  How did you long-timers do it before the internet / Ray Franz books / abundant information?

  with all the tools and information at the disposal of newly awakened ones, it's still no easy task coming to terms with the magnitude of it all.

  it still takes a lot of gut-wrenching time and effort to get to the point where you are sure you made the right decision to leave.. .

  how did you long-timers (old-timers, respectfully) manage it without crisis of conscience, christian freedom, jwn, jwfacts, freeminds, access to thousands of fellow survivors with stories just like yours?.

  I left in 1998 at the age of 23. For me it was a feeling of hiding who I really was and being tired of living my life to please others. I was a 4th gen born in and I simply DA ed without ever knowing about Ray Franz or any website. I was on my own for a really long time and felt very alone. Thankfully I had a really great friend who helped me and taught me a lot about life. If not for her I probably would have gone back even without believing in god. It has taken me a long time to really start living and going back to school is a huge part of that.

  I have made 3 really great friends at school, one of them posts here because she is an EX JW as well. One of the other two friends I made at school plays werewolf with a bunch of EX JW's on another board. He was never a JW but he fits in like he belongs because he understands what it is to feel like you can't be honest with the people you love for fear that they won't love you anymore. He also listens to me and my EX JW friend talk about the JW's and he just gets sick when he hears how it really was for us on the inside. I inroduced him to my EX JW friend and now they hang out and talk as well. It's like a great circle of friends. Another thing is that the few friends that I did have while a JW are now out as well and I've managed to keep in touch with my best friend growing up. My third friend doesn't know I am an EX JW. We just get a long really well and talk about normal stuff. In fact I saw her today for the first time in a long time at school and we caught up. It was really nice.

  Personally, I think that for a lot of us it really is a matter of finding people who understand or sympathize with you. That is not easy, but putting yourself out there gets easier the more you do it. Finding friends is easy if you have something in common.

  My computer has a camera on it. It should be on the right side of the screen, just remember to save it to the picture library.

  It doesn't matter if we have been DA ed, DF ed, or faded. Just like Sparlock we have all be thrown away by our friends and family. They didn't want to, but just like Caleb, they were guilted into it by mother WTS. We have all been Sparlocked.
