Whoa Solace..........

ease up on yourself a little bit! If you were stood back lookin in on your life and experiences, I am sure that you would not expect someone who has had the constant pressure of a religion such as the JW's, to leave and simply take up the reins of life with no doubt or backward glances....

Finding out that what you were taught and truly believed is a load of lies and half-truths is a very difficult thing to come to terms with

Don't forget our whole reason for existing was tied into the religion, our futures were mapped out for us, and our isolation from 'the world' completed the mind control image

At the moment you may feel 'adrift' in the world, but give yourself credit for being brave enough to face up to the real truth, and take action regarding that knowledge.........there is no need to rush into any religion - give yourself time to heal from the past, enjoy the fact that the 'end' is not just around the corner, and practice enjoying life today :-)

We are all struggling with our identities because of our pasts - that is why this site is so invaluable to us all!! I am sure that in time, talking about your feelings with others who understand will help you find your direction

Glad to have you here
Hugs
