Hello Forum,
I am amazed at this forums respose to my "never have been a jw" girlfriend, Juanita. Through her persistance and the kindness of her heart she led me here. I was staggered to come to the realization that others share the extreme pain of recovering from years of mind control not to mention being "shunned" by family members. Damn, it does hurt.
I was a Witness for over 20 years and have a lot to share, not to mention a lot of animosity that I need to expel. Those who posted back to Juani made me realize what a heavy burden I was putting on Juani (Juanita, Candles of Light). It was a slap in the face that I needed. Wake up time! I will do my very best to be a positive contributor within this forum.
It took me awile to figure out what was going on in this Forum, but after reading post after post till the wee hours of night, I became convinced that this is the place for me.
