    Hello and welcome to the board. Your story about your life as a JW is very similar to mine, except that I didn't get married. I almost did, to a JW, but I got out of that just in time, because I was on my way out anyway.

    Isn't it great to be free of the Borg?

    Two years!? Well, I'm glad you finally decided to take the plunge. How did it feel posting? I know I was a nervous wreck the first couple of dozen times or so.

    WELCOME!!

    Goofy, welcome!

    I'll have you know: before Xenawarrior infested this board with the Smurfies, my avatar was a great pic of Goofy

    I don't hate the Organisation or anyone in it.

    For a long time I felt the same way. This last year my feelings have changed, in no small part because of the incredible amount of personal suffering that I've read about on this board...suffering and pain dispensed from the "loving" hands of God's chosen channel of truth and revelation Now: I hate nobody I personally know that's in the org, but I do hate the org.

    Thanks for sharing your experience; I just shared back a little...sorry if I come across too strong.

    Again, welcome

    Welcome Goofy: Glad to have shared your experience. I remember one day, planning out the things I had to do, and thinking ," I have to be home by 5PM to get ready for Book study", when a wave of melancholy overcame me. Just the thought of enduring another meeting set off a bout of mild depression! And I liked the Book Study best! That was it. I realized that when even the thought of going to a meeting set off feelings of dread I was never going back. I never did and they never came looking.

    Enjoy your life and be true to yourself. I have found that when I am unhappy with me it is because I am not being true to my nature. I wish you peace, Maverick
