I was finally part of the "in" club.
Now it means only that it was a part of my life that I will never go back to.
And I am glad to be out of that "in" club
