I had already decided that it just could not be true, and had my "road to Damascus " experience.. I still attended some, and they put out a Kingdom Ministry insert about all the ~~terrible~~ wonderful stuff you find in apostate land on the net..Whoa ! thought, I have got to see some of that... We did not have a net connection at home, I had never used the net. The local library offered lessons so I went down ..learned how to log on and search the net. I found Freeminds, which blew my mind .

There was a link to this site. I have been here ever since.Thank you Randy Watters and Simon

And the Witnesses suggest that Satan invented the internet, not Al Gore.

Arrggghh! I can't use the quote facility. Someone else said that "apostate material" was not what they expected, this was also my experience. I had always seen "apostates" characterized as either bitter individuals who had been ejected from the congregation for wrong doing or people who wanted to draw their own following. I never expected to find stuff like the UN debacle, or an ex member of the governing body!

For me it was doubts first; Internet later. In fact, I didn't look up anything about JWs on the internet untill after I my DA.

No joke! Mine was a "pre-Google" exit... I made excuses for them for years. Didn't even go looking for dirt on them either... came to this site completely and utterly by accident, while searching for info on something else entirely.

I had doubts long before Al Gore invented the internet. Post 1975, it sort of gnawed away at me. In the spring of 1988 my wife and I decided we needed to do some research on our own so I trudged to the library (through the snow, uphill both ways) and began looking in books. We quit going to meetings shortly thereafter, our last assembly that summer and the DA letter went out on March 18, 1989. I didn't get on line until about '96 or '97.
