    C&B@T,

    You didn't specify your age, so I do not know if I am too young or old. Wecome to JWD, and browse the threads, you may find the answers that you are looking for.

    Welcome! I am glad to see you here. I am not from Texas, but I lived in Dallas for a month or so:) I am in Washington State now, married with 3 kids 7-20yo. I was raised JW and left when I was nearly 16. Never baptised.

    At the outset, my experiences are different than yours, but my mom is still in, and I still have issues with the religion, I guess, even though I am 41 now. I am way past the really pissy and bitter stage, but it just offends me too much to leave them alone, I guess.I have settled into somewhere between mad at God if he is there, to not being sure there is a god. I think religion pretty much sucks. But that's just me.

    If you think there is anything about my experience that may be of help to you, please PM me. I am happy to be a friend, a sister or a spongy shoulder to soak your sorrows. Take care of yourself. Breathe deep, its just a publishing company in a borough.

    I am from Texas.

    I agree with Twitch....

    So, spill your guts out, what is needin' fixin'?

    There is not much that hasn't been discussed here, it is JW group therapy.

    Many different levels of faders, some lifers that need to vent, those successfully out and willing to reach back throw a lifeline to those in need.

    I would say it was as judgment free as one can humanly get!
