    Hey Paul,

    Beautifully written (you made me cry). As a newly exited JW I can relate--thank you. I am still scared, but the support on this site has helped to keep me afloat.

    Thank you so much,

    Paul. Biting my bottom lip here, trying to keep the top one from quivering.

    I recall when you arrived here. I will never forget today. Wonderful synopsis of your visit here. By your presence here, you not only helped yourself but countless others. And your posts will be here for the rest of us to refer others to.

    Godspeed friend

    I had to restart my entire life at age 32 [I realize that many here have awakened from the WTS with more time than this invested into the cult]. Everything I lived for was a lie. My entire life was structured around a lie. I lied to my family, my friends, my neighbors, my co-workers as I was lied to myself.

    I must be your soul sister because you basically described my life in your post. The above portion of the post is what touched me the most. Its like I can see through your eyes.

    Thanks

    Winston, you certainly have come a long way. It makes my heart glad to know that so much good has happened to you since you first came "here".

    You have your whole life ahead of you...go and live it well!

    Paul ya bastard..I'm closer to you than I am my wife, you can't leave me!

    You were the inspiration that enabled me to finally plant my feet solidly on the ground and push with all my might against the enormous weight the elders and my wife had put upon me.

    When I read of the similarities of our wifely units and the similar emotional blackmail tactics they employed you helped me see through the fog of guilt and escape the trap of self destruction.

    Your no bullshit approach to the elders and your patience with your wife gave me courage to act like the person I really was inside.

    I don't know what else to say man..

    In a few short months you have become closer than any of my blood brothers and a hell of alot more fun at parties too.

    Even though your not quite as intelligent as I am and your porn habit does bother me at times, your one of best people I've never met in my life.

    Whenever you need the support of friend...I'll be there and I mean that.

    Buddy there is no doubt in my mind if we were to put our minds to it we could take this global cult known as the WT and stick their teaching so far up they're condescending asses that Moses would have to part alot more than the Red Sea to save them.

    But then we would forfeit the rest of our lives ina pursuit to topple an organization built on lies anyway...once again you've done the right thing by getting on with your life...

    Do drop back to say hello cause it won't be quite the same without you dumbass.(Dumbass added to break the manly tension)

    Winston (Paul) , that was brilliant . I only wish I could have expressed it so well , for it is in the heart of so many of us and is something just not comprehended by those still blinkered within.

    If you must go , may I add my warm wishes to those already expressed . You have added to this board and we thank you.. I thank you for the PM helping me with some computer stuff

    Fare well , but I hope we see you again
