I will continue to attend meetings. Being out for the past year, I've changed in a lot of ways. I'm less judgemental and I want to live a life that I can be proud of. I began a new career, made friends outside of the congregation, and grew as an individual. When I left, my identity was tied to the organization. Now, I'm going back on my terms and don't feel guilty about such things as having "worldly" friends or pursuing talents that God has given to me. T. he feeling of community and being around generally good people is the reason I'm going back. My family is in, and objectively speaking, most people attend religious services for the feeling of community. I have made and will continue to make a conscious effort to avoid gung-ho people in the congregation. I have always been drawn to more progressive, open, and accepting Witnesses.
Thank you, jwfacts and Fernando for your input.
