Hello everybody!
I finally had the guts to create a profile to be able to post. I've been lurking for a few months and have read all your experiences and comments dutifully. You have been a great help in my process of waking up from this cult posing as the one true religion. I thank you for openly and honestly sharing your experiences, I'm grateful for all of you, you have been a blessing ;)
I'm still physically in for family reasons, but I think everyday about the day I get to be out completely. I have been raised in the "truth" since the age of 6, I'm 42 now. I feel like the best part of my youth/life has been wasted. I started regular pioneering right out of high school, this was in the mid '90's when the end 'had already turned the corner'. Needless to say that process of waking up has not been easy, I'm doing much better now, but the WT has done a number on me and I know I still have a long road ahead.
