Hi!
I've been visiting this website for months and decided it's time for me to say hello to all of you... so "Hi!"
I have been away from the WTS for a while, but lately have felt a need to get in touch with others who have travelled the same path. Until relatively recently, I thought that all was "well" (relatively speaking) in the organization, but have found it facinating to read the comments of those who are still associated with the WTS and how they are dealing with it. With sites like this they can work through what they are dealing with and make more educated decisions. If only I had had this resource when I left! This site, as well as others (Freeminds, Mind Shadows, E-Watchman and others) gave me a glimmer of hope that just maybe there will be changes to certain doctrines of the Watchtower, especially to the WTS's shunning practices.
And because I have family and friends still associated, it has given be a little more hope that, if these changes happen, I just possibly might again have a relationship with them.
Thanks for the interesting information and the laughs. Some of you are hysterical!
Looking forward to getting to know you!
