I have been viewing this site for the past three weeks or so and relate to alot thats been said. I was born into the organisation, in a family of twelve children. Married for 22 years with 6 kids of our own. My family and I have been shunned by my family for over 6 years now because they don't understand mental illness. For sometime now I have felt that there was something amiss but have made excuses for their conduct for long enough. I was concerned that someone would recognise who I was from my login name but what the heck.

Welcome, 1 of 12. I take it that 12 children families are rare in NZ (rare most places).
I figure mental illness is the leprosy of the 21st century. JWs are afraid they catch it by being around people and they try to isolate them to protect others.
