Well to those who have decided not to leave...
In thirteen more days I will be married. Jessica and her daughter have moved their belongings to my house. The final plans are being made regarding our wedding party. Everything is looking well.
I don't know why I decided to inform people I truly don't know about my personal life, but most of us have a bond that makes being here make sence. Being a former Jehovah's Witness, and knowing so many of you are like myself brings a comfort to me knowing that I am not alone. The inner peace I now have with myself was made possable because of so many of you. I feel much better reading real experiences (I have always felt the JW "experiences" were made up.) about growing up as a JW, like I did. I feel better watching the truth being told about the Watchtower Society. And I definitly feel better knowing my daughter (actually Jessica's daughter) will not have the same childhood that I did.
All of this is made possable because of many of you on this board.
Now I am not sure what causes the "flame wars" and the announcements of "I am leaving" that so many choose to make. But I just wanted to express my own personal "thank you" to so many of you who post on this board, and to let you into my life once in awile.
To Jessica, you are my love and my inspiration. And to all of you thanks for making it possable for me to have a lovely woman like Jessica in my life. Because if it wasn't for this board helping me overcome the JW lifestyle, I would not have Jessica in my life.
Is this a light saber in my pocket or am I just happy to see you?
