    Hello Pet,

    Nice to meet you. Cassi's a good one to start your journey communicating with - nice woman.

    What to do now that you're out?

    Sleep in on Sunday morning.
    Sleep in on Saturday morning.
    Sleep in on Service morning.
    Read anything you like.
    Study anything that interests you.
    Talk about any subject.
    Wear your skirts as short as you want.
    Wear slacks/jeans & t-shirts forever.
    Get great big hoop earrings.
    Have a leisurely dinner on Bookstudy & Service Meeting nights.
    Masturbate with no guilt.
    Try *new* things with no guilt with your husband.
    Spend your vacation time vacationing instead of conventions in hose.
    Take some classes
    Learn about evolution, the dinosaurs, the scientific world.
    And learn about your religion - thus, not feeling that secret worry about "what if they're right?" They're not.

    Basically, whatever you please as it's your life. Sound selfish? Yeah, I suppose - but that's just the private times. You still have your family - and that's great.

    Just read, learn, explore, and enjoy your freedom. Btw, the freedom to speak as an equal participant here is a great thing.....join in!

    Thank You from "Pet"

    Hi Cassi. You really are a sweetie. What wonderful people these are. Would you please say a BIG thank you to all of them especially 'Waiting'. I would not be able to function b/c of guilt if I wasnt shown this sight. I love it. Yes my whole life is ahead of me. I am reading Cof C now. Big thank you again.

    Love you all
    ~~ Pet.

    When the pain of being where we are, becomes greater than our fear of letting go...we will risk and heal and grow.

    Dear Pet,

    Hello and welcome!

    I was a 3rd generation JW (ie grandparent, parents, siblings & myself all JWs). It was really hard to finally realise that what I had been taught all these years were basically lies. However, you need to read and learn as much as you can so there are no doubts in your mind about leaving "the Truth".

    Sam Beli gave you some good links - read them and then read some more!

    And if you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask them. We were in your shoes once!
