Thank for for sharing your story. You certainly were seeking truth with a heartfelt and sincere desire. I believe that is important for people to see as it completely blows the "they want to leave because they want to fornicate" theory out of the water. People just want truth and to live their lives to the best of their ability.
I wish you all the best!

just n from bethel what version of the bible are you reading BTW?
If you are still reading the NWT, I suggest you read almost any other version, plenty of great ones for free here.
I suggest you read the New Testament in one of those versions and when you pray ask the Holy Spirit to teach you John 14:26, 1 Corinthians 2:14
The few cracks that have appeared will open up and the WT will come crashing down. It would be wise to run from it as it crashes and neither try to live amongst its ruins.
Blessings,
Stephen
good post very interesting, shame the R & F cannot use balanced logical thinking like you have done to make an en mass desertion from the evils of this dangerous man made cult.
Just n from Bethel, wow! What an interesting post! I've loved it! Thank you very much for your account.
Great post JNFB.
An MS in my last hall left before i did. He was a super intelligent electronics expert. Someone disproved the flood to him, he was gone within 6 months.
What exactly did the guy you met say about the flood that you couldn't disprove?
Obviously it wasn't just ONE thing that caused you, JNFB, to leave, but I am curious, what if science somehow PROVES that there was a global flood?
Perhaps not to the huge extent that the bible seems to portray, but a global one nevertheless.
What would you do then?
That is a great post, just n.
I also had an experience with a return visit/Bible study who refuted the Borg doctrine so well that it gave me pause. He challenged me on 1914 and wouldn't back down. This was more than 10 years before I finally left but what he said stuck with me.
Very interesting post. I am curious about the flood issue.
wow... i go on vacation for bit and come back to find out that you wrote a book and decided to publish it one chapter at a time on JW.net!!!
Just kidding bro Even though i had heard much of that directly from you I still enjoyed reading it. Credit to you for sharing.. we all benift
Your post highlights one interesting point: in the JW religion, only a few people can think. All the others have to follow.
That's one of the reasons I left.
