    The best revenge is to live a happy & successful life!

    Glad to see you are enjoying life!

    So.........in the 14 or 15 years since you were first awakened, what are the most significant changes you have seen or experienced?

    I for one, would love to hear any reflections you have on it.

    Congrats!

    Thanks all. Yes, I've kept quite a few of my old books konceptual, they sit there gathering dust mostly but I don't mind. I like the look of them and the way they make my JW family just a little bit uncomfortable if they ever come to visit .

    I'd say the dumbing down of the literature is most striking. At 50 I don't consider myself old by any means but I'm old enough to see that the organisation has evolved and is STILL evolving. Doctrine is almost irrelevant now, it's all about control . .

    The structure is being streamlined and focused. The Watchtower 'Mother' has all but died as it gives birth to it's successor, JW.org.

    Now pass me another beer!
