Welcome to the group!
I have never felt more free of anxiety and at peace then I am today.
Me, too. This is the feeling that came over me when I realized I would never go back. I can still remember it; wonderful!
I also know what it's like to have no one to share these feelings with. It's like your entire past just drops off a cliff. I've had a wonderful therapist, too. And I finally have made contact with two people from my past who left the org. This may happen for you.
Again, glad you're here. Emma

Wow~thanks for such a great welcome! You have make it easy to feel at ease here. I know, Edge, I have been a member for a few months but just never had the courage to jump in. After talking to Doug, I felt I just had to introduce myself. I guess I am hoping in addition to being helped maybe I can in some small way help in someone else's journey to thinking for themselves. The guilt is mostly in the past at this point. It is said that "time heals all wounds" I guess that is true here too. The more time that goes by, the more complete I feel.
Yesterday, Doug and I were discussing missing out on the people that were our friends before leaving the org. It was such a thrill to reconnect with one of the cool people from that era. I told Doug in my original email," I remember you were always so kind to me, and I really appreciate you and your kindness. I remember you coming out to the car one Sunday after my mother had beat me down and pulled me by my hair out the Kingdom Hall...whew...but you were so kind. The only one who ever said anything to comfort me from the Kingdom Hall. Your compassion is still remembered."
I guess we just never know how our kindness can affect anothers life. Cause to tell you the truth, just his concern was enough to keep me sane at that time.
Anyhow, thanks again for the welcome. Let the good times roll!

Damn, INTOO, you brought a tear to my eye! I guess one doesn't always know when they make a difference.
I had no idea that you had already discovered JWD. Maybe I missed that in our conversation. I'm glad you posted.
