  That I did last weekend.....While been born and raised a JW....I was always taught that wordly people are bad...and apastats are even worse....

  After my first xjw meet on the weekend, it was proven to me that,that line of crap was so untrue....I meet wonderful people and had empty

  spaces in my life filled.....It was nice to have people to relate to my upbringing....If I say so myself, I found these people to be more honest

  and loyal then any jw I have ever met....If you ever get the chance to meet xjws,try it....it may bring much happiness to you, like it

  has for me.....I love this fourm and I am so happy to have been honered to have such wonderful people come into my life....keep on smilen!!

  Been walking around now days now with a permanent grin on my face.....Life is GREAT!!!!...cant say enough about it.....

  hey Morty,

  I hear you loud and clear! It sounds like we have parrallel lives. I discovered this forum last month, having been out of the JWs for 20 odd years. Although I got on with my life, I had never encountered other x jws, except on this forum. I take a certain comfort to know that there are so many of us out there ( it is almost like a secret club).

  I am looking forward to meeting everyone, at some point.

  I think it helps to have friends who are ex JWs. Lets face it, people who have never been a JW, really can only understand so much. So just the fact we can talk about things and have someone else understand is a bond. And yes there are some truly awesome exJWs. Of course we were lead to believe something different to scare us from going to the DARK SIDE. In truth, they can be more loving. I can't imagine telling you guys I am leaving and having one of you send me an email telling me to shoot my head off with a gun or slit my wrists and yet that is what my 'supposed' close JW friend said to me. That isn't love, that isn't friendship. That is just a reminder that the 'identifying mark of love' is not with the WTS.

  If your gap was missing, how would you know?

  If you spend all day doing nothing, how do you know when you're done?
