I've studied many religions since I left the JWs. I've flirted with a few and have actually thought about joining, but in the end I didn't because it didn't feel right--it didn't resonate with me.
In 2001, the year I discovered this forum, I started reading Judaism 101 and really enjoyed it. Some of the ideas and philosophies struck a chord with me and I would find myself thinking about life in a way that Christianity had never taught me.
About 2 months ago, I picked up a book on Judaism at the library and from the moment I opened it, it touched me in a way that no other religion ever has. I am now going to temple, I am enrolled in a conversion class, I am learnig Hebrew, and I am loving it.
Has anybody else discovered this wonderful religion of light and reason? If so, I would love to hear your story.
