post 2845 of 2845. from 12-jan-03.
birthday!.
my question for tonight is this : after leaving the witnesses do you still feel disjointed from society in general ( and i mean the human race not the wt) ?
im realizing that i still have quite a hard time in social situations where there are more than say 4-5 people .....i tend to get into a dreamy feeling state , and just basically out of it feeling .
i tend to blame it on being raised a dub .
with so many new ones, and not so new ones, its kinda hard to get to know people.
i'm just wondering, what do you like to do besides post on the jwd discussion board?.
me, during the spring - fall months like my yard & gardening.
Well when I do not work as an airline mechanic or forman, I try to be with my two sons 6 and 2 which are being brainwashed by my ex-wife which is still a dub, I also am into train simulators and love birds, I have a few of them. But drinking beer and meeting people and friends are fun too.

i am interested to know whether jw's or ex jw's on this board really did believe 100%.
did you have doubts all of the time, did you have some confusion or did you never doubt at all?
i recognise that most on this board will have had doubts at the end but was this always the case when you were a good dub?
