After having been fourty years active and three years inactive I have decided to officially disassociate myself a few months ago from the Jehovah Witnesses' organization. Now that I have done it I have got much more respect for myself and I feel much more comfortable in my every day life and have lost the impression to be caught between two stools (je n'ai plus l'impression d'avoir le cul entre deux chaises) like the one I had during my three years of inactivity. The fact to be now 100 % outside of any religious organization gives me a clear understanding of things and people and the pride and joy not to move anymore in shady circles. Loosing confidence in a religious organization has not brought me to loose confidence in God.
But I recognize that to decide to officially disassociate oneself from the Jehovah Witnesses' organization is a personal decision that only can be taken after a careful consideration of different realities.
