Min............ Bahamas are nice that time of year!!!!!!
I am so glad I am totally out. I am free to make choices that I can live with and avoid making decisions that I shouldn't have to make........like what to wear to wear to work. "oh my gosh, the dress is too short, hope the elders don't see it, especially with these go-go boots I am wearing!"

Sally, are you a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader?
My life may be a far cry from perfect, oh Mini one, but it's a lot happier than it was as a JW. I honestly don't know how I survived being a JW. That is not an overstatement either.

Liberated, thank you!
Depressed, yes, thank you! Always!
The dubs couldn't cure it, nor will anti-dubs, LOL!

Oh, Lil Bertie, doesn't your bottle cap collection or your pigeons chase the blues away?

I'm doing better than I would ever ever have imagined.
It's been a bit of a slog, at times, and I still find mud on my boots...but I'm walking again, and having a good time at it!

I'm getting better and better, and well...I think I found a great deal of resolve ol' Minimus.
Being there for other 'newbies' from the WTS, makes it all that more complete.
I'm happier generally speaking, and I'm also getting laid like crazy.
Sorry...but I couldn't resist.
Overall: excellent!

Glad to hear your handling things well Minimus. Do keep us up to date!
It's been almost a year since I wrote the Baptism Nullification Letter and sent it out to everyone I knew, and aside from some minor hic-cups things have gone very well. Emotionally I feel good, have some lady friends in my own personal fan club and work is great. My daughter is in college and doing well, ( which always makes a father happy). I love my free Sundays...I wash and clean all my vehicles and visit my folks. I travel and go to the dog track and sporting events and do what ever I wish.( Won small amounts in the Fla Lotto four times this year and win football pools all the time). I have yet to be actually shunned by anyone and talk to duds in public weekly. I do enjoy coming here and hanging out and hope I can "save" a few more of my friends from the borg. I have helped more leave than I ever brought in.
I am sure there will be more "down times" but as in my history..."These too shall pass!" Because, "Everyday above ground is a good day!" Maverick

I am happy, too. Life is pretty good when you try to keep a positive perspective. It's nice to see all my fellow apostates not just hangin' in there but also ENJOYING life!!!! Shamus, I'm glad you're on this board!

Doubtfully Yours
Haven't definitely left just yet; doing an extremely slow fade. However, feel pretty good mentally, emotionally, physically.
I've developed a network of friends at my work place, and with some community volunteer organizations.
The times I miss meetings or field service, I feel very at peace with my decision. Just love being at home, doing house work, watching some favorite TV show, or just reading a good book, or taking naps.
By my own experience, life is so much better now than having this threatning cloud of death hanging over me. That's exactly what I think meetings and field service is about, "do this or die" or "accept this as the truth or die". Man, forget that mentality! The true God is gotta be about something more peaceful than that.
I feel and act so at peace that my still fellow JWs can't explain why my so happy and positive attitude when, by WTBTS standards, I'm doing everything wrong!
The best revenge is living well and happy.
