  Hi All,

  Just popped in to say Hi and let you know that my wife and I have been "out" for 10 years!!! Wow a whole decade without going to a meeting or out door to door.

  No bolts of lightening, only a couple of visits in all that time by some petrified elders and a couple of newbie locals knocking on our door in all that time!

  How wonderful! 10 years of relative freedom from all of that BS we were bought up with. You will know the truth and the truth will set you free......ish. Pity about all the dub relatives!

  Congratulations! After all this time, isn't it wonderful how the WT teachings become a distant memory?

  Congrats! But are you sure you didn't turn into a better, angry apostate complete with horns and tail?

  Congratulations geevee

  I left in the mid eighties. I grew up in the truth.

  It's true fleshyheadedmutant the teachings become a distant memory but the memories encountered while in the grasp of "The evil empire" will remain forever.

  Talking from personal experience and as you can also testify to. This notion of been hounded by elders just isn't true. There are so many that have so easily faded with out so much as a whisper from the elders.

  Thanks for the nice comments. It is good to not be a part of that rubbish any longer.
