  Quoting think41self:

  "It's kind of funny that we experience a grieving process over leaving old beliefs, isn't it? but they are such a part of your life...of YOU."

  I've never really looked at it that way, but this statement is so true! It's been a long 10 years since my DFing, but I still grieve over what was lost. I guess because it meant so much to ME - it's sad to realize that I didn't mean ANYTHING to the WTS. I still grieve and pray for those going through what I went through. May God bless them doubly!

  Briand,
  Thank you so much for sharing your insightful post! Interesting to find out there are other very controlling religions out there. I have been vaguely aware of it and even dealt with some people in them when I was still a Witness. One was the Worldwide Church of God. Some very scary things were happening in that religion.
  It is so great of you to share and understand what we are going through even though you have never been a Witness.
  Looking forward to hearing more from you!
  Billy Goat,
  I think that leaving JW's should be listed with the most traumatic things that occur in our life. Right up there with death and divorce!
