The jw experience that we've all had here is unique to us even in out distance and separate ways we once spent many years in prison together and no matter where we go or what we do it will be our common thread. That imprisonment changed us and has made us what we are today others who have not been there will never really understand it. Believe it or not I'm one of those people who was contacted at the door when i was in my 30's looking for the meaning of life my experience was quite different than a born in. It made it easiar to leave because it was just an experience along the way that lasted a bit too long. This site is a special place of understanding and to use a word that I have come to loathe because of the organization "encouragement". Keep stopping in when you get a change your words are elegant and beautiful.
