Jourles	Re: The "New Personality"
	Ditto Walter.  During my phase as a hard-core jdub, I was always the easy going, get-along-with-everyone, type of dub.  Once I started finding out the truth about the truth, I noticed my personality started to migrate towards anger and hatred.  After a few years passed and I became more knowledgeable about the org, I drifted back into my very easy going manner and that's where I am still at today.  I realize that if I cannot let go of my anger, it takes the fun out of life as I know it.  Just playing the inactive part and not making any waves feels good to me.  The times I do go to the meetings, I find that it is easy to tune it out and to think about other things like work, recreation, whatever.  There are times when I do look forward to the meetings, especially when someone here says that apostates get an honorable mention in a part - then I'm wide awake!  There are several families in our hall that invite us to do a lot of stuff - no theocratic strings attached.  I must be in a very kick-ass congregation because I've had some folks tell me that they could only be so lucky to be in my shoes.  If and when I am cut-off from any association with the "friends," then I may stop attending altogether.  But for now, I might as well enjoy the friendships while they last.  Hopefully, people in the hall will see me as a nice and outgoing person and will severely question what happened if I ever da myself or get df'd for my ideas.
