  Saint John, New Brunswick...I lived there for a year back in the 70's and the smell of the pulp mill sulfur was sickening.. People told me that I would get used to it but I never did.

  Wishing the best outcome for you tomorrow. It is scary to not know what is going on but it is also frightening to undergo some of these procedures. You need peace of mind and I hope you will get some tomorrow.. Keeping you in my prayers tonight..

  Are you making progress?

  we're all in different stages of exiting the jw organization.. how do you feel about where you are at today, compared with a year ago?

  do you see positive growth in yourself?

  or do you feel stagnant?.

  what a great question! " I have come a long way, baby".. I have been through many stages of the "leaving. Fear, denial, anger, sadness, relief, and happiness. I am so thankful that I am out.. I feel like a survivor. It will take many years, maybe never to fully recover but the journey is so much more pleasant now. I love not having the guilt...of never doing enough, being enough, always trying over and over to prove myself a good enough person. The things that I did back then.. I try not to go there! As far as my spirituality goes, I am searching, searching. always.. terrified to step in the water in case I get sucked in again. There is a piece of me missing someplace. I truly believe in God and Jesus Christ and I pray that I will find my way back to them. Time is the only healer... and I am healing. I am grateful to this board and all of you here. Although I don't post often, I read almost every day and I feel it was by being with you all here and hearing your stories that I have accepted that I too can become exactly who I am and be proud of it.. I have wonderful family and the support of my best friend and I am blessed to have found my way out..

  i'm just going to start at the beginning.. i was anticipating the memorial all day.

  i was nervous but excited, kind of like standing in line for a roller coaster.. ok. so erika gets ready at her house, and i get ready at mine.

  i'm wearing a black suit with a light green shirt, and a tie that had hues of green and yellow in it.

  Great post, Richie. You really should write a book someday. I am sure it was good for you to go and show the "friends" that you are making it on the "outside". You are supporting yourself and have a lovely lady on your arm. Hang in there and all the best to you and Erica. Love Arwen
