    Dear JWD Clan

    Being D'fed can be the most lonely experiance you can have. After loosing friends and family, this forum has been absolutely wonderful and supportive. Although I have been out for 10 yrs already, it was a wonderful experiance to finally be able to vent, waffle, joke and find compassion with people I have never met but who all share the same pain as I do..some even more.

    The support I have recieved from this forum is more than anything I recieved during the last decade from the JW Cult.

    ((((((Thanx to you all)))))

    Even though I've been DF'd for almost 20 years now, up until I found this forum I would view every bad thing in the news as a "sign" that Armaggedon was coming. About 7 years ago, I even stopped watching the news for a while because it scared me. (It didn't help that my husband was in a submarine and talk of war was rampant.) I am still disturbed by all the bad things in the world, but I no longer believe that Armaggedon is right around the corner.

    Thanks everyone.

    Simon,

    This is a good sorce for helping people mend. And so I would like to thank you for being as leanant,, as possible IMO, ,,it takes a lot of patients to deal with us all being so different,, and yet,,, so the same,,, and the work he has put into it over the years. I don't know if I would be able to do it,, I would find it very hard to be such a gracious host.

    Hapgood you took the words right out of my mouth. I felt exactly the way you felt, worthless walking around with a bad conscience for not keeping up even though I had not done anything wrong I missed one month of field service because I was ill and instead of encouragement I was meant to feel bad. Im happier now and not terrified of dying like I was before. This forum has brought me some peace, thanks girls and guys

    got my forty homey?

    It has helped me because me being one who really does not like people and not having any friends I have a group of people I communicate with daily yet I do not have to met any of you in person! Its sorta of like eating a bowl of white rice with the smell or fried fish and not having to pat for the smell of food I;m not eating!

    Does that make any sense?
