    Welcome DannyBear,

    I'm a little late at saying "Hello", but I was having so much fun conversing with you and the others in Chat last night that I didn't get a chance to peruse the board.

    Look forward to more of your insights.

    Thanks RedhorseWoman,

    That was fun chatting last night. Getting to hear from Amicus regarding old friends from the 70's was also a treat. That is one part of extracating yourself...or being booted...from the Org that is a real tragedy...loosing all contact with friends,let alone family. Like others have said here recently, its not the people we despise, its the ORG dummy!

    Enjoyed your comments on Indian culture..one of my favorit subjects. I proudly sport a particularly attractive featherd 'dreamcatcher', hanging in my bronco. I also enjoy contributing to several of my local indian reservation, casinos...not to far from my den. HeeHaaah

    Greetings buffy fox,

    So you have had 13yrs of a relatively sane and normal life. You are one of the more fortunate one's. Able to grow as an adult outside the 'mind chains'....but Iam sure you are still haunted by all the same jibberish, that the rest of us...'lifer's'...deal with.

    We have little red foxes living in a den, not far from our house. I have to keep 'Lucky'(kitty) inside, for fear they will catch him. They are really cute little buggers, and I know where the expression 'sly like a fox' comes from. Iam happy to have them around.

    Thanks for you welcome.

    Hiya,

    I've never posted or joined before mainly because I was scared of being found out by my ex-husband mad family. I have kids to a JW man and his family are avid fans of the org.
    I have watched your discussions for a while now and it's good to know that at least there are some survivors out there!!
    I didn't know where or what to write so if I've jumped on Dannybear's topic then apologies to him.
    looking forward to hearing from you all in the future.
    Thanks Jen x

    Welcome Buffy Fox,
    I love that name. I have lived around forests for a long time, and had time to observe some baby fox's (correct?) They are so cute! Love to hear more about you.

    Hiya just got in from work... Thank you all so much for your kind welcome. It's mad because after so many bad times its difficult to think that there are at least some nice people out there.

    I've been watching these sights for many years mainly because it used to be 'off limits' Now I just feel a complete idiot that I devoted and I mean devoted 13 years (mostly of my youth)to that shambolic organisation. Sometimes I find it hard even now not to feel guilty over the things I do. When I first went to university I felt sooo bad cos we weren't suppose to seek extra education unless it was for the betterment of the kingdom. I now know it's because it opens your mind too much and that's exactly what they want to stop.
    I wonder why we are all drawn to each other, and maybe it's because we find it hard to fit into the world and yet we don't want to belong to the truth. I find myself mostly caught between the two worlds. It well hard making new friends especially once you have been disfellowshipped and you know no one else.
    Hope this message finds everyone in good health and spirits
    Love Jen ;
