How rebellious did you get after leaving?

    I never did anything while I was still in. In fact followed the rules very closely. When I finally left my mother had died and I was finally free from my abusive stepfather. Bad combination for self-destruction.

    Got in with a bad crowd and was drinking it up, smokin' weed, cigarrettes, very explorative sexually. Never became a criminal or did hard core drugs and after a short time of the wild life, got married.

    Took me awhile to get angry at the org and realize it wasn't the truth so things like voting and community work and college came later.

    Now I lead a very good life and take care of myself well. Have positive goals and outlook on life. Currently on a spiritual journey and exploration which is what led me here.

    no rebellion at all: I did'nt left at a particular moment.

    After the dead of my mother, I did'nt like to go to the Hall (she was the one who always WANTED to go) and after a few weeks of no going, I loved my extra FREE time, besides: Viv was arguing a lot with me over the borg - showing me this forum: There was no chance that I was'nt infected by her. So I simply stopped going.

    Since then: I have bought a few lottery tickets - but I think that that is my only "sin" and lost my belief in the JW Org. as far as the witnesses are concerned.

    and ofcourse, I am celebrating Christmas, exchanging cards (but I did that even when I was a dub) so I was no good at all......

    Grew my hair really, really long. Grew a beard. Got an earring. Bought a shirt that read FREE BREATHALYZER TEST -- BLOW HERE with an arrow pointing to my crotch. Showed up at my judicial hearing looking like that.

    I'm thinking of growing a beard too! I'm really tired of shaving! It's alot of work being a woman! I think a beard on a woman would be sexy. More of me to rub! LOL I think that would definately stop those JW's from calling on me!EH!

    I never have been the type to do things just to be rebellious.
    After I faded away, I just did what I wanted to, without any guilt.

    ditto. (and very eloquently said, i might add)
