Just registered today after many months of being a silent spectator, hope to tell you a bit about myself in the days/weeks to come, but not just yet. One step at a time as they say. I have been helped so much by what I have read here, at first I expected to find bitter and twisted rantings, not so, you all seem very normal.

Welcome Peppermint. Yes, the people here are normal, in an above-normal kinda way. Take your time and make yourself at home. Looking forward to "step two". j

Welcome to the Board, Peppermint!
I also lurked a while and then finally signed on when I DA'd myself. This really IS a wonderful place for healing from JW hurts, and many of us consider ourselves damaged and not "normal", but what the heck is "normal" anyway?
I look forward to reading more of your posts,

Glad you decided to join in, Peppermint.
I have been helped so much by what I have read here, at first I expected to find bitter and twisted rantings, not so, you all seem very normal.
You are going to make a lot of friends here, with "normal" people. I spent 36 years in the org, 34 of them as a servant, but never felt like I fit in, like I was odd somehow. I thought I was the abnormal one. Now I realize I was never a good fundamentalist. I was the pork sausage at a jewish picnic.
Here if feel fine. I feel like you do, among normal people now.
Hope to hear more from you.
Steve
