There were 78+ xJWs there from 3 or 4 different countries. It was so much fun and I have lots of pictures but as I look at the pictures there are some who have successfully faded and I sure don't want to cause by problems after so many years (can you say cult)!!!!!

Sanity, (brace for the hurricane ;-) )

The Florida "meet up" was in the panhandle, Panama City Beach. We had a great time, included a halloween party. Simon, Anghard and their kids came to visit from England.

Organize one for your area and see who shows up.

for those interested, this is the video of mouthy's (grace) funeral from september 8, 2016. https://youtu.be/yvmiwo0ycds.

thanks again everybody for the kind words about her - she will be sorely missed by our family as i know she will be by many of you too!

Thank you for sharing her memorial.

Condolences to her family.

I met Grace in PA, at one of the conferences she attended after "chatting" with her via internet. She was a remarkable woman and helped hundreds of JW's leaving the cult.

She will be remembered in my heart.

Help Please - Finding It Hard Adjusting To The Real World

by pale.emperor in

im asking for you guys help in a phase im going through right now.

im sure it’ll pass but id appreciate your advice..

born in, my family consists of mum, dad, two brothers and two sisters.

I went and saw Snowden this weekend. Not to minimize your feelings because you are right, we go through a tremendous amount deprogramming from a cult. But seeing how a whistleblower is being treated by a mighty nation, ostracized to a foreign country, may help put in perspective your situation and realize there are others enduring worst situations.

Unfortunately it takes time to heal. And it doesn't help that you are continually dealing with family and friends still stuck in the cult. Give yourself permission to grieve and explore what is out there without guilt.

All I can say is it does get better.

a couple weeks back my husband got a phone call from his brother, whom he hasn’t spoken to in nearly 17 years.

well i take that back, he did speak to him at the family reunion, asking him to leave.

my husband basically told him to f off, he would leave when he’s darn good and ready, but he didn’t use the word darn.

Last time I set foot in a KH was for my father's funeral (2003) It helped A LOT to have partaken of some peach schnapps in the parking lot 😊 Really helps with the "who cares" attitude and keeps a slight smile on your face 🍸
