I'm very happy for you! Living a good, productive, happy life is the best way to overcome having been a witness and also the best "witness" one can give to those still "in".
No "weeping and gnashig of teeth" for me either! :)

AwSnap! You are the bomb!
One word of advice though: Give them the finger and tell them not to bother coming to your house. Just allowing the visit gives them this feeling of power over you. Whenever I run into a JW or elder or anything like your sitch, I tell then, "Nah, I'm too busy to meet with you. I know where to find you if I ever need to." I always have this really sweet smile when I say it and use my sweetest sugar pie voice too.
Plain and simple. And it feels SOOOOO GOOOOOOD! It's like saying FU with a sweet voice and smile on your face.

LoL, Dagney. Yessss, I did have 2 , but I wasnt drunkie drunk. You're funny.
The witnesses have so many ways to turn and flip things around so we dont actually remember what we thought. Because of the trouble my brain cells went through during my self destructive phases, I second guessed so much. But when I was told that the UN was NEVER spoken of badly and that the brothers who enter Bethel take a tour of the UN, I almost . I absolutely, positively, remember being about 10 years old and sitting like a good girl, waiting to be called on although I didnt raise my hand, in order to announce what a harlot that DaRn Babylon the Great is.
ThinkAboutIt: hehe, Thanks. You're just sayin that because I posted my picture on here like a dumb dumb one night when I'd have more than 2
Sooner7NC.... More H-E-double toothpicks to come.
Six....WOW... that was a pleasant surprise. I actually kinda forgot that I'd posted this. But the hubby left for a bachelor party and I'm bored tonight, lol.... wow. thank you. I think you're pretty darn cool too, and I aLLLLways think of you whenever I see a Dr.Seuss phrase. Ohhhhh the places you'll go
GL.... tRUST me, I didnt say I'm over all bad habits. I'm addicted to Taco Bell and I cuss like a sailor when I'm behind slow drivers . I guess, though, the major addictions and self destructive behavior are done with
CyberJesus....lol... no, you're still fLucked.
JamieBowers, your pm and comments have really helped me heal . I have not experienced that same that you have, but I could relate to many of the things you shared.
Peaches.....for REAL.

something of rewarding joy if there were no limitations to overcome.
The hilltop hour would not be half so wonderful if there were no dark
valleys to traverse."
~ Helen KellerChangeling, I see what you're saying. I am still surrounded (though not personally) by jw's. My business has just moved into a wonderful, new location (100 x's better than my former place).... its always on my mind to set an example to anyone who needs to escape
Snowbird, you have NEVER commented on any of my posts. Whoa. I'm honored.
Zoiks, your story has definitely inspired me as well

LOL! That's kinda how it went down! Its been a few months, but basically the lovely elders told me that I was more than welcome to consider my baptism invalid....AS LONG AS I GOT RE-BAPTIZED AND ONLY THEN. Of course, there have been so many lightbulb moments, but this was yet another one. ReaLLY? JehooBa needs me to get RE-baptized in order to show that my first baptism didnt mean sQuat? Yeeeeeah, this is Soooooo the tRUTH. When the elder drove up to me and said this, I said, "ohhhh, you know, I've just moved my business & am sooooo busy. Let me get (HUBBY) to give you a call when its good for us." lol
Quirky1, Yessssss. its taken over a decade...but then again, I'm a slow learner. Seriously, DaMN, it feels REALLY good. Would I be considered an apostate if I said, "I believe you are in a cult but I have NO desire to get you out?" because we are going to a jw wedding soon and I think I may use that line
Ps...I cracked myself up when I realized that I mentioned my drug use 7 years ago, tWICE (in my initial post). I really am a smart person, but I have serious short term memory damage. hehe

RE slow drivers:
Did you ever notice that anyone going slower than you is an imbecile and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?
Don't know you but have a good life....
I moved on many many years ago.
I come here for the entertainment and occasional JW updates..not too many original poster's left on the board. A good thing I hope. Considering my post count and the length of time I have been registered on here I am considered :Inactive: lol
Snoozy..
