Matt,

I had to look at your name to make sure I wasn't the one who posted what you had said. Your life sounds exactly like mine LOL. Throw in some Child molestation from my elder/ministerial grandfather and we could be twins image. I too was one who was willing to give up my life for my JW religion. I sat in a hospital bed for over a week bleeding internally while my parents patted me on the back for not accepting a blood transfusion. Eventually, my mother found a bloodless surgery clinic and I was rushed to it and they did surgery and saved my life. This was a clinic that was built to cater to JW's who would not take blood. I have no idea if it's even still around these days, it was in Southern CA back in the 80's.

So many other things that took place in my growing up, scary stories of bodies everywhere at Armageddon, one of which would be my mother when she died and went to heaven because she was one of the anointed.

Okay, enough of that! argh!

I am in Spokane WA, so not much help,. I pray you get a good group who can be there for you locally. I feel for your situation, West.

Ashton
