Hi everyone,
I came across this forum and started reading it long before I decided to join. It is amazing to read that I am not the only one feeling the way I have for many years. I come from a family of JW's. It was shoved down my throat my entire growing up and after I turned 18, it took me another 15 years to completely cut all ties with the organization. I just "faded off" and my eyes slowly started opening and realizing what a strong cult I had been raised in. It has been 20 years since I have attended any meetings. My family shuns me but does invite me once in a while to a get together. My brother informed me years ago that I was a bad influence on his kids and so I could not associate with them. I want to thank you for this forum.
