    but if you want labels...um...wellll....

    New Age Deist Witch, Satanic Feri Vampire Witch, Chaos Sex Witch, A Real Witch,

    basically I became what Iw as all along--a Witch.

    Ravyn (I guess the JWs were right when they burned all my toys as a child...)

    Someone already said it but it bears repeating: Myself.

    I am still growing and still becoming and I expect that will continue until the day I die. I will not lock "myself" into any label or group.

    I became way more cynical at first, but eventually I got through that nonsense.

    I became an athiest, but that was not an overnight decision.

    I became more of a humanist.

    Friendlier, community-minded, and more myself (like so many have said).

    (Spanner, love your new avatar btw).

    Free < we can all say that I'm sure.

    I became a subtle apostate, slowly working on my wife to chip away at her cult-like cage in which she and all other JWs find themselves in. Also in sending information via emails to JW friends about upcoming TV programs which deal with WTS hypocrisy. Slowly and behind the scenes doing my part the bring down the WTS.

    Pagan with a little agnostic in me

    or

    Agnostic with a little Pagan in me

    ...depends on the day...(yes that is Pagan with a big "P")

    (oops, forgot "why")

    Because that's what really connected with me all my life, and it wasn't until the lingering cultural bias that the Bible was 'really' the truth and Christianity was the 'real' religion got burned out of me by my experience with the BOrg, that I could finally go along with it.

    Courageous, and able to think for myself rather playing the game of following the leader. Its a breath of cold fresh air. I still believe their is a GOD afterall we didn't get here by chance. I just frown at organized religion

    Stand up for yourself even if your standing alone
