Welcome to the forum Jo
Just don't rush out and tell all your JW mates what you found. They won't like it. Remember that they were listening to every warning you ever heard from the platform.
Cheers

Welcome.
I remember when I first decided to post. My hands shook!
I was "in" for over thirty years. Several years have passed since I have been "out" and I am happy to say that my mind is under my own control now. Glad you are now able to say the same.

Thank you for all your warm welcome...now comes the hard part I guess
For those who have left the WTBS and remained religous, what is the real reason you think that suffering/voilence ect really occur?
Then for those who have become agnostic/atheists after leaving the WTBS, what do you think is the purpose of life and will it continue like how it is now?
For me personally, now after doing all this reading ect...it's like the universe has been lifted off my back!!! Although I can't leave physically just yet because of family...and yes my family is an HARD CORE one! I've read other threads and know others out there are in similar circumstances.
One thing that really got to me was when I found out about the child abuse cases...the WTBS bashes other groups for it, come to realize its happening in the WTBS...how hypocritical, it's just unfortunate that the news media seems to mainly cover the Catholic church...why isn't hell on the media when it occurs in the WTBS...the only way my family would rethink the WTBS is if a child abuse case came on CNN as thats all they watch because "we're in the last days".
@ leavingwt: lol, my new PC is still intact..so far
@ flossycat: I couldn't access your site
@dm6: never heard of that book before, but will check it out
@blacksheep: at this time, i cant tell anyone in my cong/family what i've found out...i'd have to go to another planet to live, especially my hard core mom... i feel so sorry for her because she's extremely sad that all her bible studies have quit on her and the rhetoric from the platform that Jehovah will provide one for you once you pray isn't helping...our territory is overworked and people aren't as religous as they use to be. I remember even up to 10 years ago (i'm born in) you could find at least a good 5-10 minutes discussion...now you're forntuate if you get a second with them...
@Pamsgirl: I guess divine intervention lol, I couldn't beleive how helpfull/warm people on here are...the WTBS make you all seem so bitter and people who are demon possessed/mentally diseased...now I know better...
Peace
