    thanks paulj, i know what you mean about the matrix i sat at the hall last night listening to things like 'even tho jehs day is later than we may have thought it should not deter us from preaching and staying completely loyal to the organization' and i couldnt stand being there!

    so i know i just cant go back i will keep on reading cofc (im about a quarter of way thru) and ill try and get that other book, it prob seems wierd that i am trying to find out things that will ultimately hurt my family even more (which im not quite sure i can do) sometimes i wonder should i not just go back and live my life for them, but i just dont think i can stomach going back! tho i was alittle scared last week in that storm!

    mental isnt it, but im so glad ive met people like you who have been thru it and are happy now, well done

    I guess i was fortunate enough to have family that didnt pressurise me into doing something i didnt want to do. I cant imagine how difficult it must be for you. All i can say is tho, the moment i decided to leave it felt like huge weight off my shoulders.

    I miss my family that remain JW's, but since joining this site i feel so much better- knowing that im not displeasing Jehovah by not being a Witness.

    Good on you !!!!!!!!!!!

    Do you still get those huge "relief moments" - something happens and you think ' thank god I made it out ' Enjoy the "new" life.

    LOL its been AGES since i was called that!!!

    To answer your question, yes absolutely. Every time i think about life as a witness i wince, im so glad to be free from it. I wish i had my dad and my brother with me.... but who knows what the future brings???

    Well I think you are all cute!! and reflect the 'love' that we should have found as JW's. I am still struggling to come to terms with all these revelations, but I am so happy that Paul has found contentment!!! Thanks to all of you that have helped him get there!!!!

    Sometimes I used to get nervous if there was a really bad thunderstorm.... i little voice in my head told me it could be the end.

    I used to react the same way,oh the anixety I used to have.
