for me it was meeting and marrying my current husband (who had once studied for the catholic priesthood).. the second best thing was having an affair during my first marriage (to the bethelite).

he said "oh, this is all wrong.

you have to get out of your marriage, and you have to get out of your religion.".

OK, here I am again - late at night, when I mostly lurk these days.

LouBelle, I was surprised to find you on my thread. I have been reading about you in some recent threads, and so, I just want to say hi. My positive thoughts go your way.

I thought about another thing that was a wonderful thing that happened in my life after I checked out last night.

I was pondering this website and how much it helped me to find peace in my decision to leave WTS. I actually left a long time ago, but always had nagging questions and doubts about my decision. Coming here fully convinced me that the WTS is not "the truth", never was. That conviction has been invaluable to my peace of mind and closure.

so #4) JWN. Pretty good ranking.

No spin.

I was having an affair and did not want to be disfellowshipped.

I disassociated instead.

No regrets. Never looked back. It was 1976.

So glad for you WH. I can only imagine what it is like to have a beloved child. WT spoiled my chances as I had bought into the dogma hook line and sinker and thought it would be ill-advised to have children before the new system of things. I pioneered instead.

Much joy to you and your family.

The third thing was meeting my best female friend who supported me through it all.
