    Hi everyone, thought it was time to say hi after nearly a year lurking on this site!! Abit about me... I was born into the JW's and have been baptised for about 15yrs and was appointed as an MS about a year ago. I have been a die hard JW for the last few years, but because of the arrogant and unloving attitude of certain 'spirit appointed' men within the cong and circuit i began to wounder if what i had really was 'the truth' and caused me to do some digging on some of the fundamental teachings. Anyway through research im confident now it certainly is NOT the truth, and feel mislead all these years! Im suffering the shunning process from family, the annoying phone calls from elders all for the past 8/9months, and they dont give up!! I had never previously realised how hard it would be to escape this cult!! without df / da'ing. its like a trap! regards, dhand.

    Hello and welcome to the board.

    Sometimes it can be easier to be df'd or da'd but that would bring a whole new set of problems. For me it took about 3 or 4 years to fade away properly, so i know where you're coming from on that one.
