Hello everyone,
I've been lurking on this site for the past two months and just now decided to post. I was raised a witness, and got baptised only a couple years ago. However, shortly after my baptism I started having doubts, and began to suffer from low self esteem. Part of it was based on things I read over the internet. I had tried to take my questions to the elders, but their answers were either unsatisfactiory or accusing (i.e. where did you hear this information?). However, only about six months ago I learned of the child molestation and the UN scandal. At first I was shocked, but then actually felt relieved. I know, its horrible that these things happened, but it was a great relief to know that the dub slavemasters were never chosen by God. Although I'm still an active witness (to an extent) I can confidently say that I've severed my mental ties with the organization, and it feels great.
Welcome aboard 
Enishi !!!
