Welcome Ethos.
This is a new beginning for you. I was raised a Jehovah's Witness and attended regulary since I was a wee babe. I am now 58 and have been out for 2 years.
Since joining this forum, I have learned more about what Jehovah's Witnesses teach and have taught in the past than I could ever have imagined. I thought I knew my religion. What a shock to learn all the things I didn't know regarding all the doctrinal flip flops, lies and rewritten history.
Get ready for a wild ride and to make genuine friends. Hope you enjoy this forum as much as we do.
