So, Are YOU Better Off Than You Were A Few Years Ago In Your Life? (page 2)

Short answer.... no.

Long answer.... nooooooooooooo.

Currently df'd. Working to be back "in". I know that's unpopular here. Must do. All family is "in".

Being in spiritual, physical, and mental solitary confinement is awful.

Back to lurking.

The Who

I haven't fully left yet, but now that I am fading I have been less stressed out and happier. The mental anguish I felt if I didn't go out in service or give my all to "God's Organization" no longer exists. I am now finding friends that are not conditional towards my beliefs. I am looking forward to actually celebrating me and my wife's birthdays this upcoming year.

All around I am better off but especially with regard to being that much further away from the religion.

Whoosier: First of all welcome. Question, "in a Physical and

mental solitary confinment." Explain. I don,t know how long you

have been lurking, but there is a ton of information here. People

who has walk the path that you are going thru now. There is some

comfort in knowing you are not alone. When I came out (1987) I

really thought I was only exJW, nothing like what,s available to day.

Do what is best for you, if it is making you ill then you should think

about it.

(Welcome Whoosier)

Economically about the same. Mentally and emotionally MUCH better off. The stress of trying to live up to unattainable standards is gone. No more forcing myself to go to meetings. Wonderful to have control of my life and sleep in on the weekends. Can get in my 'jammies' after supper and relax. ahhh, life is grand -Leslie-
