    I am free!

    My mental and physical health have turned around.

    I have a positive outlook on life and it is exciting now.

    My relationship with my family is so much better.

    Celebrating holidays & life with my family again.

    No longer having to go to meetings, field service or read that crap!

    Life is good!

    I can worship in beautiful cathedral with real organs and stained glass windows rather than a windowless KH.

    Men treat me with respect as opposed to being forced to submit to male headship.

    I can read books that I choose vs. having books selected for me.

    I can complain to vestry members vs. any complaint would land me in trouble.

    Interesting sermons (most of the time) vs. shoot me.

    Higher education is valued. Creative people are valued. vs. illiterate brothers

    No more to worry about the end of the world.

    No more to worry about feeling quilty for not reporting hours of field services.

    No more to feel embarrassed in public from going from house to house look for new converts.

    I don't have to feel bad about taking an interest in others ,visiting them ,helping them and have to take my tie off to do such things so the elders can't accuse me of usurping their headship (because they don't give a shit for others)

    I don't have to see and listen to another case of child molestation in the congregations

    I don't have to watch the successful business elders parade their mock humility and yet roll up at the KH with the latest expensive Lexus

    I don't have to watch absolute dicks grovell for "priveleges " and promotions

    And yet I miss the genuine friends I had there ,sad really only wish I could wave a wand to open their eyes

    My freedom to choose.

    No more boring meetings.

    No more angry feelings while I sit and do what.......listen. done with that.

    I choose how and when I praise God......My way. Not as a drone.
