Well done suprised2bhere. You've woken up now which is a fantastic start and this site is a great place. I actually only found this place a good few years after leaving the org but it proved a real eye opener.
I'm based in the UK but made some amazing friends both here and in America.

two former jehovah’s witness elders have called for mandatory reporting of child sexual abuse, saying the organisation believes it is “answerable only to god”.. duncan corbett, who was an elder for 18 years, told the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse that the protection of minors and the handling of abuse claims must be taken out of the church’s hands.
“let them deal with the sin and the authorities handle the crime,” he told a hearing in london.. lloyd evans, another former elder who now campaigns against religious fundamentalism, said: “this is a group that feels they are answerable only to god … they don’t feel as though they need to yield to any regulations that are imposed on them.”.
What inquiry was this for?
my old account was silent and i had to create a new account which kind of bums me, but here i am.. over the years i've really experienced some rough times emotionally and spiritually which led me down many paths.
being angry most all of time with a few outbursts really started to make me take stock of what was wrong with me.
further i started really going back and trying to figure out where i went wrong.. so i revisted all my previous posts on here.
I rarely post on here but read daily and i can honestly say this is the saddest post.
Silent, look after your mental health mate. No one else will.
how is everybody spending their lockdown time?.
i've been furloughed from work (forced "annual leave" with pay which doesn't affect my regular annual leave) for the past 2 months so i've had lots of time free to do whatever.. i've spent the time productively by doing all those things i've said i'd get round to doing "one day":.
learning french.
Ive been flat out mate,

Apparently this is essential.
Ditto, this dosent need any alternations. Nice work.
