Time can heal, but not completely
by Maddie init's been a long time since i looked in here; even longer since i posted.
i don't recognise hardly anyone on the site now, but remember the support from posters when things were very difficult for me, as i made the decision to leave the watch tower.
it was a so painful not being able to have my jw son and baby grand daughter and not having them in my life any more and still hurts two years later, but it is bearable now most of the time.. i don't regret leaving because i couldn't live a lie after i knew it was a cult.

Reaching Out To Cult Victims
by Maddie insince leaving the wt i have been on quite a personal journey (metaphorically speaking).
i have managed to survive the emotional distress caused by being a jw, discovering it is a mind control cult, and all the consequences that ensued when i decided to leave.
i have been called an apostate and shunned by my jw son, which means i am not allowed to see my only grand child any more.

High Control Groups
by Maddie inthere seems to be very little in society that comes down to freedom of choice; by this i mean to be able to think and act in a manner that is completely without influence or manipulation from anything or anyone else.
it is true that a few individuals try to isolate themselves from society in different ways, but is their decision to do this influenced by experiences they may or may not be aware of?
we all like to believe that we have the option of deciding for ourselves what we want to do with our lives, but the odds are stacked heavily against this by the control mechanisms in our society.

Drug Study In The UK !!!!!!!!
by Maddie ini watched the horizon programme on bbc last night and it was an eye-opener.
a scientific study listed britain's 20 most used dangerous drugs in order.
not only did it show that the old classification system of illegal drugs is not a true representation, it shows that so-called legal drug such as alcohol and tobacco are high up on the list above some illegal drugs and result in many more deaths.
