Flower, I am so happy for you. I remember when you first came here, and how down and out you felt. It has been very heart warming to see how much you have grown and over come the baggage from the past. Your words bring tears to my eyes, and it is hard to get this crusty old man to get emotional. Thanks for sharing your progress with us.

The kind, gentle "flower" that the JW's tried to crush -- is blooming again!
Good for you, flower. Very meaningful post, and well-written too. You're talented.

That was very moving, flower. Thank you for sharing it with us. It makes the hard work so many ex-JWs do all worthwhile.
: For the first time, I felt I was understood. Someone else knew what it was like to be me. Someone else felt the pain. Someone else...many more..lived in the dark, deep hole that I called home.
So true. I had a similar epiphany about twenty five years after I left the WT. I had long discarded the religion as a hoax, but started reading other ex-JW stories on the Internet. I swear I could have written most of them myself based upon my own experiences. It was weird.
So I decided to speak out, and speak out I did!

What an Amazing post!!!
Six months ago, on December 25th 2001 I discovered the existance of an XJW community and that I was not alone in this universe.
Me too, in December!!
I began to experience life for the first time. I had been alive for 29 and a half years then but never experienced the love, joy or peace that life has to offer.
Me toooo!
Six months ago today, I truly left the JW cult. Its been a rocky up and down journey I cant lie but thanks to this community and others I have tasted life for the first time and it is good.
Meeee toooooo!
Didn't realize we had a similar story flower, no wonder I automatically felt a bond of friendship with you.[ ;) ]
Wishing the best to all those who live and suffer with JW spouses and families.
This touched my heart.
Wishing the best to all those who live and suffer with JW spouses and families. Wishing strength to those who are shunned. Wishing peace to those who are abused in any way.
Wishing love to all.

And this one post makes all the time we all spend here attempting to help people who are contemplating coming out, or are freshly out and doubting, or whatever, totally worth it.
This post made my entire year!
