Hey Beth! Man sounds like a ruff day! For me I had to stop the JW research. After I was confident it was not the truth I didn't need to learn more about there lies and cover-ups....it was to upsetting. The forum can do that sometimes when a terrible story comes across the board of abuse! Especially the abuse on women....it is hard to not get angry at the injustice we hear about.

For me....like you stated the forum is a group of friends. I have to check in everyday and see how everyone is doing and help where I can. For me this isn't a Ex-JW site it is a group of people I enjoy talking to online. I hope you can stay. I guess everyone is different. I thought I would stay a couple of months "recover" move on but I enjoy it here. The people are great and helpful and encouraging.

I hope tomorrow is better and you decide to say! Best of Luck!
