Amara,
Welcome! Thanks for posting. AH. . .guilt, shame. . . the JW's chief weapon!
I only occasionally feel guilty about my lack of a relationship w/ my parents, but more often, I feel anger at them and the WT org. Anger is more productive, I think, it allows you to place the blame where it belongs, and that is not on yourself.
Glad you're here.

Hey amara, Welcome as I am also new to the forum!!! My dad was also an elder and I know what it's like. Please stop referring to your self as pagan or living the pagan life, stop using the JW lingo and just try to be a normal person.
I've been out for 24 years now, never felt guilt just an overwhelming hatred toward that cult. Don't beat yourself up, just try to move on, the anger part I'm still battling.
Also, I've been on this site almost every day and it's a good way to interact with other people in the same or sometimes worse situation.
Oh yayayayayayyayayyayayayayyyay!
Amara you made it here! How cool!

A huge welcome and hugs!

Welcome !!!
(why would you feel guilty for being happy and haven't done anything very bad to someone else?)
Nah, no guilt for leaving the jws. Just irritated (and somethimes depressed) at my family for being stoopid.
Anyway, welcome to the board!
glad to be here Lady Fey, I did not realize there were so many of us out here, this is quit awesome really!
thanks ex-nj-jw........ I have been reading alot of post here, I can relate so much to alot of people. I think this is an awesome place. But I say I am pagan, not because thats what the JW's call it but because thats what it is. I consider myself a solitary witch...thanks again for the welcome.
