in the months or years since leaving the organization, how do you think you have progressed as a person?.
(or if you have regressed too i guess?).
what aspects of personal development are you happy with?.
Just had to find my own sense of morality as opposed to that as presented by the WTBTS.
Cult followers and drug addicts have one thing in common in particular: Their maturation and personal growth are suspended while they are partaking.
Ex's and leavers take a while to catch up.

Ah..memories..
the congregation shuffle rolls on in bristol england, and a cool £1million is to be made for watchtower britain.. bristol - hengrove has been disbanded as of may 2018 and is now merged into one of the prime real estate parts of the city in an area called clifton, with bristol-redland congregation of jw's.
the hall is an old victorian building, bought and paid for by redland since the late 1940's, although since then, bristol has seen expansion up until the 1990's to about 12 plus congregations in about 7 kingdom halls, and then reduced to 5 kingdom halls and 10 congregations.
redland has always stood alone with one congregation in it's hall.
Must be a listed building, surely?
probably the best 45 seconds of 1966 for me.

a good friend of ours and i were chatting the other day about the difference between a zealous person and fanatical person.. what is the difference?.
why is someone praised for being "zealous" , but another person is mocked or condemned for being a "fanatical" person?.
how would jws be classed?.
Death to fanatics!

so miss america pageant is going to remove the swimsuit and evening gown parts of their pageant because they have decided it's demeaning to women.
i guess it will just be women in overcoats telling us they want world peace .... bravo, we all applaud, right?
maybe we shouldn't be so quick to do so .... what is it really saying?
We men like to look at a pretty woman. It's built into our psyche. And stays with us until old age. Isn't it great!
seems like such an obviously correct decision to overturn the previous overreach - it should never have been necessary to go to the supreme court but happened because the rights of the religious were being ignored.. as the fundamental level, no one should be able to compel you to work for them or to provide services that go against your beliefs, and certainly not have the government be able to force you to comply.. if this was allowed there would be so many unreconcilable situations that would clog up courts over nonsense.. i also have little patience for these activists that intentionally look to be offended.
it really doesn't do their cause any good to go round looking to make trouble for people.
it's also misguided because it ends up strengthening religious rights over effectively stupid issues.. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/04/us/politics/supreme-court-sides-with-baker-who-turned-away-gay-couple.html.
The religious aspect is irrelevant. Someone - for whatever reason - doesn't want to bake a celebration cake because he/she disagrees with the subject of the celebration. No big deal.

This thread is descending into whataboutery. You can prove almost anything with whataboutery! What's clear is that not supporting same-sex marriage does not make you a homophobe, although the word has now become so over-used it's virtually meaningless. It just means that you're a traditionalist when it comes to marriage and that doing anything that indicates a person's tacit approval of same-sex marriage is not for you. So you're going to give it a miss.
