Excellent post Prodigal. Leaving the JW religious lifestyle is fraught with as many hiccups as living within the lifestyle ... only you've at least got your freedom and can start putting your life back together. Staying in the religion is tantamount to an inevitable 'bend over, put your head between your legs and kiss your own ass goodbye'.

I think your Holy Grail has merit ... I shall keep my eye on your future posts in case they're leaning towards religion of any kind. I doubt we'll be needed the white coat for you anytime soon though ... you're far too intelligent to get caught up in anymore religious claptrap
