    Hi dhand, and welcome! So happy for you that you've found out the REAL TRUTH about "the truth"!

    Seeing all these new ones on the board gives me HOPE for our son, who's so indoctrinated and trapped in this cult.

    I think the major reason many of us left is the "Severe" Lack of Love. At some point all the Talk (Brainwashing) about "How They Have Love Among Themselves" Rings False.

    I would say that also had a great effect on me. After about 2 years in organization, when all of the "newness" had worn off, I was pained to see how the "love" was not what had been painted in the publications. I remember a 1982 brochure called "Enjoy Life on Earth Forever", and the main character always had this hige smile on his face in every scene. Then there is a pic of him sitting in a congregation and everyone has that same stupid smile on their faces. I remember looking around at the folks in the congregation I was in during a public talk and I did not see one smile, but I did see a lot of frustration and confusion.

    Welcome D Hand! Congratulations on your realisation! The Borg may have an emotional hold, but you will find life on the other side much easier - without all the rubbish that goes along with being a JW.

    Welcome welcome welcome

    Much Love

    Rob
