Hello, this is my first post. I was a Jehovah's witness for 14 years in a couple of hispanic congregations. (Spanish is my native language). My wife and my daughter also got baptised. When my two sons were close to be considered adults they decided not to become JW. Although we received some suggestions to kick them out , my wife and I agreed not to follow these " advices". Around 2006 some doubts began to fill my mind: the new light about blood, the birthdays, the faithful and discreet slave doctrine and more. I had heard about 1975 and I wondered why the Society didn't say anything about that. Eventually, I realized that the Watchtower was not the the "truth". I decided to dissasociate myself but I didn't know what to do about my family because I knew I could lose them. Next time, I will tell what happened. (Please excuse my grammar mistakes, spelling, wrong use of commas,etc.)

Good for you, you let common decency and common sense trump "advice" from the self-declared "God's representative."
