The only ones messed up after they leave are the ones who tried to leave without a mess and the congregation gave them one anyway. Plus the getting through the indoctrination the Jws caused.

Princess is a doll, and very smart, with a brilliant, talented, gorgeous husband. (just building everyone up, here)
DB: I haven't seen the Mulan movie!! I picked the name because it was kind of similar to Marilyn, my real name. At the time, I wanted to be anonymous. Now I think I should have picked "Melon". Lots of people call me that, anyway. I also used to say that people who left the organization, ended up with messed up lives. I kept waiting for it to happen to my brother, 25 years ago. He was messed up when he got out, BECAUSE of them. THEY caused the death of his wife (blood issue)!!

G'day Princess and welcome. Guess you really have been here a long time, eh? Just couldn't find a voice. Bit shy, I suppose. Never mind, you know the ropes. It's a happy happening house. So enjoy. Look forward to reading your posts. Guess you've made your mom proud today. Mom's are like that!
Cheers,

Welcome, Princess! Glad to meet you! I walked away in '96, found the info on the internet and never looked back. My kids (three older daughters at that time and one infant daughter) followed me out like ducklings, and we've never been happier.

Hi Ozzie........yep.....I'm a proud Mom. I have three sons too!
I doubt if they will post though.One is a 'Christian', God help us. ha ha ha. Very sweet young man though.......getting married next month to the Pastor's daughter......deliver me, PLEASE!!!
Just remembered: My husband has a sign in his office that says "Jesus, deliver me from your followers". Funny, eh? Okay, all you Christians out there. Don't jump all over me. Think about it and you will understand what it means. We just HATE being proseletyzed. (I know that must be spelled wrong)

Oh mo-om! (to be read in an embarrassed tone)
Yes Ozzie I suppose I am shy although a lot less than when I was a witness. I held back from posting because I was unsure if it was right for me! You are all so nice and friendly though, with similar experiences so I wanted to join the fun.
Thanks again to you all for such nice comments.
