    Very well said, Kate.

    In addition to what keyser says above, this forum is especially sensitive right now. I've never known it as extraordinarily touchy as it is this week. Don't take things personally.

    There are people around who are crying "troll" so often and so loudly you'd think they'd never even heard the story of the boy who cried wolf.

    See what being a JW does to you. ;)

    i'm going to send you a PM shortly. Keep checking!

    Stay away from religion, in this case. Otherwise, you could easily get recruited into a destructive group. There are thousands of them out there.

    Are you getting treatment for your depression?

    Hi Kate...welcome back. I agree with leavingwt advice above and Witness My Fury.

    Hi Kate,

    My Mom raised me to be a JW. My Dad was never one. She told me that I couldn't be part of my Dad's life because he was part of Satan's world. I missed sooooo many years not knowing my Dad. After my husband and I left the JW's, I finally got to know my Dad. He was a loving man and I was cheated out of all those years with him. JW's will change your life forever and if you leave them......it will change your life forever again.

    Trust me.....been there....done that.....please be careful.

    I am currently researching many religions trying to find help/salvation.

    I am not studying with the jw's they are going to bring me a new world translations bible and a copy of the awake and watchtower magazines. I told them i didnt want to enter into a bible study at the moment, that i just wanted to study the material myself for now.

    That was yesterday i really thought someone would have been here today, so maybe they have forgotton me??

    "As i am very easily led at the moment."

    I'm not a psychiatrist or a religionist, Kate, but that statement worries me. A lot of people have been inducted into high control cults during periods like this.

    Go to the library and get some good books on critical thinking. They will teach you the skills you need to know if someone tries to scam you with a shonky religion or product.

    Ask yourself if you would be looking at Christian religions if your Mom wore a Burka?

    And if you are depressed, seek profesional help and don't get sucked in by the first opportunist that happens to knock on your door.

    Cheers

    Chris
