    If sex is just an action and not mental to some, they are not having spiritual sex.

    So...Do we agree that "spirituality" is much more about mental as opposed to physical? In part at least I think we do.

    It means you dislike going to church. That's pretty much it, otherwise, they're fairly close to being the same.

    Great thread!

    Being spiritual means you don't have to follow a laid-out dogma; rather, you can use your own mind and free will.

    Like, when I got disfellowshipped. The moment I heard the news, a deep feeling of serenity --- peacefulness --- calmness washed over me. It was a feeling I had never experience all the years of being in the cult. In that moment I felt such a strong connection to ... something ... that I just knew I would be okay without the jdubs. I anchor myself to that feeling, knowing leaving the jws was a vital step forward in my growth.

    I believe that is an example of spirituality...Had to share...
