@clarity I do have a life to live gratefully. Putting the past behind me is not easy. I am trying to do so. I understand that there are other Ex-JW who left later than me. I know it hurts worst in that case.....to lose a big portion of your life to that cult. That's another reason for my rant. I feel bad not just for myself but the others.
@princecharmant They were ordinary people before celebrities. Their experiences weren't different than most people who never been in a cult. They may have had strict parents in some cases, but not like most of JW teens have. In my case, I know that some of the things I didn't experience was mainly my fault but still...being a JW aided to my lack of normalcy.
@Aussie Oz I do need to move on. I making a effort to but it's hard to escape from this witness past....it's harder than I thought. I'm making a drastic change soon, by moving out of state and away from a majority of links to my past.
