Since I cannot update my bio at this time let me introduce myself. Ex jw of 2 years. Was pimi for 24 and df'd for almost 3 years. Reinstated for almost 3 years and during that time I was pimo. Left shortly after marriage and my wife and most of my remaining jw family followed me. I do think most jw individuals are good people but the org is absolute filth with its treatment and brainwashing. Still a Bible believer but I go to many backgrounds for study in my personal faith such as atheists and Torah followers to name a couple. I joined today because I found a link with some old hard to find publications in them. I've been collecting a huge watchtower library and have quite a few coveted rarities. But as I've scrolled through for about 4 hours now I've found it to be a community I enjoy. I've seen that some members have passed away and I'm sorry I never got to meet them. But I'm glad to be here now and hope you are glad the same..

Hi Judgerusselford. It's great to hear that your wife and family left with you. I enjoy being here as well and find it a great source of information as well as a friendly forum.
Its great that that you were able to get out along with your wife and family and I hope that you find the time to share your story about this.

Welcome. Isn't it great when your wife and most of the JW family follow you out?
Still a Bible believer but I go to many backgrounds for study in my personal faith such as atheists and Torah followers to name a couple.
It is good to get a perspective from many places. It is far better than Watchtower's "our way or else" approach.

Thanks for the welcome guys! I never really thought I'd be a part of an online committee, let alone one of the oldest and longest running ones. But research actually brought me here and after browsing, I couldn't walk away. Its fascinating to be in a world where everyone has almost identical backgrounds but where we branched into so many different backstories.

If you are interested Judgie, there are loads of old Threads of quality from years ago, the Search facility is at the top of the page, a bit clunky, but you can find stuff.
A good contributor from years ago was Alan Feurbacher, he posted as Alan F on here, sadly he passed away a couple of months back.
Another excellent Poster from years back, who approached things in an extremely knowledgeable and Academic way, was the Poster Leolaia , she no longer Posts, but I cherish the Education she gave me, and because of her I continue to read Academic stuff about the Bible. Enjoy !

Please bear with me, I'm working on a revamp that will fix a lot of issues and add improved features (including a vastly better search, you'll be happy to hear)

Your fine Simon. My crab monster is about as wacky looking as me anyway! And phizzy, I will definitely check those threads out when I get the chance. Sorry about some of the friends here passing away. I've scrolled through a lot when I was on here yesterday and there was a lot of appreciation for those ones.
