    Hi

    I have been lurking here for a few months now. I did lurk a few years ago as well. I would like to introduce myself. I left the org in 1994... in early days of net round 1999 I discovered I had been involved with a cult.

    What brought me back to that conclusion was I had been reading stuff on Scientology. It reminded me of my past. I discovered i was looking into the mirror glass.

    Call me 'Sherry' I am from Australia a witness in Sydney Australia from 1984 to 1992

    G'day Sherry. Your timeframe is similar to mine. I left around '94 as well. I lurked here for a while too. I spent a lot of time in Sydney. Welcome.

    Hi sherry11. Welcome!

    What made you leave the org? Did you DA or get DF'd? Can you share some of your story with us?

    Hi sherry! Ive also been lurking around this site for a few weeks, reading that your from Sydney has prompted me to post for the first time and say hi!

    I was a witness until 1991 and I live in Sydney also.

    Welcome Sherry.

    Often seeing the comparison with other cults can be a bit of a shock for JWs.

    Hi again Sherry, reading all this information about the witnesses on this site has really brought the past back for me also.

    When I left I never questioned the witness beliefs, just knew I couldn't live in it.

    Never thought of it as a cult, but it obviously is.
