I appreciate so much you providing the kind of conversation, wisdom & help you bring to people. Your sincere warmth and caring really comes through and that in itself provides comfort and healing. You are providing a valuable service. On another note, my background is German and German was my first language. You look like you could be one of my family members too - and that makes me smile! 😊💕

Thank you ☺️ it means a lot to hear this.

Your point regarding the importance and power of taking tiny steps really is true. In my own experience I would start with such a small goal that it there was no excuse for not doing it. I would make the goal so small that I called it "idiot proofing" myself from failing to keep tiny goals. 😂 It works!

It’s the only way. Baby steps

absolutely having no one to tell you what to do is equally freeing and debilitating when you have no idea who you are, just who you wanted to be which was in the image of watchtower.

It would be great to have a local exjw group

Where do you live ?

I've heard people label any individual who expressed a little style or too fun a personality as being eccentric. Looking back I thought there was nothing outlandish about them at all. They were very mild compared to real eccentric personalities.

I got indoctrinated in Germany I’m from QLD Australia and was living there 2 years. I remember standing on the corner in the snow with a Bub in pram with the mags, the young pioneer brother with told me how ugly my baby was 🙄 who says that I just put it down to he’s not quite all there lol I’m still in contact with the couple that studied with me 37 years ago. I woke up 2013 and spiralled out of control, until I found Utube and ex community im picking up the pieces after going back in so I can at least communicate with my kids still in. I was a single mum so I soo get what you mean Monika how were seen less that the lesser ones. I’m in a great place in myself now and doing what I want to do and loving life very grateful to be alive. WT is disappearing any way and more and more people rolling their eyes at the BS I’m making friends outside and in new cong not like before I woke up. Anyway a rant you guys are all doing great job in helping people put piece’s together so we all can recover quicker Thankyou 🫶🏼✌🏼💃💕
