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!
