JoinedI'm 23 years old, and have been disfellowshipped since I was 19 years old. I have non-JW family on my father's side but because of being raised a JW, I was alienated from them from a very young age. The only family and support group I've ever known has started to shun me quite completely, though a couple of cousins still make attempts and my parents still obviously care about me very much. I'm an artist, currently wavering in even knowing remotely what to do with my life, trying to work up the courage to go to art school, and trying to face the concept of moving on with my life. I thought it might be helpful to talk to others who have been or are in my position, though I'm still terrified of being an 'apostate'. Heaven help me.
