I think in a lot of ways, yes. I was so afraid to have an opinion before because I thought I had to read the WT to tell me what I thought. I guess I feel more confident in my morals.

I burp out loud n stuff.....thats not good huh?

kairos

I have taken an interest in EVERYONE now instead of just JWs.

I'm having a hard time forgiving myself for my narrow views that contributed nothing to society.

Bonsai

In some ways yes. In other ways no. It's harder to be patient and have the endurance to deal with BS at work when you come to the realization that life is very very short.

Syme

Yeah, I've become more moral: I don't long for the death of 99.9% of the Earth's population in Big-A anymore.

I don't condone anymore the atrocities committed by God or "God's people" as found in the Old Testament; I don't believe people should be punished, or watched, for what they do in their private lives, as long as they don't hurt anyone; I've stopped being homophobic; I don't shun people; I don't give orders anymore; I don't judge; I lie a lot less.

stuckinarut2

YES!

I agree with kairos and syme...

My witness-prescribed judgmental attitude has now gone, and I see people as : people! Yes, people worthy of respect, even if they dont agree with me on everything or have the same views as me!

Diogenesister

I try extremely hard now, because I want to , not out of fear. I try & work on the important things - like charity & caring for everyone ,& forget the unimportant things like the swear words (quite enjoy a good cuss sometimes!).

never a jw

I was born and I will die Moral-less.
