I remember walking between two university buildings for a lecture. It was a sunny day, warm, big blue sky. I was surrounded by a few hundred students all crossing the road. Something struck me and I had to stop myself and take it in. It was a real lightning strike moment....
I had left the JW's about 5 years before and felt very distanced now.
i looked around and it came to me very quickly, the world is not getting worse, the world is not a bad place to be, it's getting better. I dawned on me that for some years now I had not had the repeated ear bashing that the world was an awful place soon destined for destruction, and the b.s. had worn off..... I liked this world.
Weird I know, maybe even a little cheesy....but that's how it happened.
