    I just wanted to say thank you to Winston Smith for all the fantastic posts he's made over the last year and a half. For anyone who is new to the board or if you're just beginning to lurk you simply must check out his topics.

    Winston updated us on his situation in life with clarity and feeling. He is the poster that really made me realize I was in a cult. I promised myself that whenever things are tough at home or if I'm feeling down about my fade that I would re-read his topics. I spent the morning doing that and it really helped.

    Again, if you weren't on the board then (or lurking like me) please go back and check Winston's topics out. He really discusses his situation in a step by step format and you can get a real sense of how your spouse, the elders and your spouses's jw support network works.

    I know that you don't post as much anymore and that in a lot of ways you've moved on, but I wanted to thank you for all you did. Your posts have done more good than you will ever know.

    Hi The Listener,

    Thank you for those heartfelt words. When I was posting here on a regular basis I was just awakening from my slumbering, comatose cult life and needed to vent and heal my soul. I fully believe that this forum "fast-tracked" my healing process from the high-control publishing company. Thanks are due to Simon and others for forming this venue and keeping this halfway house of healing available for all of us. Truly a labor of love.

    When posting, one doesn't think of, or even fully comprehend, the permanency of one's conversations that are held here in a public forum. It's great to know that the healing process that benefited me can help others as well.

    Love truly is reciprocal , isn't it? It's one thing that I am learning in the world, that the Love you sow truly comes back to you one-hundred fold.

    I'm touched that you found benefit from my exit, and with your kind words and heart I have no doubt that you will be aided in your healing as well.

    Winston

    ...April..I have no idea how your ass managed to escape me. From what I hear, you may have been one of the lucky few that night
