  let me just start off by saying wow.

  never thought the day would come i'd see myself write that kind of title.

  so, you may or may not remember me from my post a few weeks ago about my ex-jw g/f from europe wanting to see what a meeting was like in the states.

  how to help a loved one

  i come here today to ask for any thoughts on how i can help my girlfriend, an ex-witness.

  coming from a background of being raised in the "truth" from day one, and also suffering numerous bouts of abuse from an elder in her congregation as a small child, she seems to have now reached a point where she's simply dead inside.. i thought (foolishly, perhaps) that i could help her recover, "worldly" as i am, and not having been raised in such a religion, i believed i could help her learn that the outside world is not what she was raised to believe it to be; that there are good people out there, and a loving god as well.

  not one based on fear and hate.. unfortunately, as we've progressed through our relationship, i'm beginning to see the effects of the brainwashing used by the witness organization take its toll.
