Shiva
JoinedLeft JDubs 11 years ago at 20... I was one of the 'devout', child of converts who were/are very strong in it still. I was considered 'spiritual' - it was my whole life but I felt empty inside altho I believed it completely. I'm just about finding my feet in life for many psycological reasons but I knew I had done the right thing walking away and I never ever looked back. I still have family left in it tho and it makes me very sad and angry about the whole situation, being subjected to it with no say in the matter for so long, the entrapment of my parents at their most vulnerable time 31 years ago, and that when I had the brains to walk away along with my younger brother and a few years on my older bro (df) the rest of my family are still going strong and brainwashed and closed minded.
