My hope for over 30 years was the same as many here on this site.
When I made my decesion to no longer me a JW at first I just figured that I was a goat and that I would just die at armageddon along with all the other wicked ones. Well after doing some research on the dubs and on religion in general I have come to some differnt conclusions about life,death and what might happen when you die.
I have to be honest and tell you that it has been difficult to accept the fact that any hope of any sort of life after death is very unfounded.
I have come to believe that religion is for people who cannot accept the only certainty we have in this life is that you are going to die.
My hope is that I can live this life and be able to raise my children up to be responsible and productive adults. I hope to be able to enjoy life to the fullest without the chains of religion and guilt to rule my every move.
I hope to live long enough to attend my childrens weddings as well as be there when they have there first children.
I hope to be able to lovingly steer my wife away from the dubs so we can be closer and she want always be worring about me losing my life in the end.
I hope to get more involved in causes that count.
Last but not least I hope that if there is something that happens to us at death that it is a wonderfull and enlighting experience.
