Hey Billygoat:
Your post made me laugh dude! I'm glad to see you're enoying life now. It never was that bad for me though. I played sports a lil, hung out with other ppls, because I was the only one in my fam that was a jw. So, I wasn't totally out of the recreation scene. My main point was that views I had about the world and ppl around me were so distorted, that I never really enjoyed myself or lived up to my true potential. There always seemed to be an if, and or but. It was mentally exhausting. Like being out in the cold all time, you just get tired from the stress of continually trying to stay warm. It sucked big time, but ya thought you were doing it for God. That was the way to rationalize it. So now I'm stuck tryin to catch up on life, but it's cool I'll do it eventually. Thanks for the encouragement dude. Hope to see you around here more often.
ONE....
