  anything in particular make you quit?

  I quit going to the meetings about six months before Ken and I divorced. I always thought I would go back. Even though I was inactive, Jessica and I would hang out. Jessica started dating someone outside the JWs. He studied about JWs on the internet and was able to convince her of the "truth" about JWs. She actually tried to talk to me about it, but I was still a "walk-away believer" even though I wasn't going to the meetings and at that time I hadn't been for about 2 years. Something finally clicked and I started doing my own research. This was after asking Jessica what made her leave and she replied with a frustrated "they lie, they lie about everything" which made me very curious and she showed me a website called H20 (much like this one) and I just started studying and reading everything I could get my hands on. Six years later, I am totally done with JW doctrine and organized religion. I have done a lot of searching, but I always come back to the same agnostic views I hold today. God himself would have to come to my home and convince me otherwise at this point.

  I am in Pleasant Ridge, very close to Kenwood and Oakley/Norwood.

  Not too far away at all! Is Monty anywhere close? I really enjoyed spending time with your brothers, one can only imagine the trouble we would have gotten into had we not been dubs. The last I seen Matt, he really liked this girl, I believe her name was Carrie, but she had really long straight blonde hair and was short/thin. I hope those two eventually got together.

  I don't know if you knew the Snyder sisters at all, Tamar and Sarai, but believe it or not, Tamar was dating my younger brother for a while, about 5-6 years ago. Seems kind of funny, because when I was younger, and she was a LOT younger, we were an item. ( I was 18 or 19, she was only 15 ! ) STUPIDITY on my part!

  I know for a fact I could still drive out to your place, in the dark! I spent soo much time there, it was like a second home.

  Hope to hear from ya soon!

  Reunions are great. I hope you guys know that anyone in the world, including any jws, can read every word/name you put here. Just a thought.

  Monty is still in N. Ky. He has been disfellowshipped for quite some time. He is living with his girlfriend and they have a little girl together. Matt and Carrie didn't last long. He married a girl from school and they divorced within the year. He just got remarried a couple of years ago and it lasted just over a year.

  Yep, I remember Tamar and Sarai, Sarai actually dated Matt, Monty and Marty at some point and time. I saw her about 6 years ago, but just at a wedding of a mutal friend. She seemed to be doing well.

  I hope you guys know that anyone in the world, including any jws, can read every word/name you put here.

  Thank you, but I am not too worried about it. What is the worse thing they can do?...Disfellowship me?...WhaaaaHaaaHaaaa! Anyway thanks for the warning.
