What Happens After You Leave?
by Cold Steel in

2. beliefs
i'm not a witness, but i have to ask..... what happens after you leave?

do you turn against all religion or do you find another?

people say they're happy when they leave...that they feel free, but i'd hate to think that people give up on everything religious.. if you do stay religious, how many doctrines of the jws do you retain?
