12 years for me and before I actually became a member, I looked at this site (JWD) for a few months.

Hi Minimus! As Blueblades 12 years too. I sent Simon mail to see if he can restore my name on here and have not heard from him yet. So, I am using Darwin because that is where I am at now in my understanding of Evolution.

I lurked here as an elder in 06, joined the site 2/4/07 and posted my intro thread 4/07. I dont spend as much time here as I used to. Busy living a non-JW life.

HeyThere
Since April...facing major surgery as an unbaptized publisher, I was shocked and horrified by the aggressive indoctrination they rushed me into into regarding blood transfusions. They tried to get me a blood card, and brought the blood video to my house, which we proceeded to watch while eating popcorn.
There had already been major wtf moments prior to this, such as false prophesies, 1914 and the "invisible rule" but the whole biased blood video pissed me off. I made arrangements for my sister to be my poa and wrote specific instructions that I would accept blood.
I also came across an article about Candice conti. That led me to research more and I found this site.
I have found the advice and experiences of others here to be so helpful. Though I am no longer attending meetings, my child is being made to attend by my uber dub husband, but he has allowed her to stop studying and negotiated that she only has to do field service a few times a month. She is completely anti-jw and hates going to meetings.
