The list is endless in terms of what I have lost....but putting it bluntly I dont think I have lost anything worthwhile; the friends you lose initially are not real friends at all; as yet ive not lost family so thats not relevant yet.
What have I gained...ultimate freedom, happiness, objectivity, an education, a fantastic partner and soulmate, two cats, a house, true friends....the list goes on and on. Any regrets????? HELL NO!

I can now look into the future, or should I say think about the future,.....
beyond five years.
Most of my adult life, .. I could see beyond five years.
Promises promises!
Ive gained a future.
I remember not planning anything more than 6 months ahead because what was the point, the big A was just around the corner. Didnt go to college or uny while in the troof (3 years?? The big A will be here before I finish), didnt get a pension (how unfaithful, we wont be here that long). Every financial decision blighted by not needing to do any long term planning.
Ive got my first pension and im 35 - what a crock.
Im now catching up and having to mis spend my well spent youth.
Oh I've lost - but it's all baggage. Evidently many have not been so lucky as to lose all the JW baggage.
