    Keep up the good work and continue to baffle them since they all beleive that once you leave the "truth" you become a

    pervert, low life, depressed worldy person.

    @Quandry - Yeah. I used to live in Houston for 10 years. NEVER saw a witness "witnessing". Not even parking lots. Just those tracts stuck in phone booths.

    @Wasanelder - Because they have been blinded to the real truth, they believe what the Watchtower and GB tell them. They actually believe that EVERYONE who is in the "world" is hateful, arrogant, deceitful, etc. Of course they do. They have to believe that the "world" is nothing more than Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome or the vice-like grip "The Organization" (Doesn't that just sound like some global entity that tries to control people, like in a James Bond movie?) has on them will weaken.

    "Fade"? Really? That seems, perhaps just in my own perspective, to be along those same lines as "the Truth", "the World", etc.- a negative reinforcement of leaving their church. You're not "fading". You're growing.

    A sister once told me that she found it puzzling how I could be such a loving, caring person towards members of the congregation yet not be that bothered about spiritual matters. I was actually looking after that sister who was really ill while people closer to her were out banging on doors! Yet to her, I should have been out banging doors as well, so who was supposed to look after her?!!

    Isn't it great when we can prove the WTS wrong when it predicts anyone leaving 'Jehovah's Organisation' are doomed to lead miserable, empty lives unless they 'open their hearts to Jehovah' and return to the safety of the flock once again. The fact that years later we are seen to still be the same happy caring people we always were as dubs just isn't supposed to happen, is it.

    Hopefully just seeing us living happy fulfilled lives away from the Borg will help more concious ones to pluck up the courage and start fading (or as ex-witness says growing), themselves. Let's hope so

    I have the exact same experince.Witnesses even comment how much happier I seem in the last few years.I even have my parents praising my independence and success to the people in their congrecation when they ask how im doing.Im hoping to rub off on them as well exspecially witness youth around my age who are still living with their parents working dead end jobs.I tell them how awesome my life is and their jelous ,maybe itll help motivate them to explore their options.
