Just to show you that it can all be good in the end... what would you think if someone posted that they (ex-mo) finally left the church and ... are now living together with an ex-JW? I'd say "out of the pan into the fire" or something.
Well, that's what I'm up to. LOL Shila and I have been together for four years now, 2.5 living under the same roof. We built a new house last year and love it.
Just think of the dynamic. She thinks mormonism is nuts, I think JW's are nuts..but... neither one of us gives a rat's rectum. I'm in awe that I joined the church, she's in awe that she ever believed the 2nd coming was scheduled for 1975. Wrecked our lives those two religions.
Ya see? You CAN make it through and live a happy life. We're both scarred a bit, but we're normal (well, at least Shila is), happy and thriving. Y'all know I come in here and jack around more than I should, but I have to tell you I'm really thankful that I made it out the other end of the tunnel with a few brain cells left.
If I've learned anything after 22 years in the morg and the past 13(?) out, it's that you just can't take yourself too seriously and you have to forgive yourself for being a gullible moron and be able to laugh at yourself without regret nor humiliation.
Just sayin'...
