i was sunnygal41 on simon's forum, and when everything got transferred here, i could no longer log on under my old account.........but, hey, ain't that what life is all about............this thread is full of fond memories and lots of poignant memories for so many of us, i'm sure............but, LIFE sweeps us along and changes every single day..........i was again, reminded of this yesterday, when i received the news that my ex-sister in law (married to her brother, my elder husband for twenty years) had been dead for nine months of liver cancer! this has brought a whole bunch of angry, hurt feelings to the surface regarding my marriage and divorce and all the misery that surrounded it........much of this not shared with anyone, other than my mom, who although still a jw, LOVES me unconditionally. she's a brave non-conformist in her own way, and i respect the hell out of her. anyways, i'm here, i'm extremely content with my life and i continue to heal from being a jw for twenty five years.........ten years out and counting!!!

If its not the way. Which way is?
by maryacclaim ini read a lot of the topics and subjects in this forum, and can't help but to ask, if the witnesses ideas are not the way, then which way is?.
i was a witness for over 25 years and have been out of the organization for over 3 years now.
yet, i have a hard time seeing anyone else's way as the right way to go.

mary, there are many people in this world who will try to convince you that there is only one way to worship god. if there is anything i've learned since i left the jw's it's that each of us has our own path to follow in this life and it is up to the individual to find what resonates as truth for them. this is a life long journey for most of us, and we learn as we live each day of our lives. i think jimmypage made some very good points as guidance for you. take your time, enjoy your new life and enjoy the journey that IS life.
