Not to hijack the topic, but speaking of fleas...
I remember when I used to work with this Chinese guy. He was an engineer where I worked. What a great guy with a charming sense of humour. I was telling him one day at the lunch table that I had to go home and put powder on the floor cuz I had fleas from the cats. He looked at me and asked, very seriously, "You have frees?" HAHHAHAHA.. the whole table busted out laughing.

Welcome Fleaman

Welcome!
Fleeman, er, Fleaman, Welcome!
Wow, I like the style in which you left. Mine wasn't done so consciencely, I just slowly stopped going to meetings, and finally the memorial because I couldn't tolerate the hypocrisy I saw when I move to a new congregation after I got married to a wonderful JW man (who was an abusive alcoholic). (No whine there, just the t***h.)
I was raised JW and left in my early 20's in the late 70's. School was hell for me, too. And i couldn't understand why those not in the t***h, but who believed in J and JC so firmly were so evil. I, too, found out that they weren't. Neither is anyone else, in general.
There are many things we were taught that translate to the outside world that I have found to be good: Treating ALL others as we treated our "brothers" and "sisters"; the ability to speak to anyone out there without (too much) fear; the training to speak to an audience, and to teach. I've used these all successfully in business, and all without even a complete highschool education! (After my sophomore year of HS I had enough education to either become a pioneer, or be a wife. After 2 years of pioneering, I became a wife.)
Enjoy your newfound freedom. It really is awesome. And, again, Welcome!
Hugs on your journey

Ah, another tragic story of one of Jehovah's faithful who was mislead by all the apostate lies on the internet.
All I can say is WELCOME TO THE CLUB...lol.
