Welcome, and thanks for sharing your story.
I was never baptized, but studied with the JW's for a few years. As more of an observer to this strange group, I find the different stories very interesting.
It is good to hear the story of someone who left.
Hi Goldiver, I like your name.
I have known TTATT, the truth about the truth, for 1 year, 9 months and 2 weeks.
It is hard to believe I had been lied to, all my life.
It is a good feeling to finally "grow up".
Who would really believe that "God" would think an uncharitible , unChristlike "Headquarters", lol, like "Watch Tower", had anything going for it except to use it's member's to further their Worldwide Property Developement and Book Publishing Empire. God chose THEM out of 7 billion people to LIVE and EVERYBODY else is to DIE??? I do not think so. That is childish, really crazy thinking.
I am glad to hear you too woke up from their delusional thinking.
How embarrassing to have ever been known as a Jehovah's Witness.

Flipper, Yes nobody is allowed to steal my mind ever again. I still believe in god and believe he loves me as I am, I feel no need to put on a show any longer. I will never again be any part of an organized religion or cult. I guess in a way I have my own religion and I like it that way. I have found my road to peace.
Peace be with you.
Welcome to the forum Goldiver. Wonderful that you have been able to "safely" draw upon your strengths and personal resources to get out of the organization with as little drama as possible. Unfortunately, loved ones do not always see the "light" exposing the organization as just another religion peddling as "truth" human speculations. Still, your ability to move towards a happier, more fulfilling life shines through - and without the "consoling" crutch of organised religion.
Hello and welcome.

Like you, I was told the most important thing in a marriage is that you "both love Jehovah". Never mind the mental and physical abuse or the drug addiction. Thats all forgivable apparently. I also divorced on non scriptual grounds, because mental, physcial and drug abuse were good enough reasons for me.
Now married to a wonderful guy.
Welcome !
