wings---------------------- Welcome!
I won't be this long winded in the future.
Long-winded is A-OK.... Goodness knows voices have been silent regarding WTS stuff long enough............!
I have realized that there is no place in the witness society for suffering humanity. If you are not set up to preform in the system, then you are just there so others can show their forbarence. At a distance I might ad. My only real support during this time came from my non-witness family. My witness family was down right oppressive. They didn't understand mental illness, and if it wasn't in the publications then they didn't need to know. My son just needed to straighted up.
Ahhhh...buck up!! They react this way over physical ills too....especially ones that are hard to understand. Oh--and abuse...let's not forget about the overwhelming UNDERwhelming JW response to abuse...!
(Kidding about the 'buck up' part.) I totally know what you mean about the above. Unfortunately, too many of us--and of those still on the 'inside'--do also. We look forward to hearing more from you and expect there a mutual exchange of encouragement here....
