I think I might have. It's hard to say positively either way. However, the thought of having thousands of people with your back, could have gotten me out quicker.

For me it would've depended on my parents, since I'm only 18 now I just basically followed them religion-wise, but I'm pretty sure if mom had access to the info she has now I can safely say yes we would have been out sooner

The more I look on the net, the more I realize that I would have left years ago!

I'd like to think so - but the reality of it is - they call it "brain washing" for a reason. Until you're ready to hear the truth, nothing and no one can make you accept it. I had opportunity and desire (I was really really curious after Ray Franz was disfellowshipped), but I wasn't ready.

This is an older topic, and Im not sure if I have already responded on here in the past, but yes I would have left alot sooner. I already had doubts about it from the day I was born, I just didnt know where to look for answers. If not for the internet, I would still be a fence sitter to this very day, still waiting on Armageddon.

I hate to admit this, but although I considered researching jws on the net years ago, (late '90s), and had Internet access a good few years before that, (1995), I could never bring myself to do it then. It really took personal changes in my life to get to "wake up" to the point where I could freely research dubs on the net. Glad I did though.

No, I got out as soon as I reasonably could in any case. I was 15 then. Probably would have learned more earlier, but also learned enough to fade a little more gently. Still would be out by 15.
