    Welcome and enjoy your stay on JWD!

    I myself have never been disfellowshipped. It must be hard for you. The companionship that you will find on this board will help wonders. Since you mentioned that you were browsing thru before you posted is an indication of how candid and sincere we all really are.

    Continue to post and let us know what develops.

    Welcome, You will find that this is a place where you will be accepted no matter what your feelings are. We are all in different places, still in, inactive, DAed or DFed. Some still believe in Jehovah, some believe in no god. But most of us know the pain of losing faith or family or friends. Tell us your story when and if you are ready. Sometimes it helps to talk about it and we will all be here for you. els

    Welcome Utopian_Raindrops. Stick around as long as you like.

    The best piece of advice a witness friend gave me when I left was
    "don't hurry back". What this witness meant was, like, "take some time to regroup, before rushing right back".

    And I would add, "to exhale".

    I enjoyed your post and look forward to hearing more aboutcha.
    Wish you well with all you are dealing with.

    Good advice by all. I reached out for the "rose" thirty years ago, only to be constantly pricked by the "thorns"

    It's taken me a while to adjust, so I realise how you are thinking -

    I hope that you stay with us.

    Welcome Utopian!

    Still waiting for that kick in the pants? Naw, we've all been there and remember deciding not to hear dissenting thought and commiting to stay in line at all costs. We don't consider it a character flaw.

    There are a lot of people here that agree that there is no place to go. They have decided that Christ had no intention of setting up rigid organizations to interceded between man and himself.

    Just keep your mind open, and we'll be happy to share opinions on any subject.

    Howdy U.R.! I'm sorry for what they did to you. But you're right, this is a good place to come to talk about it. Just be kind to yourself, and give yourself a little time to heal.

    Welcome!!
