RB I really like what you say here “Do I believe in God?? Yes, I think this is a reasonable conclusion however he may not be at all who or what we think he is.”
Yes I’m thinking on the same lines as you. There is probably a lot more to it than we humans can understand 👍

“So personally I am happier and more content since leaving. I don’t know the answers to mankind’s greatest problems but I’m not going to worry over it.”
Blues brother personally I am happier and more content since I realised that I need to become content in not knowing the truth. I don’t know the answers to mankind’s greatest problems but I’m not going to worry over it. And I like to hold onto a bit of hope that maybe just maybe the Bibles promises may come true 😀

You are wrong about official doctrine about sitting on the fence and being able to jump one side at the last minute.
Last years drama one of the prison guards in the great tribulation just jumped in last min.
about the vaccines yes billions of people have taken multiple of them, would it be best if they go on thinking they are safe and effective? Yes ignorance is bliss in this case as they can’t go back now.
if you have a dying loved one who is PIMI, would you talk to them on their deathbed about there is no resurrection hope, the Bible is wrong?

I’ve come to the conclusion that if someone is so sure they have the truth about the big questions then they are probably wrong.
Most evolutionists are so sure their theory is now fact and cognitive dissonance won’t let them consider anything else. But then many creationists are the same.
Those of us who have come to the acceptance stage where we are comfortable in the knowledge that the Bible may be right but it may not be also.
Different interpretations of the Bible may be right but they also may not be. The governing body are definitely wrong about many things but they may be just imperfect men trying to do their best and making lots of mistakes.
Once you get to this final stage that people like me are at you can be happy and have the attitude it may be true it may not be. I hope the Bibles promises come true we will see, but there is probably more to it than we think.

“I wish I had found the truth about the truth 50 or 60 years ago. I would have had different life but not necessarily happier. Still as happy with Sis England as when we first met.”
George that is my point. Yes you would have lived a different life but probably not as happy. And would you be more happy now if you stayed PIMI?
And what is the truth about the truth anyway? Are they wrong about everything or only some things? Was Jesus a real man in history for example? Of course he was so they are right about that.
The point I’m making is it’s not as simple as saying “now I’ve discovered the real truth” anyone may think that but perhaps nobody has the real truth. In that case if what you believe makes you happy maybe that’s better than believing something else that makes you have no hope and bleak outlook when even that option is probably not true either.
I think it’s better to go for the option that makes you happy

Phizzy “There is no substitute for truth and reality, living in delusion doesn't even come second.”
but don’t you think everyone says that and some believe chance as the origin of life and some totally believe intelligent design as the origin.
both groups say things like - “There is no substitute for truth and reality, living in delusion doesn't even come second.”

I will trade comfort for truth every time

Would you really though? Are you prepared to come to terms that you were wrong about what you believe? Cofty have you considered that you have been lied to about the theory of evolution? I know you are comfortable in believing this theory but how can you know it’s the truth?
what if you believed chance as origin of life for a long time then came to realise actually it must have been intelligent design as the origin of life?
would you then wish you could go back and not know what you now know?

Gorb I have to say these are very wise words-
“since being out of jw.org, i'm happy about many aspects of life, and less happy about some other subject. And try to grow, make choices, and learn from things that went wrong.”
I think many here would not be so honest with themselves

Joey you may be right, but that’s a pretty bleak no hope outlook.
If you are right then ignorance is bliss.
