Hi Scooby!
Good to see you posting here more
I would like to say that since the Lord opened my eyes, and caused me to experience what the Bible calls "being Born Again", I have been way more happy than I ever was as a JW.
When I was a JW, I was constantly worried (at least in the back of my mind) that God would destroy me at Armageddon because I wasn't going to all the Meetings, or putting in "enough hours in Service."
When I was younger, I was also somewhat worried about demons.
Since the Lord saved me, I can't describe how much more love I have for EVERYONE.
Being brainwashed and mind controlled for decades can cause people to be quite unhappy at first when they leave, because they may feel like they wasted decades of their lives.
