yes i believe the witnesses do not have the ultimate truth as they believe they do, which helped in my decision to move on.
it's as if we had one foot chained to a post and could never get more than a few feet away from it.
That's a very good analogy willyloman. The gb really does keep its members chained to that "post" through any means they can, particularly fear and guilt.

Yeap, Micheal, I like you have also outgrown organized religion. No bitter feelings, though, like so many here have. Had lots of fun while it lasted, still have some fun once in a while, but quite frankly the happiness outside of it far outweighs whatever it is inside.
Yes I do have a few bitter feelings considering the way my "friends" have totally ignored and shunned me even though I am not df'ed.
But basically I had alot of good times early on but now I must, yes I have an aching to find what else life can offer me. This religion ties one down so hard that they stiffle any progress one can make as a human being.

explore
Nice word petty. Leaving the "truth" affords people the time to explore what really is out there.
Hearing the same things day after day/week after week/year after year - gets old.
Very true. I just couldn't imagine my life being this stagnant until the day I die - FORGET IT!!!
Don't go running away unless you take me with you
Pack you bags, we're going to Mars!!! - LOL
coworker: what does everyone else do?.
coworker:.

Explain to your coworker that parents will never speak to their child again if they do not want be the same religion as them.

Micheal, once you realize the truth about the troof don't you just want to run into the streets screaming "YAY"? I do all the time. It's a very liberating experience.
Az, without a doubt. That ongoing fear has been lifted and it is time to move on to something else.
That chapter in my life has ended. Time to write the next chapter.

So that means an extra day interrupted by a meeting.
Oh what a joyful week of activity

The puzzel just didn't fit did it.
That's very true. But beyond that there is much more in life to discover than living the same routine until the day I die. It was just time.

Thanks JT, I left over a year ago now. But I just got thinking that this could be one of my biggest reasons why I left, amongst other reasons.
