Well you can certainly write now.

So sorry that you have to go through all this. When we leave it really is like we're children, and have to figure out the world, but we've got no time to do it. An astonishingly tough transition. So is it any wonder that the Witnesses have all these "horror" stories of people who left the Borg and had terrible lives? Of course they did! The JWs prevented them from being prepared for a life in the real world!

Everyone here definitely understands where you're coming from, and we're here to help you in the healing process if we can. Nice to meet you, look forward to hearing more from you.
Yes it really is like star trek your in a whole different world in the JW cult. I have to learn how to be human all over again in the real world. Sometime I will talk to someone and they will ask me something like remember the prom days or playing with neighbor hood kids as a child and I will just break down in tears because I have no memory of any of these things; my childhood is gone forever. I'm trying to go and make friends but a lot of people don't get me because I grew up in such a different world it's hard to find people that I have things in common with. I really hate the JW religion because all it does is destroy lives; almost like a Nazi regime in the fact that it is so separatist. Where do I go from here? how do I find people in my city that will be my friends? those are the questions I struggle with everyday.
