That was a most amazing thing to see, I would have been too freaked out to have had the balls to be that calm and ask them questions and so on. You done good to have captured this and to see them lose the comfort of the cocoon they are in. When all is said and done they cant handle questions outside of the realms of WT rules, I bet as soon as they went on their way they decided you had an independant spirit for challenging gods representatives and assured themselves they did the right thing.

I really enjoyed reading your story! When we look back on our life's experience's although sometimes fun, happy, confusing, painful, its teaches us so much and we can look back and smile at it. A great series, cant wait for more!

i just had to share this with you all!

i posted earlier about getting some valentine flowers delivered out of the blue, well i work with my brother (an elder) at my parents house (mother is a jw), and its been hilarious seeing the way both of them have completely ignored the flowers as though they are invisible.

i'm not so cruel as to say 'seen my flowers?

I really feel for you, and can relate to the feelings of self blame. I think regardless of what happened to us, being in the Borg creates that feeling in a person, and i'm guessing your own experiences have magnified that even further for you. Its a catch 22 situation isnt it, you need people but they intensify the feelings you have due to the belief system they are in too. I think its worth remembering how it was to be under that mind control for them. They are not maybe in themselves bad people (though some most deffinitely are) but do things no sane person would wilst they are under that influence. One thing that you mentioned is you married your now husband, is he supportive and loving?, can you turn to him about this? To have just one person in your life that is special and can be trusted and be your best friend is enough. Often I find that part of a solution is talking about it, puting things into words can have the effect of sifting through and sorting things out, it doesnt remove the issues but can bring some needed relief and understanding, facing it head on, so the pain isnt so intense.

I have to admit ignorance to the condition, maybe you can explain more on that one please. Are you recently shunned from your loved ones? Do you have any other friends you can turn to during this time? Right now my own circumstances are that I have two distant people i'm friendly with and my two girls. I crave adult conversation and feel bottled up for the most part. I tend to throw myself into something to take my mind off it. Like Bible research, WTS research (helps to want to find out why one feels the way we do because of the Witnesses) and then other hobbies, sometimes I dont want to make any effort, but letting the mind wander often produces negative thoughts for me. In any case never feel you cant rant and talk here, your always welcome.
