    Hi All,

    Since 6 weeks I stopped going to the meetings. Not that the meetings are not boring.... but I had some friends there, and have a lot more time on my hands. Also I decided not to use the computer so much anymore because of RSI related problems. I am working with computers, so need the time in the evening mostly away from it.

    Anyway have anyone any sugestions what to do, with the new discovered freedom and time? I grew up as a JW, so basically all my friends and family are JW. This does not make leaving a lot easier, there is kind of a vacuum now. So what did you do to fill up the vacuum?

    regards

    Danny

    How about all the things you wanted to do, and were sure deep down that there was no really valid reason not to?

    Most of all, enjoy the great people you will meet.

    I spend my extra time learning to cook new recipes, taking courses, hiking, hunting, fishing, photography, playing with my pet bird, and volunteer work.

    Well, right now there is holiday cooking, decorating, shopping. Pick up a hobby, what is something you have always wanted to learn or do or read? There are animals to adopt, books to read, instruments to play, join a gym, movies to watch, classes to take, recipes to try, and new friends to make!

    Have fun!!!!!

    What activities do you enjoy doing? Anything you're curious to learn more about? Maybe find a group of people in your area interested in the same thing. Volunteer at a museum or non-profit organization. Maybe help teach a kid how to read through your local school district. Go back to school. Get your PhD in Nuclear Physics...

    The options are endless! Use your talents for some good, not the good of a publishing corporation.

    Thank you that are some good suggestions. Except for the last one, I don't need another one in nuclear physics, ha ha.
    But indeed I need to do and find something new. Some real not profit organisation maybe....

    I didn't use my talents for them, already a long time. That was the most waste of talents I ever did.

    Find a new hobby or interest. You might enjoy taking an Authentic Happiness quiz to figure out what kinds of activities give you joy.

    You could read a book not written by the WT.
