    The longer I'm out, the more I wonder how I ever swallowed it.

    No.................no doubts.

    Are you kidding? The other day I was looking back at my jw life, and thought, "how come I didn't get out of there sooner?"

    I am happiest ever!!!

    After 45 years "out" I'd say with fair certitude that I'm not torn! It's been nearly 49 years since I was baptized, and I knew that day that the Botchtower Society was not my cup of tea. Haven't seen one thing in all those decades to change my opinion.

    Are you 100% sure you're doing the right thing???

    Yes. Absolutely Without a doubt especially after this week

    Ha! I'm so sure I made the right decision that I'm amazed, embarrassed, and ashamed I was ever so gullible to fall for that brainwashing cult!!!

    So happy to be free now--finally I try hard to not dwell on the disservice I did to my children by attempting to raise them in that mess. It has really stilted them in many ways.

    When I read Lady Lee's recent experience that she had at her daughter's wedding, it makes me nauseated that I ever embraced something that makes people behave so ridiculously.

    No, I'm not torn or wondering if I made the right decision. I wish I would have heeded those red flags that were going up when I first got involved, instead of wasting 10 years and becoming a seriously f*cked-up individual in the process.

    What amazes me is that I haven't been contacted by any of my former dub acquaintances. It has been almost 2 years since I left, and it kills me to know that all those people I used to know are still going through the JW drudgery, week after week. How can they stand it??!!

    It was undoubtedly the best decision of my life. I'm far better off as far away from the WT as it is possible to get on a planet with 6 million of them. They do not have the absolute truth as they claim and I have no doubt that "Armageddon" will never come.

    Although it came racked with pain and loss of family members... It was absolutely the right decision for he, my husband and our children...

    sometimes right decisions...carries casualties...
