Another thread got me to thinking...is there anyone (elders in particular) that eventually had a change of heart by monitoring this site as a believing JW?
Anyone here converted to the dark side by monitoring this site for WTS?

Think About It
I'm a former elder who left thinking it was probably bullshit. Years later, after monitoring this site.....I'm now convinced it's utter bullshit.

My first visit was the result of Googling about the big secret announcement that was to be read about 2 years ago, so DO NOT MISS the Service Meeting next week. Well, knowing that most elders gossip more than anyone (except perhaps their wives), I figured it would be leaked somewhere.
It was. HERE!!!
The big secret announcement: NO MORE BOOKSTUDY! That's right, the most important meeting of the week was being discontinued!
Then...........I got my copy of the new Elders Book here. (Thanks, Gayle.)
I never imagined I'd ever have the nerve to post here. (Now over 1,000)
Now............this site has become an addiction. It has been my spiritual downfall. Any 12-step groups for this?

Not here, but somewhere around 2002-3 I came across info on the internet exposing the WT's association as a NGO of the United Nations. I had already been having private, personal doubts and misgivings, but that really put it over the top. Still, it wasn't until 2009 that I finally left and even then it was messy. There's really no good or easy way out of this religion. The best is probably a long, slow fade which is NOT at all what I did.
I may have briefly looked at this particular site occasionally after 2009, but all those years of indoctrination made my gun-shy of "apostate websites". It wasn't until July of this year after reconnecting with a good friend that I really respected that had been out for about 4 years that I began coming here often at his suggestion.

Alarm bells should always ring when you are told you can not and should not access certain knowlege or opinion.....
I will never forgive myself for not listening to those bells, I have also installed larger bells ;)

Plagerizing this, but I love this quote: I'd rather have questions I can't answer than have answers I can't question
