    Thanks " twise shy" and maybe everybody isnt doing it. But i think its a really " wild thing" that so many like us have. And in my exsperience there were so many lessons to be learned from my Watchtower days: But those lessons have only really been learnt having left, and now i can either cringe in shame or laugh at the stupidity of my former beliefs and behaviour.

    Anyway thanks to the internet it has now been proved beyound all doubt that the Watchtower is not Gods soul channel, which is great and maybe someday like us somesday " Everybody" will be able to enjoy the cool summer evnings free of the Watchtower.

    Anyway "New Hope and Happiness " for everyone., someday. maybe. possibly. Well maybe not but at least people can make more informed choices with the internt publically exposing the " truth" of the organisation.

    More experiences Welcome they make positive reading.

    @ wild thing- Yes, no other personification to date has summed up my feeling of freedom as complete as the Reading Rainbow butterfly.

    NHH- I know, right. I sat there today feeling so sorry for the ones still there. I thought I was lost when I left and boy now can I really see how lost I was, as they still are.

    Your thread title is not very informative or eye catching (Everybody's doing what??) - but your OP is very interesting. Give your thread the title it warrants. Go for specific and arresting titles. And if you don't get as many hits as you'd like, that's just the way it goes sometimes. You win some and you lose some.

    Thankyou for the advice steve2, i appreciate it and i get your point about " interesting titles". If i have any personal problems or impossible problems i will P.M you if your consultation fee is reasonable. :-)

    Anyway another great bonus about leaving the Witnesses is i have so many free evenings. I am already looking forward to tuesday evening which used to be taken up with the ministry and a silly meeting, but now i am deciding whether to take out:-

    a) my wife.

    b) my secretary.

    c) my girl friend.

    well its fun thinking what to do with these free evenings, even if its only dreaming..

    We're doing it!

    I left in Nov 2013, still deprogramming. Very happy not to be going to the RC this year.

    My daughter left in March 2013, and is engaged now.

    Yup..

    Walked out the week before the 2013 memorial. Deprogramming going very very well. Do I miss any aspect of it? No. How can you miss what is not real.

    Any regrets? Only a few. That I allowed the Witness 'education program' to utterly destroy any possible faith in any and all other religions, religious teaching or lifestyles and that they have single-handedly all but entirely caused me lose faith in the Bible itself and didtance me from God himself.

    That I allowed their system of thinking to cause me to hold off on getting married and having children. There is the possibility that the second part can shortly be remedied.

    That is so sad, I hope you can remedy it. You are a talented young man, I am sure you will be fine. Kate xx

    Well i think this has been a very lovable and positive thread, it shows religion can suck but individuals can lighten the hurt inside and support each other.

    Yes i believe individuals are winning the war against the Watchtower, just keep smiles. Smiles and laughter, New Hope and Happiness that is my attitude.Anyway thats how i won my personal war with the Watchtower.

    Yes, gone are the days when the main ones leaving the organization were victims. Now people leave and get a life worth living.
