    Only because I do believe in a Creator -who I believe is Jesus Christ ( laying flat on the floor so your rocks wont hit me LOL)

    Mouthy,

    I believe in a creator, too. How could anyone throw rocks at you anyway? You look like a much prettier, more feminine Mrs. Doubtfire. Wow, your husband wouldn't let you drive? What a.....uh, can't say that here. Three children lost? I can't imagine that kind of pain. I bet everyone does come to you for mothering. You just give off those comfort vibes. Wish I lived closer to you. I'd love to meet you.

    to be in control of my own mind. to think with out feeling guilty, I alway also act extra happy when I see a dubber because as it was posted before, It drives them nuts. my wifes father has not talked to me for over 5 years because he quit general moters and moved to north michigan around 75 because the end of the world is at hand, he had a small body shop in his gradge and bearly made ends meet. he even would take my wifes baby sitting money to help pay the mortgage. and I have focoused on saving and investing even when I was going to the hall. now I am many times better off than he is and it drives him nuts. also he would go around and sat I am never going to die. well he is 66+ years old. and it is stareing him in the face. so it does drive dubbers very nuts because they want their cake and eat it too, but cant. I still have many issues with the dubbers, but I do dwell on it less than I used to. It also helps to vent on this site.

    I was a dub for many many years, and even when I was at my "best" as a witness (out every weekend, studies, public talks, yadda yadda yadda) deep down inside I never never thought I was gonna "make it" through armageddon anyway. Doubtless the rampant depression and the like is the all too common side effect of this fear that many still in have. I am much happier. I am not constantly worried about my FS time. I am not worried if some bible study is just using the situation to prey on friends for money etc. I go to the gym three nights a week. And those used to be two of my meeting nights and one night that was "bible study" fridays. Now looking back I wonder how I survived it all and kept some semblance of sanity. I just want to thank you all for your comments and thought provoking questions, your research, kind words and even the healthy bantering. Cheers, Taz

    I have had more blessings than I could ever count since I became free from the bondage of the organization of JW's. The biggest blessing of all of course having been disfellowshipped. It makes me want to dance for joy everytime I think about it.

    1. Finding myself, the ability to think for myself, getting the confidence to have an opinion that wasn't given to me.

    2. Unconditional love from my fiance, daughter, and friends.

    3. Reconnecting with my "worldly" family...having them receive me unconditionally and love me the same way.

    4. Being free to try everything and anything I want to do with no limits! (I try to be good )

    There's a boatload. But I am picking these 5. 1. Reading lots of non-WT material 2. Finding out there is no Satan 3. Finding out worldly people are generally good folk 4. Having more time for myself 5. Not having to witness to people about something that was basically embarassing

    My one blessing is freedom. From anything. Knowing I am a free adult and I can think, do, and feel as I want. That is all the blessing I need.
