not quite a week ago, @lost in the fog created a thread entitled: do you have this illness?.
https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5187824140681216/do-you-have-this-illness.
in my year of being on this forum, i have browsed many a disillusioned thread of ex-jehovah’s witnesses expressing similar symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder when detailing their awakening - my own story included.
I love reading these interactions!
It shows the genuine and sincere support we all have for one another.
reading some post on here today has me wonder ing if there is some others out there that understands the duplicet fickle person i am on the inside.
i was brought to the kingdom hall 3-4 times a week.
to this day i have an aversion totuesdays.
Welcome!
Also, Great post PE! Good advice and guidance.
in the months or years since leaving the organization, how do you think you have progressed as a person?.
(or if you have regressed too i guess?).
what aspects of personal development are you happy with?.
Wow. All the comments shared here are so heartening!
There seems to be a real theme of all of us becoming kinder, less judgemental of others, and HAPPY.
Please keep the comments coming.
For any lurkers or newcomers to this forum, please feel free to share. Also, please see that as we all grow apart from the infantilised state of being under the control of the Society, life gets oh so much better!
im not sure if anyone has posted this before?
(sorry if so).

i live in a very rural part of the northeastern united states.
after 9 years of waiting, the local witnesses are getting their new kingdom hall.
it is being built on a back road next to a sandpit.
And, here is the Society's very own example of the new "fast-food" style KHalls:
https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/activities/help-community/kingdom-hall-your-community/
alright, many of you know me from the this jw life and shunned podcasts along with my inane ramblings on here.
i just made my first video and put myself out there on youtube along with my podcast episodes that are on there now.
i put my podcast audio up on there as videos and new people are subscribing and finding it through that.
Every new video and activist helps expose the cult more and more!
I say, everyone should take the plunge in some way, shape or form!
Thanks for the inspiration Mike!
