Congratulations! You have demonstrated in very real terms that people can recover and have a real life after leaving the wts. I didn't start building a real life until I was 40 -- no education, (college was bad you know), no consistent experience (we moved constantly) and too many years of thinking poverty was some kind of virtue. It is tough, but oh soo sweet when success comes. Good for you!

I've heard that once you leave the truth you become an alcoholic, criminally insane, drug abusing Satan worshipper. Guess that rumour is wrong...LOL. Congrats and good luck!

congrats Uzzah...
Bethel's lost is the rest of the world's (us included) gain. WT = LOSERS Let's just hope they keep losing talent such as yourself.
I am curious to what (more specifically) you are doing now but that is something for a PM....
good luck with the election...

A very warm, heartfelt congratulations to you Uzzah!
I agree, it is exciting to realize, after so many years of hearing we are all undeserving specks of dust, that we have worth and can experience the reward of giving true and direct assistance in the world we live in.
People are so beat down as JW's, that they arrogantly think everything they do is special, when really, they contribute nothing.
Congrats again, and good luck in the election. You will do an awesome job!

Congratulations Uzzah
Those of us who have struggled in mid-life to make up for years of wasted talent and lack of education know how difficult and hard-won it is to turn things around. It makes success all the sweeter when it comes!
You get my vote!

Scarred for life
Congratulations, Uzzah! I know what you mean about struggling to realize that we are more than undeserving specks of dust. That is so drummed into us as JWs. You seem to have really healed and totally moved on with your life. I admire you. You deserve great things.
