  1) I am glad I had the courage to live my life true to myself and not the life others expected of me.

  2) I am glad I had the courage to express my feelings.

  3) I am glad I let myself be myself.

  4 ) And I hope I have so many days, and years to live those thoughts, because surely the most wonderful thing about having left our " watchtower death bed" is to start living?

  In my case at 50 !!

  But the important thing is when we leave, to start living.

  Any experiences worth sharing?

  Exact same boat - fading now - hard of course because of family.

  But I want to be able to say all those things too.

  So many doors have been closed, trying to kick open one or two new ones.

  I want my final words to reflect the biggest lesson from our experience. Never surrender your soul, your freedom to men. No man has special knowledge . Life is precious. Make the most of it. At my funeral, I will play the song "The Garden" from Rush which has become my motto in life. In fact, that entire album is about a man who is swept into organized religion, then discovers TTATT. Sad album. Then it concludes with The Garden which brings tears to my eyes every time I think of it.

  Brandnew I love the explicit video, but as a witness even under my dead body I would never have watched such a video. (Ok only in secret)

  Anyway for any lurking Jehovers Witnesses, I am sure you realize the fun stories of leaving and the accomplishments achieved were by a few lucky, unprincipled apostates, otherwise you will be extremely cross.

  I would say "welcome everyone here, I've asked you to come because as you know, I only have a few hours left to live and I wanted to tell you something very important'.

  "You are in a F@cking Cult!"

  Or as Stan Laurel said on his death bed:-

  Stan. " I'd rather be skiing than doing this "

  Nurse " I didn't know you skied Mr Laurel"

  Stan " I don't, but I'd rather be doing that than doing this"

  I guess I won't know who the King of the North and King of the South were until I wake up again.
