You go girl, I am also an ex jw who has joined the movement to better this world, my way. Enlightenment thru science, which helped me improve myself, which helped me improve the world. The thing is, now I only answer to myself, no dogma, no religious bullshit. You got a great sense of humor, again, you go girl.
