Umbilical? as in receiving nourishment? not from the wts.
I kinda look on it as the VFW, veterans of foreign wars. They still meet and keep in touch but they sure wouldn't want to be back in the war. They show family and friends war scars and medals, and share war stories over and over again.
It's an experience we all went through, like high school maybe, only worse, [if that's possible] but we keep in touch and go to reunions. It's a part of our lives but it's not our life.

Bhagavad,that was a really great post!
Good post Liberated!
It's a commradory. I appreciated your example of the VFW.
We all have been through alot, and have alot of varying circumstances. This forum offers a place to heal, laugh, cry, and unleash anger at what the WTS's grip on us has done over the years.
I hope you'll come to appreciate that some day Bhagavad.

Liberated
that was a good way of putting our situation. We can tallk to all kinds of people but
only those that have been JW can really understand what we are going thru. Lot of
our new friends hate what we are going thru with our kids now, and express shock when
we tell them what the Witness believe about shunning. We were always a very close knit
family but not now because of us not believing anymore. Met some ex-jw this summer
when we were on vacation and they were so glad to have a chance to visit with some one who felt like they did and we could really visit and exchange thoughts and experinces.
My husband has been looking up old friends from his navy days. Like you said you have a connection with them. desertflower
