It is a freedom for doing research...listening to others, and not base everything upon the JW mentality.

Hubby and I do lots of research into different things...and we'll talk, exchange ideas and have communication without arguing about who's right or wrong.

My depression comes from different things; although the more I remain physically/mentality active, it's not so bad.  Hell, I've even given up trying to have communication with my JW siblings because I was creating my own depression with thinking this time things would be different.  They are the one's that are unable to shift mental gears.
