Perhaps you have been reading this board for awhile, and you may believe some of the things we have been saying, however you are still gripped in fear of Armageddon.
The WT Society has been predicting Armageddon for well over 100 years, and when the prophecies fail, they blame you and say "we never said that"
If I can impart any words of wisdom to you, it's just this:
Get out, any way you can. Try to salvage your family if possible. If you have kids, then it's extremely important you escape with them, and never go back.
I was taught their lies from infancy, and it nearly destroyed me in the process. Im still dealing with the financial/marital after affects. This cult can do major lifetime damage. It destroys childrens minds, it burdens them down with anxieties that no child should have to suffer.
Please get out and save your childrens sanity before they are damaged.
The WT Society has been proven a liar, by their very own literature.
Wake up and look at the mountain of evidence, it is piled up toward heaven.

i wonder how many JWs do actually lurk though...often the lurkers who become posters seem to say they had already left the borg anyway. There never seem to be all that many who are active dubs who become posters...

Hello. I admit I am a lurker. I finally got up the courage to register and post.Athough being told that I shouldnt read or be involved with any of this. I will give you some history of myself.I have been a JW since childhood and now have children of my own. I cant help feeling lately that I have been Duped for most of my life. Now that I am an adult and am thinking on my own I see some cracks in the truth. My biggest reason for not questioning things sooner is fear of losing my parents again. I was Df'd a while back for being with my husband before he was my husband. But I went back basically to get my family back.I dont know where I am going with this but I basically just want to say that you people here have answered more questions for me than any one else. And although I feel guilty about being here I do feel better at the same time,,,,does that make sense? Well I guess you can guess why my name is lost%confused :)

Hi lost&confused - welcome
And although I feel guilty about being here I do feel better at the same time,,,,does that make sense?
Yes that makes sense. I remember when I first started looking at sites such as this one, every 5 minutes or so I go to the window to see if any members of my family were back - whew. The guilt, the paranoia.
Glad you are feeling better about it.

WELCOME LOST AND CONFUSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was an active JW lurker and so is my friend who found me on here. When I found out about the vaccination theory stuff, I didn't believe it. I was flabbergasted.

I'm a lurker, have been for a while. Still a witness who attends the meetings. But mentally and emotionall far removed from it. The propaganda bounces off me like bullets on a tank.
Trust me, there are many who KNOW that its all wrong, 4 people in my congregation alone are closet "apostates".I even know of a presiding overseer who thinks that 1914 is a joke but his family are all witnesses, so ............
I see things polarizing even further, just you wait till 2008 when the witness only mags come out. I think they are in trouble and they know it.

Hi lost and Confused, Welcome.
Just keep visiting here. in time the feeling of guilt will subside. It is a feeling that has been imparted to you by men who do not want you to know.
@topic: Junction-guy: good call.
Cheers

Welcome lost and confused. Im glad you are enjoying reading this site. Many people here have went through the same things you have, you are in good company. I realize I may sound bitter at times, along with other posters here, but so many of us have been affected by this, some are left emotional wrecks. Try not to feel guilty about being here, there are many things you can learn here, things that the JW's dont want you to find out. Once again welcome, and if you have any questions, then feel free to ask. Dave
