    Hi everyone,

    Ive been logging on to the website for awhile but have only been reading.Today ive decided to extend my Hello to all of you and to thank you for helping me out in confirming a decison i shouldve made years ago. I left the J-dubs last august (by fading) and i feel so much happier in my life. I can say bless you when someone sneezes, i can go to a birthday party, put a x-mas tree up, and have sex guilt free

    Sometimes i do get a bit of anxiety but its lessened as the months have passed. Lately ive read threads saying how the organization is coming up to its end. Does anyone think they'll take the forthcoming disappearance of power as the "tribulation"? does anyone ever think it might be the tribulation and we're all wrong? silly me i know but those ridiculous thoughts sometimes still torture me. For the most part im sure ive made the right decision. Well if anyone has some helpful comments i'd appreciate it. Thanx Again

    ps: what the heck is up with e-watchman

    Hi Betty,

    It sounds like you're doing pretty well for being out for a short period of time. As far as the doubt is concerned, this is what I'd recommend: You are now free to do all these things as you said, but remember the biggest freedom you have is the freedom of your mind. The things you listed are enjoyable, but they are miniscule in comparison to a free mind. Exercise your freedom of mind fully, and in time you'll find such thoughts have no hold on you at all, if they even still exist.

    Welcome betty boop!

    I became a JW in 1964 and left in 1999, looking back I don't know why I stuck around so long. Right now I am a very happy man. Looking forward to your posts.
