Hey guys ! I've stopped believing the Watchtower crap a few years ago. I achieved this on my own, despite being raised as one. Later I discovered forums such as this which I find very entertaining to read, but also to offer great support. In my time reading posts on this forum I learned some of the terms used here, such as j dubs, the borg and so on. I am still in the borg because my family, my friends and pretty much everyone I know and care about are in so I can't leave. In the meantime I've also secretly become an atheist.
Obviously I don't have even an ounce of faith in WT but obviously I choose not to leave. I'm a little paranoid about them finding I post on this forum so I'll keep the details as vague as possible. I can say that I live somewhere in Europe, I'm in my early 20's, I go to college and try to live as normally as possible. Sometimes life in the borg get too stupid and I feel the need to talk to someone about it, and that's why I'm happy this forum exists.
Today's WT study article kept going on about how getting a college education means becoming a slave of Satan (it's actually what it said) and that the WT is confident young Jdubs will make the right choice and become slaves of Jokehova (another term I learned here). I'm assigned to read each Sunday, and now everyone was obviously giving me dirty looks because I've chosen college instead of pioneering. I didn't give any answer today because it feels extremely hypocritical, especially when such stupidities are being said. Anyway I just wanted to introduce myself and I look forward to having interesting conversations with you guys.
