    March 12, 1998 I becam a bethelite. March 12, 2001 I left bethel.
    March 12, 2011 I started a personal Bible reading project that was supposed to strengthen my faith as a JW before the memorial. Instead this was the beginning of my awakening.

    It's hard to go against the religious current- keep growing and opening your mind to alternative possibilities.

    NRFG: thanks! I will always be grateful to the Bible for breaking me free from the JW's

    Moshe: The Bible eventually helped me go against the religious current and realize that it's just a book.

    MrsJones5: Thank you

    Well, they were telling you not to read that dangerous book on its own, weren't they?

    Congrats, DS. Happy for you. What a difference a year makes, huh.

    Congratulations DS!

    You did what the sign on the 117 Adams Street building says: Read God's Word The Holy Bible Daily

    And you discovered the truth about "the truth" and the Bible and it set you free!
