Aloha Suzyque,
I have only discovered this site a little over a month ago. I was pretty broken when I dragged in here, beaten up and dragged down by the Org, but was still under the illusion that all who opposed the WT Org were foaming at the mouth evangelical monster apostates. Much to my relief I found that there are many thousands of others who have had similiar experiences and somemuch worst experiences than mine, or the many others who have observed things doctrinal and otherwise that they could no longer get their heads around. Yes, I think the support offered at this site was a lifesaver for me and many others here. There is much experience offered here by many of the WT survivors--many of their stories have kept me from making some early on mistakes with the way I handled my separation from the Org. But I am still learning too. I am glad you found this support group. Much welcome...
Love, cybs
