I left the cult way too late in life. But here I am. I'm done with the first phases of becoming an atheist and settled in. Just want to find like-minded people. Nice to meet you.

Welcome! Join the fray!
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
Welcome aboard.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Welcome.
Some years back a new coworker (who became a great friend) had recently left the JWs. It was a terrible experience for her but she made it through with help from friends and a bit of therapy. Hopefully you too can move forward to a happier life. ![[Image: MmQV79M.png]](https://i.imgur.com/MmQV79M.png)

I'm done with the first phases of becoming an atheist and settled in. Just want to find like-minded people. Nice to meet you. My parents were inactive JWs. I was heavily indoctrinated by my mother, even listening to the tapes of the horrid bible story book. When I was 13, I saw someone die. He was cute, nice, and I had had a crush on him from the second I saw him. It was devastating. I started praying. Then, my JW grandparents found someone to study with me. I should mention I was also homeschooled. So, JWs were my only community. I got out just by letting myself think critically for the first time in 25 years.  RE: Former JW

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
