Thank you for your posts.
Another sad story in my life a childhood friend who left the JWs in my late teens committed suicide this year. I didn't add it to my original post it's been a bit now I think it is safe now to add. His mom is so torn up because right until his death he blamed the JWs for all his problems.
No it was more like 30% the drugs and booze were they rest.
I miss him though he was very distant at the end. It sucks being an adult in this world the way it is now. Especially if you don't fit in.
