How do you "find this site by accident"?
Google, my good man, Google. 
I was searching for info which had NOTHING whatsoever to do with Jehovah's Witnesses, the Watchtower Society, or the United Nations... but this site was BIG enough to show up with a thread pertaining to my research, you see. Like many, I actually thought this was an active JW's site... which... of course, at first, it was...
the rest is history.
what were you searching?
Min, you're a curious sort, aren't you? Check your PM. I don't know why, but I am shying away from posting it here.
Baba, I know what you mean now.
This site saved my life,I was in such despair when I left the Borg. after fifty-eight years in (born in) that I felt I just wanted to die. I even planned how to do it.I have other problems apart from leaving the Religion,but the leaving was the biggest trauma I had ever experienced.
I then started reading on here and realised that I owed it to those I love to pull myself through,and the therapy of being on here and all your kind words and thoughtfull advice have helped me so, so much.
Thank you all.
Lots of love,
Wobble
WOW Wobble! I guess Simon deserves the praise for keeping you with us!
Ah, Wobble! Love to you!
Thanks guys,and HUGE thanks to Simon,I remember the sinking feeling I had when I read JWD was closing,my lifeline gone!
what a relief when I read it was coming back bigger and better! Long live JWN!
Yes thanks to all again,especially Simon,and I am sure this site will save more lives than the WTB$ ,they havn't saved one yet!
Love
Wobble
I dont think this site makes me feel better.
It just keeps stiring up my anger and resentment.
And makes me aware that I have been screwed and that makes me screwed today.
And it doenst change or end.
You get one life to live and the Wactower fuxd mine up.
Or maybe it allows me to vent that I have been screwed and keeps me from exploding.
I dont know, I havent exploded yet.
But I dont feel good either.
I've been out of the tower since 83 and the root of all my problems and misery goes
back to my JW brainwashing.
Being aware sucks.
Thats what Adam and Eve said after they ate the fruit.
Most of the time this site makes me feel better, like a huge relief. But sometimes I feel sad when realizing just what a tragedy the WT has become.
I'm very glad to have the opportunity to be here. It has helped me tremendously in healing from the experience. When I first came, I had been out for many years. I still had family in, so I was curious about what was new in dubland. I knew that time was marching on and wondered how the WT was explaining Armageddon's failure to appear. What I found was much more scandal than I had thought even the WT was capable of. You couldn't have predicted that UN thing with a crystal ball! That truly falls into the "truth is stranger than fiction" category. (Or maybe the "shoulda known better than to trust a cult" category.)
I am very thankful for this sight and for Simon who has made it all possible!
