    An online affair but not sexual yet -- smoked a liitle dope -- started playing roulette, regularly get (not drunk) but well cooked, MISSING MANY MEETINGS (I think that is a sin isn't it?) -- and of course posting on this board is certainly a sin in the WTBTS eyes

    I got to know that there's life after death! How's that?

    What's my general outlook?

    Some days, very happy.

    Other days, absolute misery and crushing despair.

    Most days, some of both.

    I am much much much happier. No guilt..............no feeling that I should be doing more. As for hope,....................I have not a clue what will happen after my death. It doesn't really concern me in the slightest.

    All I know for sure is "this is the REAL life" and I am going to live it and have fun and do all I can to help others live their lives completely, especially my loved ones. As my buddy Joy says, "the law of love" is the way to live. She exemplifies it, and I am trying.............getting better, but the Pharisee in me rears it's ugly head from time to time.

    2 soon to be ex-Witnesses visited me today and the wife mentioned that suffers no panic attacks or guilt since they have stopped going to meetings the last 6 months.

    Happy Panda and Mr.Panda love Sunday mornings together

    Since leaving and getting an education I'm definitely smarter. I'm more understanding of some things, less of others and I know when to fight about them.

    I spend loads of time on the internet (ahem ... research) and on the phone w/ friends. Making arrangements for dinner, movies, plays, lunch, getting my roots bleached, setting up tutoring schedules etc etc. I have finally filled my time with meaningful, useful, loving, and caring stuff.

    No one tells me that my animals take up too much time. Or that having a snake may stumble someone (I asked who and that I'd go talk to them, heh heh heh.)

    Out of the WTS I have freedom to breathe. And when I give someone a book or magazine I'm sure that they want to read it.
