inspired by that poem in the other post that says we come back when we realise we reap what we sow. - another word for karma, but I think we arent meant to believe in that when we are JWs

Not sure I understand. R U saying what did you get kicked out for? (Many of us quit the Watchtower, we were not fired.)
I understand the second part, which is, "how is it working out for you?"

Im sorry. a bit ambiguous.
the poem in the other thread "disturbing poem' I quote..
When they've discovered they've reaped what they've sown,
I'll take back my lost lambs and make them my own.An annoyingly over righteous assumption.. What I am saying is.. what are we supposed to have sown? - it summises we have all sown bad seeds, and more than 'why did you get kicked out' that wasnt my question.. it was more along the lines of.. what benefits have you reaped these days... because I am sure we must have all made positive steps in our lives..
no I wasnt noseying at why people left :) thats up to each one to share or not x

I reaped true friends, self respect, a good husband who cares for me and hasn't the slightest inclination to bully, boss, abuse or try to kill me, a college degree, freedom of thought and expression, critical thinking skills, love...I could go on all day.

Everyone reaps what they're sown...good or bad based on opinion. The bOrg likes to say that we who have left are reaping what's bad. It's a lie to keep the rank and file in control.
