But if you all here know that this is fact, then why do so many join and continue this satanic bs? The only way to stop this s%$t is to break free. Otherwise you that are still in and continue to allow the WT to flourish. This is too corrupt to allow to continue. I urge those still in to make changes to your lives to move away from the lies, the deceit, the pain.

Otherwise you that are still in and continue to allow the WT to flourish. This is too corrupt to allow to continue. I urge those still in to make changes to your lives to move away from the lies, the deceit, the pain. I can only answer from my own personal observation and that is that it is easier said then done. For me, I HAD NO CHOICE. I was born into the JW religion. From the time I was born that was it, I was so indoctrinated that I wasn't even allowed to associate or talk to people that were not witnesses. When you are raised like that, your formative years arranged, your entire family or both sides believe this, can you imagine how hard it is to even question something in your mind? It took me years to even question it. Imagine now that you know some of it is BS and you start realizing that it's pretty much all a lie, you have to look at your entire support system; your family, your friends, your whole way of life and consider starting over. There are plenty of people that don't have the strength to walk away because it would be losing their friends and family and on that alone, they would rather stay knowing they believe different. The only thing I can even start to compare it to is in the Matrix when Neo wakes up in the "real world". You shiver, you are chilled, you need to rest and figure out to program your mind and brain to think differently. You have to start over completely, lose people that you love sometimes more than your own life (family) and find new friends - which adds up to a lot of time being alone. I agree with you about urging people to change and move away, but I do understand the battle it takes to do it. It's just not an easy process at all.

I have only been exposed to a few bible studies by whom I once thought of as a friend. Everything he told me turned out to be fabrications, so I was able to make a choice before any of the bs sunk in. I just hope you and and everyone else gets your freedom back because you all deserve it. This is by no means a put down, but it is difficult to observe from the outside and simply watch.
I do wish everyone here and yourself included all the best. KK?

Oh I haven't been involved in the JW religion for 18 years. So I hope anyone else that is still in can get the courage to get out. And looking back, I don't know how I ever believed those lies for so long. My heart goes out to any still caught in the struggle.
