I'll be 36 in November and I've never felt better.....I take care of myself more than ever, because I know that weight and age sneaks up very quickly. I've been lucky with genes that don't age, but the greys in my hair sneak up, nothing that a little color can't take care of. I'm 10lbs heavier than I was when I was 18, big deal, I'm healthier now than before. My tummy has a few little scars from childbirth, only marking my experiences in life and the rewards were well worth it! I see an all around happier person, more set and more at peace with my life.

I remember back in 1975 when the end was supposed to come...I was in Kindergarten, I remember my mother talking to one of the sisters on the phone about the prediction, my stomach sank...all I could think about at that young age was, 'will I make it'? have I been good? I was paranoid every time even after that when I listened to the news. My mother too related everything to the time of the end....it's no wonder I had ulcers and asthma....I was a nervous wreck...Now....I'm not a big news junkie...I'll listen to highlights but not details.....and anytime I hear something really bad happening, I just shake my head and sigh 'there goes my mother, talking about the end of the world' .....I'm in a much calmer world now, what a relief.

This is a great thread. I was just talking about that with my best friend 2 days ago, we grew up together since we were babies...she left 1st and then I followed 5 years later. I told her I can't believe I'm out, and how great it is, I cannot even imagine myself ever having been a witness or ever, ever going back to that. I can relate to most people on here...I was one who kept doing more, even after having a baby, it was so strongly encouraged to keep pioneering..."pioneer babies" they'd call the little ones dragged out in field service. I was so strongly linked and bonded to the friends in the hall I could never imagine leaving...never even toyed with the idea, I just couldn't understand how others could and miss out on this wonderful association in "spiritual paradise"....yeah I was waaaay off.......I can't believe I thought that way. I realise now, how very unhappy I really was, and I just thought it was because I had to do more.
As far as good association vs. bad association.....raise your kids with good values, regardless of what your religeon is....they will meet good people in the world. My daughter is now 14 and in high school and has a great group of diverse friendships.....she stays away from kids that smoke and drink, because she wants more from her future, that's how I've been raising her to think. She has choices that she needs to be responsible for. The witnesses make you believe it's all rotten on the outside, and the kids in the world have nothing to offer.....it's just another way too keep their fold in control.
I shudder to think of going back there, and it saddens me to think that so many are still in there and actually wholeheartedly believe what their taught....I hope they one day wake up.
