    This is my official day... five years ago ... when I decided to no longer attend regular meetings.

    So, .. my wife comes home from the meeting yesterday and says..."Elder.______ says to say HI to you" ... as we were talking after the meeting.

    (This is the guy who was at my house telling me I should go to another hall, as I was no longer welcome there.)

    I wish I would have thought To say...You should have told him that : ... I was celebrating FIVE years of not attending.!

    but I did'nt think of it till later last night. Many great things have happened in this time... and ONE of those thigs is:

    The people on this board....and All of you who I met, .. and breakfasted, lunched, or dinnered with ( you know who you are)

    I view you are warm friends and people who I can be myself with.....and ... I THANK YOU.

    That's interesting that it was on 9/11. I know of a few "inactive" ones that actually started going back to meetings after 9/11. Don't really know why.

    Thanks everybody

    I know that the 9/11 thing scared many to be "faithful"...I just not want to hear the mumbo jumbo

    from all the self-rightous who think they are so "right"...

    my attitude is: Right or wrong...Live or die....I just could not be an active JW anymore.
