Born in England, moved to Australia when I was eight. Would never like anywhere else! Hit and miss witht the Borg since I was a kid. My mum studied, I studied, then when I got married my ex wanted to become a JW. He liked it as a means of control, meaing I had to do what he said, and he got to do what he liked. I got sucked in for a while, then realised that exposure to the "Truth" would never change him. I refused to be a hypocrite like him, so didn't go to the meetings anymore. He was abusive and threatened to take the kids and hide, so I believed him. Eventually I grew as a person and he left. If I knew what I did I would have do it sooner. However my sons don't talk to me anymore. He messed up their lives too. Refused blood twice, after I faded accepted blood, and it did wonders for me. I believe it corrected something that was missing. Now just about to finish a degree, have a wonderful partner, and a great job. Now I love my life.
