  After being a Jehovah's Witness for 52 years, today marks my 20 year anniversary of being out of the Borg! I turned in my letter of disassociation on September 18th 2001. It was read to the congregation on September 19th, my wife's birthday. Of course the years have had its difficulties but it has also had many wonderful experiences and epiphanies. However not once have I looked back with any regret of the decision to leave that caustic and harmful organization.

  Enjoy the wonderful journey that is your life my friends!

  Well, gee, congrats on that!

  It was harder to get out then without the internet, but not impossible. And you did it! Nice!

  Congrats! I enjoyed reading your book. Great job. You really must have known that it was just a cult and a big scam. You disassociated while everybody, including myself, were hunkered down and expecting the Big A to hit soon after 9-11. They were counting on this being the start of the "Great Tribulation!" You walked out and never looked back while the world was in turmoil. Many inactive and interested ones started flocking back at the Kingdom Hall and the dubs were cheerfully waiting for hail stones to pummel everyone that wasn't a JW.
