Hey tall penguin, thanks for sharing that story. I love an epic with a happy ending (so far!).
I don't know how long you've been reading the board, but I hope you'll feel right at home soon.

Welcome. Your story is upsetting and I am sorry you had to deal with these...sadly typical JW things in your life. I am sure you will find much comfort and understanding on this forum.

Hello Tall Penguin,
My husband, Thinker, pasted and copied your story just so I could read it. He described it as a composite of all the terrible JW saga's he has heard. I couldn't have described it better myself.
Thinker has never been a Witness, I was raised as one, and left when I was forty. What a wonderfully blissful last six years I have had.
Until just recently, I didn't really appreciate that my family shunned me. My brother (not a witness) passed away suddenly and unexepectedly May 17. My family put aside the rules for awhile and have been in contact with me. Has not been very pleasant. I have decided to shun them.
Anyway, thanks for sharing your very familiar story. And I am so glad you are healing and feeling better. As time goes on, it will become even better.
Glad your parents are supportive.
