success after Jws

how many here feel that their lives have became better and more successful since they left the org.?.

my life has truly turned 180 degrees...been blessed since i left.. i will not go into details but i am happier, don't have regrets, and there is not any guilt feelings to deal with.

Well - its a bit early as I only read Ray Franz and Carl Olaf. . . .about two months ago and now have a great sense of freedom sometimes approaching any kind of religion for an equal discussion at last

Lots of this is due to my lovely partner who is not with me as she lives in Canada (I live in Bournemouth UK) and like me has been so relieved that I have now discovered the real truth She was not a Wtiness but began to study before she suddenly found all the Ex JW Internet sites

Although I've been a competent musician for absolutely years its only in the last month that I've suddenly found the 'get up and go' (with a lot of encouragement from Kasandra) to get regular bookings (I'm a one man band)

But I FEEL so differently and am sure it will eventually have a beneficial effect

Looking Back, Were You a JERK as a Witness???

well, were ya?

Was I? Reallly? A jerk?

Most witnesses found me a bit difficult as I dispensed with the magazines at the front doors and just went to have elongated discussions, discovering about the householders rather than anything the other way round I got a reputation for getting 'stuck on a door' with the other witnesses who invariable had to come back and tell me where they were going for tea as they'd finished the map and I was still discussing Also I used to encourage three way conversations which was really frowned upon It was at this time that I really began to enjoy the field service

And I used to say some difficult things when responding at the hall which some people took me to task over and my interpersonal humour - poking too much fun at the JWs and/or myself in a social setting wasnt found to be to be too funny

But - no generally I was only a jerk to witnesses
