One of my sons avatar names is 'broken puppet'.............he used that one when he first left the religion and he felt pretty lost for quite a while trying to become a REAL person (boy) again (Pinocchio).

Yes, the JW cult IS one of the worst products of human condition for sure Locutus! Learning personal responsibility and moving on ON OUR OWN and growing UP is just not within the framework of that cults mentality.

Disconnect one string at a time and flex those muscles of personal responsibility until you're moving freely with no strings attached. They just need to be used and limbered up Matt. We're always here for you as you already know. Hang in there.

Linda.........I don't think Matt has been to KH for years. That was a memory from teen years and yes, very abusive it was!  

Good song there BTW! 

Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.
