    Hi Josie and welcome.

    Glad to have you here - it's a "great crowd"

    Hi Josie and welcome. I know what you feel about feeling strange posting. I had left for around 7 years before I came here, and the first time I posted I felt like I needed to keep looking over my shoulder to see if anyone was watching me. The guilt is just instilled in us, it goes away after awhile. Keep coming back.

    Welcome

    I think we all felt a littled scared about posting the first time....

    This is a great place to heal from spiritual abuse.

    "I'm not alone! Someone understands! I was scared at first to post...it's funny..I left about 8 years ago yet the "fear" and guilt still linger. Anyways, so glad that I found you guys!"

    Hi Josie, and welcome. I've been out of the org for almost 30 years, but when I found this site earlier this year, my first reaction was, "At last! People who speak my language!"

    as Leslie said...

    is so true. For me it still sort of comes and goes. (It's feeling a little gone right now, thankfully.)
