Welcome dave,
I too was raised a jw, left at age 18 and never looked back. I knew from a very early age that this was not for me. I also don't believe in Jehovah, or that there will be an armegedon, as for the rest of the WTBS bullsh**, it's all garbage to me.
Look forward to hearing more of your story.
Also, I have 3 boys (grown men, youngest is 17) and I refer to all three as "the boy" when they have pissed me off or done something stupid, has nothing to do with who fathered them!
