Welcome to JWD BF. I thought the same thing, if I don't get out now, when? Altohugh it's hard to begin with it has gotten a lot easier and the longer I've been fading the stronger I feel.

How ever I can help I would be willing to do so. When I was DF'D at 19 it was so impowering because I was powerless at 13 now when the elders asked me at 19 what I was doing wrong I just smiled at them and told them it was none of there bussiness and it is between me and God, then they proceeded to tell me that my sister told them I was smoking and that was all they needed!!!

Welcome to JWD!! I'm glad you found us, too.
Sorry that I didn't respond earlier. I wasn't ignorring you. I work during the day and rarely can look here before 5pm Pacific Time.
Thanks for sharing some of your story --- Heart-breaking as it is... In my heart, I feel this is probably the most heinous thing the organization does. (To me, it's even worse than their stand on Blood.) Turning kids away when they MOST need their family and community support. I believe it is criminal child neglect and emotional abuse.
Again - Welcome. It's a great place to be.
