Overrated
On thing about it. We are no longer riding on a bus going in circles to Disneyland but really to to no where. Giving our time, money, energy, lives to a self serving cult. We can ride now to where we want to go. And do what we like. We have true freedom. Not enslaved like those still in the cult.

I think its important to realize or reflect what was good about the organization.
There were set of rules of behavior and conduct that were enforced by elders and the guidelines set by the top leaders of the Org. that obviously had some practical goodness to them.
On the other hand some were actually quite damaging such as deaths for refusing a blood transfusion, the breaking up of families, to mention a couple.
Not everything outside the Org. is evil.
In a matter of fact there is evil situated in most religious organizations if you closely enough.
We should be now able to accept the fact that people can make their way in life in a wholesome way without relgoius indoctrination, yes it is possible.
I've been trying ever since I left, how about you ?

just fine
Everyday I get to choose:
To be happy
to eat healthy
to exercise
to love my husband
to love my job
to enjoy my life
to not let the JWs have any influence in my life even though I still have family in
Sometimes I forget that all of those things are choices I make, instead of letting outside conditions make those choices for me.
That’s how I have dealt with leaving the JWs - I get to choose everything and will never give that up to any person or organization.
