Lady Lee	Re: JW's - fascinating
	Dan the JW life encompasses every facet of our lives - for years and for some - a lifetime. You can't walk away and be healthy if you don't examine it. We were denied so much of what is "normal" to most people. As we experience la life of freedom we often find that the past beliefs and behaviors smack us in the face. We are faced suddenly with a plethora of choices and decisions that before had been made for us - tidy little formulas for us to get through the day. Rules upon rules (but not rule - just "principles") When any victim of abuse first escapes the abuser there is often a need to get on with life and forget the past. Then they stumble along making many mistakes because the life choices they make are often based on a faulty way of seeing the world. The only way to not make those mistakes or at least minimize them is to get as much information (that was often denied us as a JW) as possible. I truly believe information is power. Those who seek to be informed will be able to make better choices in life. Learn as much as you ca. Read everything that will help your mind be free. You are defintiely on the right road. I think for many of us learning after leaving is like giving food to a starving man - it's just our minds were being starved on these JW "banquets" of pablum.
