    "Hello. Tyleena, my best friend and also a xjw just joined so I though I too could use some support. I don't feel like rehashing why I am not there anymore. I just want to move on with my life and make good decisions I can for myself and my children. "

    "Hey, nice to know there are others like me looking to grow and return to the authenticity that our inner truths have been craving. I seek detachment from the conditioning I have recieved for over 25 years. I want to heal and become who I want."

    "Raised a j-dub - knew I'd gotten myself up crap creek within a month of baptism. Over a decade later, got a private reproof as opposed to the expected disfellowshipping, but moving on. Still learning how to extricate myself fully from the borg."

    "Raised J-Dub: did Bethel, pioneered, got married, obtained a divorce. Answered from the paragraph in my own words, whatever THAT means. What they call disfellowshipping , I call Graduation Day. It's okay that I was JW, but I'm glad it's over."

    "My parents became JW's in 1981 and my life has been full of conflict since then. I had been fooling myself and all around me, making all kinds of effort to be the best JW I could. I was just DF'd on Thursday night and I am now free. Free to live."
