			<description><![CDATA[ Hello all,
<br>
Im new here and have been &quot;out&quot; for 4 years now. Without telling my whole life story I want to know what some of your thoughts are on dating and if
anyone else has this odd feeling I have about dating someone that has not had the upbringing I have (I was born into the witness world).....I guess I have alot
of head sorting to do but a brief relationship I had last year didnt work out and Im sure our massively different pasts had alot to do with it....
<br>
<br>
Thank... ]]></description>

could use your input on.
<br>
<br>
Recently, my husband and I were exposed as &quot;non-jw&#39;s&quot; , or a.k.a. , no longer attending meetings. We have pretty much been labled apostate by the
majority of those that know us and most all these &quot;friends&quot;, for obvious reasons have stopped talking to us. Or, at least I think they... ]]></description>

things meant <em>to us.

<br>
I&#39;ve found the farther away I get from my JW experience, the less I can recall about my childhood and my time in the group. There are a few things I
remember clearly, but I am having a harder and harder time placing memories in order, remembering where we lived and how old I was at the time..stuff like

because I have been trying to deal with memories of incest as well as very clear memories of satanic rituals and abuse. I also met another Ex-Jw in a treatment
center for abuse who was dealing with the same problem. Our memories and information were remarkably similar. When I tried to adress this with my family I was

<br>
<br>
Everybody on here that I&#39;ve read seems to be strongly in favour of keeping their Witness family and friends in their life once they leave- leaving as many
doors open as possible, and putting up with a lot of crap- angry emails, tearful and judgemental phone calls, even screaming sessions and efforts to undermine
their kids. I have gotten advice to never get DA&#39;ed, avoid being DF&#39;ed, and even lie to... ]]></description>

As I said before, I wouldn&#39;t be around much do to my new job and school. I&#39;ve been around reading, just too tired to post! And I&#39;ve really wanted
to post to some but am really just too tired. Not a bad tired, though. I love my job. School, well, we&#39;ll have to see how that turns out. It&#39;s tough
trying to keep up with being tired out from work.

the organisation its like they have no way to seek God.
