Dezza,
Welcome to the board. I am sorry you have had such a hard time. Just know you are not the only one.
It seems that each find his own way to recover and takes the steps at their own pace. I can only say to please not take this cult out on God, but try to seperate the two. The JW religion is not God. It is what it is..... a religion.
Post and vent all you need.
agape love, Gold_morning

Hello Dezza from West Cornwall, my names Mark, can relate, felt like shite the whole thing, true too, I felt like a right freak at school and also developed adverse mental reactions due I believe also to JW upbringing. I agree too that its a load of crap, totally, I'm with you on this one. Now? I am ten years further down the road and life has improved all the way. Sure, at first it felt like the loneliest experience on the planet being disfellowshipped and all, but here you have found many others who can really relate to your own story and personal experiences. Know that you can get in touch with me absolutely anytime, either by pm, or mobile 07870 493238, I'll always do my utmost to stand by you, give you reassurance and emotional support. Of course, if ever you need to visit, this can be arranged too. There is a bbq in 10 days or so at Englishmans home in Weston super Mare in Somerset, there you will meet many others who can relate, it would be excellent to see you there.
My kindest regards and best wishes be with you!!
