Golf--------GREAT TOPIC
I, personally look back at my jw lifestyle and marriage--(thinking--'what a waste of life and time--I was truly existing'--not getting any real pleasure out of life).I am glad I was able to get out w/out the major emotional and personal fallout that some have to endure. It is refreshing to hear from so many here that have learned to grow and learn by being self sufficient in terms of running their OWN life and taking accountability for their actions.I truly came alive 6 years ago and have never had deeper friendships, love, and insight.I actually appreciate being a witness for a time---not because of what they are or do, but because at THAT time, at that STAGE, that is what I choose to live by. The fact that I came out of it is secondary. It is hard to learn about life by making bad decisions, but sometimes that is neccesary to grow in a deeper, more intense way. It is great to meet people, regardless of economic or social status, that truly love LIFE, PEOPLE, and actually EMBRACE the challenge that life brings. Man--if I keep rambling, I am going to format my sermon in a 45 min. format for the 2nd half of Sunday -- LOL
