I guess it is because we have all been in the same place, shared the same joys at one time, relied on one another for
encouragement, praise, friendship, and many of us are free and yet we now share our new beliefs and we still have much in common...
Cheers

This board saved my life. I was a zombie when I first found out I was a cult member. I really don't know what I would have done if I hadn't found others feeling the same way, going through the same things.
I agree with all of you. When I found this forum, I didn't know that there were so many people facing exactly my same problems and "doubts". I was not alone!
I've said it many times before: This forum has been a blessing for me. Better than therapy!!
Have a great day guys!!!

I just wish we had had the internet and places like this when I left the WT in the 80's, I thought I was the only one that had left. Those of you coming out now, you don't know how lucky you are to have this place.

I think we all appreciate and treasure our freedom to think for ourselves, make up our own minds whether or not we want to believe something.
i think what strikes me as that a person like me, who would have kept going to meetings until the end of time if that was what God wanted is on this board and fading. i went through the last 7 years of pure hell, solely because I thought that God wanted me at the meetings and out in field torture. thats whats so amazing and why the wts has a major problem in their hands. even people who would have died for the religion are leaving because no person in their right mind would go through the torture of being a witness if its not true, and not only that but the fact that they disgrace and blaspheme the Bible and Jesus. I know alot of people become atheist, and I have no problem with that. But even people who still believe in God and Jesus get the heck out of the WTS when they learn the truth. And you can learn it in an hour, just come here and look around, or read 1 book and its over like COC. the wts days are numbered imo.
I had a huge emotional crash when I really knew 100% that I had been lied to my entire life...44 years. All those doubts I had always tucked away on a shelf just came crashing down too. When I found JWD....I remember very painful ealry posts where my keyboard would literally get wet from the tears. JWD did not keep me from a suicide attempt though...so it does have it's limitations. It has helped me heal in many, many ways.......Thanks JWD....I love you guys!!!..............oompa

So true. We were among those who'd have died for it, until we listened to our doubts and acted on them. This place helped immensely in the process.
Me agrees
