Thank's u all

be wise

I've just realised it's my Junior member Birthday. I can't believed how much I've changed since being on JWD.

THANK'S GO'S OUT TO U ALL

Thank's goes out to Simon.

Yea, be wise, congrats on your juniordom!!!! That cartoon made me think actually - sometimes when I think I'm free I get silly little nagging doubts as to whether I'm doing the right thing or not, and so maybe I'm not truly 100% free after all, it's really more of a learning curve.

Now that I've been here for one year exactly I've been remembering what I thought of this site when I first saw it. When I first looked at this forum, about a year earlier, I was still a faithful Jehovah's Witness. After reading one or two of the titles of the threads I was convinced that I felt the very presence of Satan - as if he was about to jump out of the monitor to corrupt my very soul! I quickly moved away and didn't return to this forum until some time after I had my personal Crisis of Conscience.

It took me a long time to register because my firewall was blocking the registration process. Did you ever think that Jehovah was directing your life, no matter how trivial a part of it was - in a sense protecting you? I remember having a thought that my continuing failure to register here was a sign that I wasn't really supposed to be here. You don't realise how ingrained it is within you until you have those silly moments - Duh! Anyway, eventually I figured out what I needed to do, and my first ever post here was instructions on how to configure this site for use with Norton's Internet Security!

Matty,

I had to chuckle when you mentioned "learning curve". I think I was stuck in that curve for twenty years after I left, until I finally faced up to things on a personal level. ... Brought my head and heart into focus, cleaned out the cobwebs and harmful cognitive responses, re-structured my thinking, and freed myself inside out. Sure feels good now!!

Cheers,

Mat, I'd say this isn't some sort of divine direction you may have felt. I call it the paranoia that all JW's are taught to cultivate progressively. Sometimes little thoughts of our experiences as JW's like to visit us again but personally I only let that strengthen my resolve, although that can be easier said than done. I mean this sort of abuse ..and that's what it is, is not easy to sort out in our heads but we all bash away and progressively we will get there in the end but it takes time.
