Welcome Gemmel
I enjoyed reading your story, I just love it when people realise it's all crap and just walk out.
Very sad about your family but cult's love this shunning business, keeps the drones from finding out the truth.
I'm from Melbourne :)

Hi all,
Thanks for all the words of support and understanding, no one who hasn't been in a cult can really understand it.
I didn't mention names or locations in the story so that the jw lurkers couldn't find my familly who are still in the jw's but now speak to me. Which has only happened in the last few years. It's only limited and it's not all of them but better than nothing. I'm not going to go into any further details on that score.
I was very fortunate after I left the jw's. My educational qualifications were and still are lousey. I left school at 14 after being to 11 of them in 9 years. Mum's answer to any problem real or imagined was to move, I couldn't tell you how many different places I lived there were so many. I was the permenant new boy at school and as the world was going to end I didn't ever do any work at school. I can't ever remember doing home work ;) My saving grace was my curiosity and computer games lol.
Back when I was 22-23 I went over to a bothers place to see a thing called a computer (Apple II+ clone) and ended up playing a game all night, I went out and brought one the next day ;) When the PC came along I brought one of those, I been a PC boy ever since. So when the company I worked for computerised I found myself moved into the EDP dept cause I knew how to spell PC and never looked back. I'm now the systems manager of the core product in Sydney of a major international company and I owe it all to a computer game. ;)
Till lata stay safe all
