Hi Dawn,You really hit the nail on the head about knowing what is really the "truth". We ex-JWs know it is possible to be completely fooled, something that alot of mainstream Christians have never experienced. I think for all of our pain this is a great advantage because, for most of us ex-JWs, our confidence/arrogance levels are at least modified for the rest of our lives into a healthier humble skepticism where I would be very reluctant to force someone to accept a belief or be willing to hurt or kill to convince someone I was right. I am now content to openly debate about philisophical disagreements in a friendly manner because I know I have been wrong before. I think the most dangerous people in the world are those who believe they can't be wrong. I have strong opinions but not a die hard commitment beyond all other considerations. The World is huge and complex and there are no simple answers in black and white for me anymore. I'm still an arrogant bastard but now I'm not willing to be 100% on any idea ever again.
