Thank you all for the additional welcomes! I really appreciate it and feel like I am among friends and it is great to see how many folks are out there like myself, even though we may have different stories we were able to reach the same conclusion. The subjects discussed here are difficult to understand at times unless you have been there and done it so to speak. That being so, it is hard to discuss feelings with those unfamiliar with the JW ways, and it is nice to be able to exchange thoughts with ones that really understand.
