    Hi.

    Im new to the posting-part of this forum and was wondering if there´s any other ex-witnesses from sweden in here?

    I´v been reading a lot of the topics here and I have to admit it have helped me to start seeing the bigger picture. It took almost a whole year as a ex-borg before I grew the courage to start reading "apostate" information. The psycological damage this experience have done is hard for many to understand, but it feels good to be on the other side of the fence now.

    Feels good to be where I am now, although I feel I´v lost some guidence in life. Its a scary feeling when your whole security-net is gone and everything you were rasied to belive is wrong

    Anyhow, Im looking forward to making your accuaintance. Take care alle

    Alex, welcome to the forum. I have been here for less than a month myself and have found it to be helpful in alll the ways you mention.

    I can sure relate to how you feel, as can many contributors here. Kind of like a ship without a rudder. It feels strange to have all this freedom after being part of an organization that controls every little thing you do, say and even think. Hang in there - with time the insecure feeling fades away and instead you will feel empowered to take control of your own destiny and really enjoy your life!

    You will find support, opinions and advice here. Take what works for you and leave the rest. Everyone is coming from a different set of experiences and has their own perspective on life in the wts.

    Good luck!

    Well... long story... but I had an email friend in Örebro (ongoing for about 10 yrs) who got me to go to a meeting here in Canada last year... Soon saw it for what it was and here I am I keep hoping he'll get out, but it's not likely... He won't talk to me anymore, I'm a "bad association"

    Not I, though I have Swedish friends here in Australia. I can certainly relate to your experience, nice to have you here, Mattieu.
