    sex
    reading whatever the hell i wanted to, same with movies, tv and music
    choosing my own friends
    college
    free saturday and sunday mornings, tuesday and thursday nights
    drugs
    exploring my sexuality

    basically i looked forward to being my own person making my own decisions based on what i needed/wanted instead of having to always think of that damn borg first :)

    I look forward to being able to rest. I still work on sat, but I get paid for it. (software engineer) I made it through school as a JW, despite all the talks on how I can make a sutable living washing windows (my brother in law). Nights off will also be a blessing. Watching whatever I want, being friends with whoever I want, and being myself again. i used to play Role-playing games until i 'realized how bad they were'. I'd love not having to sneak to see the movies i'd like to see too!
    Sounds childish, i guess. But thats just it, We are treated like children

    And I thought they smelled bad on the outside!

    Freedom....
    ...to think for ONESELF
    ...to ask questions
    ...to achieve goals I've set
    ...to do what feels good
    ...to do what feels right (give blood/donate to charity/volunteer)
    ...to do what I should (actually work for a living and get an education)
    ...to VOTE
    ...to have FUN
    ...to sleep in Saturday and Sunday
    ...to make my OWN decisions
    ...to MAKE friends - not have them given to me
    ...to make friends whom I choose
    ...from the judgement of other people
    ...from senseless quotas (field service time/answers/talks)
    ...from GUILT
    ...from having to teach LIES
    ...from prying elder eyes

    No pantyhose or frumpy dress clothes.
    No meetings.
    Being able to smoke weed in my own house whenever I wanted to!
    No "holier-than-thou" stuck up witnesses
    LOUD RAUNCHY MUSIC
    my five tattoos - even my JW dad is jealous of that,
    dating (and eventually marrying) a BAD BOY with a motorcycle, of course we lived together (SEX) for a year first.
    Cursing like a sailor without looking over my shoulder first.
    and much more...
    THANK GOD FOR FREEDOM
