whew!
sigh of relief!.
i don't know if this has been mentioned yet or not----but as the new opening page came up today when i first logged on here, and before i calmed down and actually *read* it (chicken-liver me---i was afraid to read it) i thought that this site had been shut down!!!!!!.

i dont know how i came across this forum but when i came to it i was so shocked of all the things being mentioned about the org.
i became doubtful of the recent decision i had made ( the big dip, which i kinda felt pressure to do but that's another story) also hearing about how jw are a cult really opened my interest.
so now that im openly informed ,im out in search of the truth behind the truth.
The Facts Blue Shadow, Just the Facts!!!

i've caught it...the "welcome bug" and you are all to blame.
when i posted my story on here everyone jumped in and said welcome, and that was probably the most healing thing i've experienced...or at least the first time in forever i felt good about a choice i made.
so i caught myself doing it today, see a newbie saying hello...and then i have to say welcome.then i asked myself...why?
Sorry am I as well wanderlustguy, as I also missed your opening thread, welcome to you as well.
hello to everyone, my name is esther and i am from australia.. i was directed to this website from my ex husband who also was a jw.
i guess in the truth we still are as we have not been df or disocciated ourselves.. i just wanted to say hi.
this is a great website, i had been brought up in the truth and had only decided to leave about 2 years ago, when my marriage was failing,i'm not a person who lives great by other peoples rules, especially when i dont agree with half of them.
So pleased that you could join us, welcome.

I welcome those newly in because it can be a pretty harrowing trip to get in the door in the first place. For me I was scared to death to even look for information about JW's on the net, and when I finally got here my entire world had been uprooted and tossed out of the window of reality regarding the truth about " The Truth ".
Coming in here so many are in such a state of shock that they need the warm welcomes and reasurrance that they are in an OK space and we, as a community are not of the devil but are attempting, even as they are usually, a necessary healing. To reduce the shock to the system new ones may feel when coming on board and to make them feel at home is why I welcome them.
last night, while lying in my pod meditating i began thinking about the following scenario: .
i'll imagine what my computer might look like to the more educated and mentally-agile members of past societies.. .
on my desk i have:.
As high up as we are in technology, it is humbling to see just how truly behind the times we continue to be, anybody see that new mobile phone advertised lately, looks about as thin as 3 credit cards, and almost as small, we've come a long way but were still light years in the past.
this site was recommended to me by someone on another ex-jw site i began frequenting recently.
anyway, i am an ex-jw who has been disfellowshipped for about 7 years now.
i was raised as a jw from the age of 4, didnt take to it until i was befriended by a pioneer who was an elder's wife, and she began a bible study with me because my mom ddnt have time to have bible studies with all of my siblings and me, there are 10 of us.
Welcome, I'm sure you'll feel at home here in no time
