This month marks 10 years since I sent in an "estimados hermanos" letter to my local kingdom hall, telling them to leave me the *&&^ alone. 10 years of freedom from the cult!!
I've been criticized a lot in the past for writing the letter and playing "their game." But I tell you what, there has never been a single day of regret in this past decade. Never, not even once! I was so happy to slam that book down and shut it tight, lock it up and throw away the key!
A lot of crap has happened to me during this time, it hasn't all been peachy. There are still some things, believe it or not, that I have to yet overcome. Being born in a cult can really mess you up in the head......
Simultaneously, I am putting an end to a 7 year hellish marriage. Another chapter in my life that is now closing. It seems that every year that ends in an 8 brings on some big changes for me: I was baptized in 88, DAd in 98, and now divorced in 08!
The journey has been incredible and I feel that the best is yet to come!!
bring on 2018!! looking forward to it
