    Wow! How many new ones does this make in just this week alone? At least 10.

    Joe, I think you are part of a new exodus. This one seems to be the biggest since the early 1980s. Glad you found us, relax and stay a while.

    of accurate information about this secretive religion/cult .

    I'm currently being shunned by dozens of close family for asking the wrong questions and not handling my fade

    correctly . I've since learned so much . How JWs treat people who do real research and have honest questions

    PROVES without a doubt its all a scam .

    Lord Jehovah is upon me, for the reason that Jehovah has anointed me to tell good

    Welcome Joe! I am not a fan of DF in that I mean it is just as easy to side step the charging bull with a bit of a distraction and not allow yourself to be impaled on it's horns.

    We have experts on how to slide past the WBTS, keep your family and help them out at the right time.

    Apparently you awoke to the petty rackets of overcharging the friends for services renendered or requested. Everybody here has some break through issue that clears the cobwebs away. Once you see something clearly you find other things............ with the WTS a lot of things.

    Welcome Joe! Enjoy your time here!

    You're right, I don't think I knew half of the things you mentioned by the time I faded. Hang in there and watch out for the WT police--the elders! LOL

    Welcome to the forum.

    It is common to wonder how you could have been duped into following and not investigating the ever-changing doctrines of the WT. I was "in" for more than thirty years-my husband was an elder for over twenty. We are out together now.

    You will go through many stages as you leave; anger, regret, sadness, bewilderment, etc.

    Just know that you will emerge from these normal feelings, and that there is plenty of life and happiness ahead when you finally feel free to be yourself and choose new goals in life.
