    I used to post over at H2O a long time ago and thought I would drop in and say hello. I am very glad that someone has taken the time to set up another place where ideas about Jehovah’s Witnesses can be freely posted and discussed. This type of place is a great public service for people who are just starting to see through the thick fog and who are just beginning to recognize cracks in that grandiose, self-serving, anything-BUT-ivory, tower that has the gall to refer to itself as the truth. I remember well what a terrifying period of time this is... Especially when all of your family and loved ones are still firmly within. It is so scary and frustrating to realize what is going on and to be so powerless to do anything about it. In the ‘Kingdom of the Blind’ the one with sight is never trusted nor believed and is blinded or cast out as soon as possible… I wonder if H.G. Wells knew many witnesses? Only people who have been in this situation can relate to someone currently experiencing it. Be proud of what you do here. As Lily Tomlin might have said, if Jehovah’s Witnesses is the answer, then we badly need to rephrase the question. I think many of you do this rephrasing with each and every post you make. Thanks!

    There are many here that were elders,ms,ect..
    I was just your average r&f member that thought the WTS was really Gods chosen org.

    Welcome Atticus,

    This forum has a different flavor than H2O. The people are nice, however, and I think you'll enjoy it here.

    I understand how painful it is to have family still jw's and not want to know you, my mother died feeling that I was the one that had given her so much stress she got ill with cancer because I would not go back talk about emotional blackmail, I loved her dearly but could not live a lie. Welcome here, everyone is here to support you.
