I had just had a horrible experience with the elders regarding my son. A lot of corrupt things happened in the process.
I was mind blown about the whole thing. I found this place searching for some kind of answers or like minded people? I dont know quite how to label it. I was a torn and sad person. I was also a pioneer, so I felt very guilty about even accessing this site.
I would read with one hand over my eyes!
Sometimes I would get so upset with reading the gradual revealing of the underside of the organization that had been my life, that I would leave and drive or walk for hours just trying to make sense of the two worlds. Here and "there" with "there" being the Kingdom Hall.
I read for almost 4 years while attending meetings more and more sporadically.
I still have a lot of family in and my son is out forever with me kind of straddling between the two with the chasm growing ever wider.
The two things that have helped me the most are for one, the actual facts of course. If a person takes time to read, there is a gold mine of information that has been compiled here.
The second big help has been the kindness and patience shown me by posters who already had advanced well beyond the point I was at but who were willing to help me muddle along at my own pace.
I will be forever in their debt and try really hard to extend that to other new ones when I come across them here.
