Bliss ,
I forgot to say "you've been missed!"
Rocketman, you said:
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.
Brilliant!
Love to all,
Pat
