Ps capblithering, i bet it seems impossible to leave and life will never change.....
Today a JW came into my clinic, I am working near an old hall of mine. Someone I knew well, not seen for at least 7 years, anyway they were sent to my clinic. I examined, diagnosed and refered to specialists, prescribed some treatment, kept it pleasant but very professional.
As I work in my old locality, I taste my old life in various ways daily. But today was my first direct JW interaction, someone I knew well. Being back here is a stark reminder of how far i have come and how stationary some people have remained.
sometimes you have to make hard desicions, go out and face the world alone, leave much behind... To go forward and find real truth and comfort. It is a very satisfying feeling to feel content, happy, proud of ones hard work, but most of all knowing you are finally honest with yourself and your beliefs, wow its a good feeling.
Don't wait too long, its a short life and the clock ticks quickly.... but for now, I wish you as little distress as possible. If you ever need some help or a chat drop me a pm ;)
