Went to the memorial in 2010 and never went back. Sent my DA letter a few months later.
When did you stand up and say No More to the GB and Witness world, mine was in 2000

When I first started posting here LOOOOONg time ago ( not that I have posted a bunch ) this site was semi-pro JW, at least I thought it was. I hung around here a bit,but then left. I tried pretty hard to reach for MS from about 2003-2005,after almost making it in 97. Around 2003/04 the rose tint on my glasses had started to peel a bit and I think I came back here around then and peeked around maybe late 2005,early 2006.
After my regular pioneer girlfriend dumped me ( due to being so business banging a local brother in her area,only to shortly be DF'd ) aroud 07/08 my eyes started to really open. After reading posts here,I realized I wasn't the only person who may have felt a certain way about certain things,or had certain experiences. If anything I feel you can vent and share how you feel here. My ex gf really got the ball rolling,with help from my so-called best friend.

I quit going to meetings in October of '05.
Looked at the calander and made the proclamation outloud that I am no longer one of Jehovah's Witnesses on August 8th of '06.
Egg was standing beside me in the kitchen looking at the calander and repeated for herself what I had just said.
I left physically first then mentally.

The seed was planted in 2006 due to the mistreatment I suffered at the hands of these people.
2009 was when I made up my mind to leave the cult once and for all. Best decision I ever made in my life.

The beginning of 2005 for me and it didn't take long. Was disfellowshipped within 6 months. I have never looked back since and have truly been so happy. My life is going so very well.
