NEWBIES are leaving like crazy! Be very afraid WT (page 13)

clarity

It is ThanksGiving here in Canada where I live.

10:30 pm Sunday evening, October 13 2013.

>

I couldn't wait.

>

I am thankful for someone brave & special tonight

>

I have tears slipping out of my eyes rite now.

>

This is why ...........a dear 93 year old Grandmother is in pain.

>

Oddly, the very people she devoted 50 yrs of her life to,

have declared that she should be hated & shunned!

>

Shunned .......... by even her only grandaughter.

>

She is losing her sight now and just wants one more time,

to see her grandbaby's face!

>

Mary Lou is her name and she has bravely done a public video,

exposing the heartache that the Watchtower Society visits on those

who do not agree .........not an easy thing to do.

Only a few of us could do it .......that is how much love & guts

she has for her family!

>

So Mary Lou .......is first tonight on our Newbie List.

I know you will welcome her and a few other lovelies

who just joined in the last little while.

A very big welcome to JWN and warm HUGS go out to ............

A new JWNer

This is a heartwarming thread, Clarity! I'm a newbie too, registered 7 days ago. Been reading a lot the last couple of months and come here everyday. I've known TTATT for years now, thanks to a Dutch ex-JWboard, and a couple of years ago I thought I was done with the whole 'JW-thing'...

They kicked me out eleven years ago and I moved on with my life, struggling every now and then, had therapy with a lovely psychologist who helped me a lot to get my self esteem back on track, and I thought I was 'ready'... new life, forget about the JW's.

But it doesn't work that way. You can get the girl out of the cult, but the cult will always be part of the girl... at least, that's my experience. Since my whole family is still in there is this constant reminder of what's missing... caring parents, loving brothers and sisters, nieces, nephews, grandparents, aunts and uncles... they're all JW's, and some have faded but still judge me for living my life the way I want to live it. And that's a pain that doesn't go away. I can live with it, it's not a daily issue in my head, but it's a gap, a black hole in my life that can never be filled with other people... God knows I've tried that!

And so I've started reading on the Dutch board again and found links to JWstruggle and this forum... and it's really soothing to read other people's stories. I can relate to so many things I read, that I just keep on reading... it really helps. I've got a wonderful husband (never been a JW), and he listens to everything I want to tell about my past, but he could never grasp the tiniest bit of what I've been through growing up as a JW. And that's what's so wonderful of this forum, it's packed with people who DO understand, who had the same experiences as I did... and I'm very grateful for that!

Oh and the translation of my name is easy, since I live in Spain in the area they call the 'Costa del Sol' ('Coast of the Sun' or 'Sunny coast') and I'm a witch (yep, that's what I wrote, I'm a white witch) and the Spanish word for 'witch' is 'bruja'... there you go, I'm the Witch of the Sun, or Sunny Witch

Thank you for your lovely introduction & for your support

of Mary Lou on Bonezz's thread!

I hope you can let out some of your loss & pain on here, .....

in my journey now, there does seem to be some PTSD,

a bit like .......... a stain that doesn't quite wash out

Here's to another beautiful person who just found us.....

Sunny Witch, so good to read your post and thank you for that - i especially relate to what you said about how good it feels to find people who really understand what you've been through growing up as JW. My children and granddaughter have been through the wringer. I was not born in but like a poor schlub dummy, swallowed that love-bombing and joined up in my 30s.

Clarity, thank you for being alert to welcome new ones to the forum♥ Love to all you-alls!
