What Brought You to Free Jinger?

[meep 1,522]

Back in the day, some people were talking about a "hateful" site. Finally one of my friends told me it was called "freejinger." I checked it out and I was ready to be defensive. But it sucked me in, I kept reading and reading. A lot of things started to make sense. And I was already having doubts. Periodically I would check in. About a year after deciding to leave, I created an account to join the board that helped me see the light. I just went back in my post history to check - looks like the Wissmann thread about Rachel & Alan's wedding was what first got me to post. 

Thank you FJ for everything.
No idea where or who I'd be without stumbling across this site.

I was a lurker for around a decade... I think I started when Josie was born? I was a poster on TWoP and then after the Duggar boards were closed I found the Yuku site. I started lurking more after reading about Autumn, then even more during Razing Ruth. I finally created a membership after the Anderson boards were made private, and that was almost two years ago.

Someone recommended the forum on YouTube comments, I think it was about either J-rapist or FLDS?? Or maybe a Google search?? In any case, boy was I glad to finally have a proper place to share my thoughts and read upon all of this stuff! I just checked and I joined very close to 3 years ago! Is there a way to find your old posts??

I am not actually sure where I first heard the name freejinger, but when I heard it, I thought it was an action plan to literally free Jinger, as in someone in ninja clothes would go to the TTH and steal Jinger away (I thought she had sent a distress message or something), and I kept looking for the event on facebook so I could click "participate" or "maybe", but I couldn't find it. Then I googled it, and found out it was a forum, and I just sorta stuck.

Go to your name on the top right and then click profile from the drop down menu.  On the right on your profile is a bar that says see my activity.

You can also get to your profile by clicking on your avatar in a post you've made.

Thank you @Coconut Flan!!

Oh my gosh, seems like I registered because I was so shook by Jill starting to break free - nose ring and pants and all!

So, I guess I started browsing FreeJinger about a half a year to a year earlier from J-rapist and FLDS stuff, just didn't register back then.
