    Congratulation L-L !!- I am right behind you - 1988. Being out for 25 years is a lot better than being a JW fader/doormat for 25 years.

    Class of '82 here. Congratulations!!

    Not too late to crawl back! Jehover will forgive if you suck up properly!

    Ever consider the fact that just about everything we knew when we left has been abandoned, revised beyond recognition or flat out been stricken from the record?

    Congratulations! I count myself out since 1979, so that would make 31 out after 17 in, BTW.

    Congratulations Lady Lee with 25 years out AND SUCCEEDING

    You are quite right - we are the architects of our live and in theory, can't blame anybody but ourself when we do it wrong.

    But we can (and must) blame an organisation who is misleading people by purpose.

    Hi Country Woman Long time no see.

    I absolutely agree on the responsiblity of the WTS to messing up people

    But once we are free it is like recovery from abusive parents. They might have done the damage but it is up to us to fix it. They sure as hell can't. Neither can the WTS. They are all too messed up to see the problems they have caused

    36 years out for me. I left in 1974, confident that the few months I had left to live a real life before God was going to slaughter me in 1975 was worth the getting out.

    God must have forgotten to kill me in 1975, though. Thank God for that!
