As JW’s we thought and were constantly told that we would never grow old in the wicked system, well that’s a lie and the sooner you begin to prepare for it the easier life will be for you. If you aren’t able to change jobs, start to grow your business and look for opportunities to expand what you do. When I left the JW’s I built up my business until I had three vans on the road and was earning in 3 months what I used to earn in a year! I also added to the services I offered and bought expensive equipment to make my business stand out from the crowd.
I can’t tell you how good it felt to be driving one of my sign written vans and see a beat up little car with ladders on the roof and know exactly who was driving it, not to mention the fact that I looked exactly the same way only 12 months earlier. I’m not claiming to be a great success, over the years I’ve had some very hard setbacks but some of the things I did when I left the JW’s continue to allow me to run a profitable business and look after my family today.
Try to write out a business plan for your life. Give yourself reasonable goals and only plan a few years ahead. If in doubt reread your plan and ask yourself “Do my actions help or hinder my goals?”
You will need to fill the holes left in your life by shunning so I now advise you to go out and make friends. Not everyone is bad or wants to live an immoral life, in fact most people you meet will be nice and treat you as you treat them. For sure there are bad people everywhere but you met plenty of bad people in the JW’s!
Join clubs of all kinds, take classes with your free time and invite people over for meals. Date. Go out on dates and don’t worry about whether you plan to get married to them. Find things you love and try everything you wanted to try but weren’t allowed to before. Be consistent and decent while doing this. Don’t feel forced to do anything your conscience says you shouldn’t but be aware that your conscience has been formed by a group of men intent on keeping you in a cult so question why doing a thing might be wrong and be prepared to change your mind.
As you get further and further away from JW life you’ll begin to notice that you’re no longer the same person you used to be. You won’t be afraid of your own shadow, you’ll be ready to speak out about what you think and (particularly for the women reading) you’ll start to realize you can lead a happy life without feeling obliged to obey every word that comes from a man, whether it be your Husband or the Elders.
In time the difference in you will shine through.
