  what a roller coaster it has been lately.

  no way i would want to manage our investments.

  leave it to the brokers and try to ignore it.

  My $.02

  Don't buy individual stocks.

  Do buy good track record equities-based mutual funds.

  Stay in it for the long haul, and don't worry about the roller-coaster.

  You'll probably be wealthy when you retire.

  I did consider myself an atheist for quite some time after leaving the WTS. It was the only logical conclusion based on emperical evidence alone, as many of the above posters have cited. That said, I have come to realize that their is some value in the concept of faith. Without getting into too much detail, a level of faith maintains sanity. There is a HUGE difference between fundamentalist beliefs, (= belief that theBible or any other holy book is technically accurate), and spirituality. When one learns to think in these terms it is far easier to "bridge the gap" when faced with religious inconsistencies. It is VERY difficult for an ex-jw to think like this. The concept of spirituality has always been tied to having "all of the answers", to a jw. One has to learn to get beyond that way of thinking if they want to consider alternatives to atheism.

  it's only my third day here so, go easy on me.

  lol.. seriously, my new doubts have made it harder and harder to go in service.

  a few months ago, when a new month rolled around, i realized that i hadn't actually gone in service at all the previous month.

  dear all,.

  those of you who have posted here regularly for the past four years have helped me immensely in my recovery from watchtower and have shared with me in my journey.

  you will also know that, after winning my battle with watchtower (save for one daughter who is still stuck fast in the org and shunning the rest of us), i have been fighting an even greater battle these past three years - cancer!.

  Jag,

  I consider myself lucky to have an education because of a very liberal dub "big brother", about your age, who forced me to go to college, even though the borg was dead against it stil in 1991. If I can offer any advice back to someone, it's that they are never too old to go to school, learn something you like doing, and DO it. You'll be much happier in the end.
