just wanted to share a bit of positive and hope with you. For anyone out there who feels like things are never going to be right in life because of the effects of the WTS...............don't feel helpless or lost. Look for the light and joy in life, it is there. Time is a great healer and allow people who can assist in your healing to touch your life.

Thanks for the encouragement... some times it's tough and other times it's just fine. I guess that goes with the territory. That's great advice!

The kids are living their lives, making their mistakes etc, but I'm there for them enjoying a relationship with them and loving them no matter what.

Isnt that what it's all about? :)

I'm so glad to hear you're doing so well Bliss. Thanks for your wonderful post. You offer great advice. I wish someone would have been around when I left to tell me that in time things would get better, instead of having to it out the hard way.

*muha*

you've brought a smile to my face this afternoon

Good to hear Bliss, I'm happy for you!!! I'm happy for all of us who have made it, and your story is a wonderful example that life can be good.

Look for the light and joy in life, it is there. Time is a great healer and allow people who can assist in your healing to touch your life.

The kids are living their lives, making their mistakes etc, but I'm there for them enjoying a relationship with them and loving them no matter what. I go to birthday parties and celebrate mine and my family's. I have dinners, go to the movies, enjoy the company of my friends, am free from judging my 'associations' and I just accept people. I don't worry about how I'm using my time and how I view money

I think that demonstrates one of the biggest benefits of leaving the jws. Relationships often prosper because the previous conditions (strict adherence to wts teachings, a certain amount of hours in field service, etc) no longer need to be met in order to enjoy one another's company.

Also, we begin to look at simple activities (like going to a movie) as something that we need not fear because we'll somehow be 'wrongly influenced' by what we watch, and we need not fear association with good and decent people simple because they may not share our religious views.

This is good news and very positive indeed. Good post!

Dear Bliss,

What an appropriate shortening of your screen name!

Thanks for the cheer and good update!

It reminded me of the gratitude I should be feeling too for the changes in my life. Briefly, 5 years ago:

I was still in the Borg
I had cancer and was undergoing chemotherapy
I had major family problems

Poof! None of that today! Thanks for the reminder and congratulations on your life too!

Big Hugs and

Pat
