    I have been on and off this forum for 4 1/2 years. Its a nice place to vist ---------------but I can't live here.

    I think I have made peace with my 52 years as a "Watchtower Slave" and as Chris said in the movie "Platoon"--------"But it will always be with me in my heart and my mine"----------------and as he said also "we now have a duty to help others, so maybe they will not have to experience the waste years as we have".

    So let us be patient with all who visit here.----------- Because I think of myself, many years ago, at 21 years old, the self rightious Nazis JW. Who If I met today, would have no problem pouring gas on me and setting me on FIRE!-----------Most people need time to figure this all out------It took me 52 years -----------Yes thats right "the dub"ist person on the Board.----------Everything happens at the right time.

    So that is why with tears in my eyes ---------I have to say how much I appreciate all of you here day after day, trying to help other people with either words of comfort, logic and reason!-----------Don't think for one moment this is in vain.

    God Bless you ALL!

    Thanks new boy. I know I get a bit tough at times, but it was only seven days ago when I first let my anger about being mislead out. I left four years ago and have never dealt with any of the feelings or guilt, shame, anger, etc. It's like I've been stuck in the denial stage for four years.

    I'll mellow out eventually, but in the mean time, I'm going to stand up those who want to indoctrinate me all over again.

    It took me almost 2 years after I had left before I would look at any objective literature about the borg. This forum is and was the starting point for many like myself who needed to move on. So no matter what, each and everyone who visits or posts here has to let it all out, no matter how old you are, nor the circumstance. We are here to listen , to vent and remember, Helping is part of healing. So thanks to all of you who help me heal.
