I have stopped believing what the jws taught me in my youth for many years now. I survived abusive jw parents, elders, and my guilt for not believing what i was raised to believe. I watched my brother die because he would not accept a transfusion. I am now alienated from my family and feel very alone right now. Thank god i found this sight, at least some of you understand how damaging membership in this organazation truly is.

Oh my gods, that's GOOD.

Welcome to the site, recovering. So sorry to hear about your brother. I have one and can't imagine what it would be like to lose him because of the cult. Well done for rescuing yourself, and all the best with your continual recovery.
If you'd like to post an introductory topic do, of course, feel free. -
