Thank you for the greetings.
Yes...lets cut to the chase. I wish i was an effective typer , so please bear with all my run on sentences etc.
Im a 38 year old fella outta Canada. I was a born in and did everything the way my parents told me to growing up, cause "thats what your supposed to do". Baptized at 17. I was never hardcore, no pioneering...but did get encouraged to "reach out" and become a MS...my hours were a little low so I guess I was supposed to bring em up. It never felt right, so I just played out my teen years like most JW's...barely. Got married (i still dont know how i could have!) at 22...it was the thing to do at the time...you fell in love and then got married so you could have sex. Read CoC wheni was 23 ...and just like the rest of my life past, I did my best to ignore my thoughts and kept on going through the motions...faded away and kept in contact with many Jw's even after my divorce. My ex left the "truth" too....turns out the only thing we had in common WAS the truth. I wish i could take the shit out of my head...but it lingers like a bad fart. Recently, I have had quite a few of my JW friends come down on me...its all conditional now that I speak my mind a little more. minds kinda clouded right now...but if you have some questions..id love to answer them the best i can.

Wooo Hooo indeed! How fantastic is it to have newbies again?
Re "taking the shit out of your head", I take it you have read Steve Hassan's books? Couselling can be very useful too.
