It’s awesome to get this support and to head from people who are/have been through this.

I very much believe in God.. I understand why some wouldn’t given the associated trauma…

Thank you Aude… I’ll try the zoom link for the Californian group!

Thanks Joao… it’s crazy isn’t it!? I find myself just shaking my head from time to time… hugs back bro.

Thanks Stan… I look forward to hearing from Smiddy…

Vanderhoden… I’m trying my best mate… thank you for your words of comfort…

Wow I’m overwhelmed by so many people interested in what I posted.

Thank you all.

In relation to how I woke up -

I watched a video my sister (then non JW) sent me that listed 19 things this ex-brother didn’t believe… I found myself shocked at some of them and clicked on more videos and then more videos and then even more videos… in the end (60 hours app. later) I found myself starting to believe that I had been lied to! And I was and still am absolutely devastated that I spent almost 50 years in a religion based on some fundamental lies!!

I became suicidal for a while and quite desperate actually because I didn’t know were to go next… my whole world dropped out from under me…

i bought the 1914 generations book, I stayed up late online researching every single doctrine to be sure… so I’m actually pretty exhausted in mind and body 😂

I did find this amazing group online that has international meetings on a Sunday and a Wednesday night meeting… this has quite literally saved my life (Borean Pickets is the name).

So now I’m looking for other online groups etc…

I’m just starting to find some equilibrium… some balance…

Cheers

Basically wondering if people know of anything happening in Australia and more specifically Brisbane re meetings/online groups etc.

Thank you,
