Hey, is there a TV show or movie that "bothered your conscience" while PIMI and that you have given a chance now that you don't believe anymore? I'll start: the Handmaid's Tale came out on Netflix and it's soo good. As a PIMI I would've passed because of all the gore and "immorality", but now I'm completely hooked.
Can you relate? I have zoomed in the last 3 meetings, my whole family has, by the way, and missed two Sunday field services. This is the best I've felt since waking up. My anxiety is under control, I'm in a much better mood and actually feel like pursuing my hobbies and interests again. Such a timely glimpse of the life I'll have when I finally leave this cult for good. Maybe I was not depressed, just needed a break from JW life. For 3 meetings, I didn't have to pretend to be interested, put on a smile while dying inside, worry about going under the radar. This week everything will get back to normal, but I'll be happy until the next meeting I have to attend in person.
