    Congrats ness.

    I sort of envy you. While I've made MUCH PROGRESS in the past four years, I still have a mental connection between church and evil. It isn't something I can deal with on an intellectual level as I know how brainwashed I was. The indoctrination process is EXTREMELY POWERFUL. What I do have now, is a sense of worth and the belief that I'm going to FULLY RECOVER from WATCHROIDS. ROFL!

    just water! I had a full immersion which i always wanted. actually it was ironic, one of the ladies in the congregation who is absolutley a lovely lady said she was kind of wistful. she had been baptized as a baby but wanted to have had a full immersion as an adult like Jesus so it was her own action. The vicar arranged it in 2 weeks, they really are a lovely congregation.

    thanks for all of your wishes, and congrats too renee! abandoned, i am 37 now so it has taken me over 20 years to get this point, still think armageddon is coming when i hear thunder! keep persevering, it really isnt "false religion", i think maybe the witnesses are the ones with that as they dont take communion. it really is the most moving experience to accept the body and blood of Christ through the bread and wine. I feel so much closer to Him.

    Are you saying you got baptized in another Christian religion, or as a Witness?
