Sassy

well almost all right.. cuz.. waaahhh.. shotgun is taking a time out.. sigh..

I have been dealing with guilt since leaving the organization (some anger, too). I don't want to go back. I have no desire to become reinstated or even go to a meeting. I have (and sometimes, still feel) like a bad person for making that decision. This site helps me to realize there are other people--good people--who understand where I am coming from and that it's OKAY to make the decision not to go back. I need to post the issues I have kept bottled up inside me for so long; letting them out is good therapy.

That's why I post.

Scott, good question.

One which, fortunately (or unfortunately, as the case might be), that only you can answer, within yourself.

I enjoy it - there are some lovely people on this board

It is comforting to have found people who are intelligent and warm and who are willing to share their hearts and their pain. Many, many times over the years that I was in the Org I thought it was me who had the problem. Although I eventually worked through it and realized it was the Orgs failure and not mine, it is still nice to receive validation for my feelings on this board.

Why do I post? You never know what word or statement triggers people to change the way that they feel about themselves. Because we all come from different places and walks of life we all see and say things a little differently. Although I constantly question the value of my words to people (because there are so many great writers on the board), If one small thing I say makes someone avoid the self-berating/beating, that happens when you leave the Org, then I have accomplished something valuable.

we'll ALWAYS be xdubs

I disagree. We will remain xdubs only if we want to.

That part of my history is just that, history. I don't refer to myself as an xschoolgirl, xteen, x etc. you get the picture. The definition of yourself is what you are now.

I post cause life is so good on the outside of the Watchtower walls. I want the new ones to know that. I also have become quite fond of many of you here. I enjoy the comments and laugh and cry and share good and bad times. It takes a long time to get rid of those traits we were brainwashed with. We can all help eachother and so what if we feel better but stay with this board. Aren't we all good friends?
