They are doing wonderful. Thriving in fact! I put 'girl' in ( )'s because they were not my girlfriends. :-) We hung out with mutual friends...and were at "get-togethers" together. One was a pioneer and the other a 'strong' rank and file (always at meetings, last min tms list, underlined Wt etc, reg on sat svc...you know what I mean.) They are both in their 30s now...and the kind, if you were to know they would ever be out, you'd be in disbelief.
They have good friendships now, real friends. They have happy lives. They are involved in community service (real service) They are just really good people, and I am proud that they have made a life away from JWs. Good for them, and good for all of you, who are moving on with your life.
It gives me hope, that one day I can live a normal 'rest of my life' and not worry about Jahs wrath. (I say that tounge-in-cheak) The only thing I am convinced of now is that what will happen will happen, and I can't change it. All I can do is work at being a good person. These two girls gave me some refreshing hope that there is a good life out there with all the "evil" worldly people. (lol)
(Im still in for family, if you are wondering....I have my rank and file wife on a 5 year plan for fading, although she doesn't know it ;-)
take care and peace out (oh crap that's mr. flippers line)
