Nice post LadyLee. The thing that really keeps me comming back is fact that the majority of the posters here are all ex-cult members. No one that hasn't been on the "inside" can really appreciate what that feels like. Most people here have experienced it first hand and are extremely supportive as well as friendly. Not to mention that it's lots of fun.

Ah, yes, having a Voice. Can you IMAGINE an elder who would give me the speaker's platform for ten minutes, ANYWHERE?
I come here to have a Voice and to keep from going crazy.

Ex witness forums, and ex-cult forums are very beneficial. Just to talk to someone who has also been there done that.
Sort of like AA *alcoholics Anonymous* being in a support group, and recovering together.
To know your not alone is definatly a help.
So its forums like these that really help in the recovery progress.

I've never viewed the Fluff threads therapeutic, but I surely enjoy them.
(and personally I did'nt need therapy: I was'nt long enough in the cult to be brain-washed - I even was at all birthdays in the family - only not "congratulating" )
For me, reading and posting on this forum is getting more understanding for what a lot of ex dubs are going through (including my daughter Viv)

This is a great forum, a life saver in many ways. I haven't been around the jws for some years, but I have benefitted a lot in the few months I have been on here. Its great to be among people who have shared experiences of leaving the cult.
I intend to be here for a long time to come
