As the saying goes, "You only live once". With that, after being a witness for 15 years it was just time to move on to something else.
Yes I believe the witnesses DO NOT have the ultimate truth as they believe they do, which helped in my decision to move on. But living the typical witness life there is literally countless number of things you cannot or are not allowed to do.
Yes, at one point in my life living this way was very advantageous, it was something I probably needed as a young man. Discipline, schedules, responsibility, decent companions. But now I just need something much more than this life. It has worn out its welcome. It no longer serves its purpose. It is time to find much more in life than the predictable, hum-drum lifestyle. I believe there is much more in life than going to meetings, having thousands of people knowing every move you make, getting up early and putting a suit on Saturday and Sunday mornings for the rest of my life and list is very long.
Please don't blame me, I just outgrew the truth.
Did anyone else feel this way?
