Emmanuel Kant wrote this in a 1784 essay called "What Is Enlightenment?" :
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed immaturity. Immaturity is the inability to use one's understanding without guidance from another. This immaturity is self-imposed when its cause lies not in lack of understanding, but in lack of resolve and courage to use it without guidance from another. Sapere Aude! [Dare to know!] Have courage to use your own understanding! That is the motto of enlightenment."
Many of your experiences in leaving the JW's seem to be an enlightenment of sorts. Do you agree/disagree?

Feeling Vulnerable
by megs inokay... help... i'm feeling weak right now... i haven't spoken to my dub in 6 weeks, still not over him, still thinking about him far more than i should... anyway... when we were talking, he got me going to meetings (we live in diff places) and a nice pioneer lady took me under her wing.
i gave his email addy to the lady and they correspond.
so, me and the dub had a falling out when i told him all of the issues i had with the wts.

New Day, new perspective... I know all of you are right, thanks for the kind words I was having a bad day yesterday and that just seemed like the icing on the cake... In my last correspondence with her, I made clear, logical arguments over whether works were required to be saved. She never responded. Then out of the blue she is asking how I am, with no rebuttal to the points I raised. She is a lovely lady, but you are right, I'm sure there are ulterior motives. Really, I just want to know that my friend is okay, but I don't think sleeping with the enemy is the right means to an end. I do hope he'll someday wake up... To be quite fair to him, in the many years I've known him he never tried to convert me. The only reason I got into this mess was because I expressed interest. It was me and me alone.

Okay... Help... I'm feeling weak right now... I haven't spoken to my dub in 6 weeks, still not over him, still thinking about him far more than I should... Anyway... When we were talking, he got me going to meetings (we live in diff places) and a nice pioneer lady took me under her wing. I gave his email addy to the lady and they correspond. So, me and the dub had a falling out when I told him all of the issues I had with the WTS. He won't talk to me... She hadn't emailed me in weeks, I assumed he told her I was a "bad association". So today she emails, asking how I'm doing etc. I desperately want to know how he is, but I'm afraid I'll be playing with fire because I'm a bit vulnerable at the moment and I'm afraid of being sucked in to meetings again... Someone please be my voice of reason and remind me of why this would be a bad thing...
