Hi, new to this forum. Figured I'd let everyone know about my story before I got involved.

    Hi Jonathan, welcome to the board! Could i possibly get a pot of tea, milk and sugar?? Oh and can you rustle up some crumpets to?? Thank you your a darhling!

    My heart ached for you, your wife and your sister and those poor children. I really hope you can all find peace. There are some lovely wonderful people on this board and i hope that you and your wife can start your healing. You are very lucky to have a wife that loves you soo deeply. You have a bond that not marriages experience or have. I look forward to hearing more from you.

    Hi jonathan

    I read the whole thing, and admit to tearing up a bit. I find myself getting closer and closer to where you are now regarding wife and family. And it is nice to know there are people my age on the otherside and in 1 piece

    thank you

    whew! 2Guinness and however many minutes later, I read the whole thing!!! You deserve your own ridiculous reality TV show.

    I think your wife will come around. It sounds as if she's half way there. I used to suffer from lots of similar crying fits/depression issues in "the truth". I can't explain it, but I just feel like she's already almost there.

    You're a wonderful writer btw. Clearly intelligent, but I can tell you're not stuck on yourself. I don't feel embarrased to respond even though I admit to being one of the run of the mill uneducated ex "sheep".

    Wecome to the forum. I don't come around often. Only when I need a dose of faith related "therapy". It's always nice to read stories of those going through similar things.

    WHEW! Just read your long introduction. I prefer tea---Earl Grey, hot. Anyway welcome to the board. Keep writing my friend and keep us posted.

    Good science and religious mythology just cannot be reconciled. I too began seriously questioning the flood story, the frequency of earthquakes, WT's medical advice, and how a sudden creation just didn't jive with the fossil record. It made a lot more sense to me to listen to people who had spent the majority of their lives studying a particular subject than to people who never got beyond high school.

    A big welcome to you. I will finish reading it, eventually.

    I stopped reading to welcome you, as well.

    Reading these sorts of experiences just make me angry at the Borg again. Glad you got out. Heartbroken for those still in.
