    Welcome Mikado. I've been out twenty-five years too. It wasn't easy without the internet was it? It will be good to hear your thoughts on moving on.

    thanks for such a marvellous welcome..

    I like the walking wounded sentiment, I suspect it's true, but honestly I regard myself as a survivor.

    my comment saying my partner is a "spiritually weak', was tongue in cheek. it was much harder for them to see the need to leave, as they had a vvery different experience. Their father was very opposed, they were one of a very large family and that balanced out the nuttiness they received...

    for example

    they played chess ! the horror of it

    could participate in sports

    could have 'worldly" friends (what a disgraceful expression that is)

    could eat Christmas cake, just not on the "right" day...

    When I was telling them off the reality of the hardcore jw life, they honestly didnt believe it, being able to show them on here really made a difference.

    Their family is a great example of people who dont attend, know almost nothing about the Jw practices, but are convinced it's the truth.....

    Welcome! It is 30+ years out for me. I still want to challenge the ones at the door or if I see them in the streets... My mom is still in, hardcore. Love her, but she is messed up.

    We are glad you are here!!!
