I recognised before I ever left the witnoids that once you did everything in your worldview would be unraveled. As soon as I did make the decision it was BS, this began immediately. I started to learn about all the things I had not been able to before for one reason or another.
Major Worldview shifts when leaving WT:
- Mortality
- A Future
- Ethics
- Grey (not black and white)
- etc

Yes interesting....
When they take away the "thought controls"....what are your thoughts?
The "Fun" thing about being a witless thinking is not required....You have the group mind "The Borg's mind."
Now it's like learning a foreign lanuage, in is a little uncomfortable in the begining, but well worth the effort.
Time to learn to think my friend.
This because JWS commercialize fear and ignorance in a pursuit of power and money, human compassion for individuals and their families is not an item of importance
Power corrpts.......The Horror
My daughter asked me today if I still believe in God.
I told her the truth (my truth), that I don't really know what I believe and of course it's a journey yadda yadda.
I don't believe in letting negative people influence my life. I will never tolerate being treated badly because someone tells me it's my duty again. I will only surround myself with positive people so that I get nourishment from their support and do what I can to be a positive influence on them as well.
I believe that knowledge is power, that freedom is amazing and that relationships are priceless. Grey is good; black and white is harmful and narrow minded.
Learning to think for myself is the greatest adventure I've ever had or will have and I am excited about my future because I control what kind of person I will be.
I believe that resentment and revenge would ultimately destroy me.
I believe in letting go and moving on. I will not let them win by taking what I have left from me.
It's MY life.
