Sometimes i wonder how different is the description of the christian
congregation in comparison with the stuff we learned in the "truth".
Pioneers, district and circuit conventions, magazines routes, magazines itself.(What about the blood matter,the type and antitype, etc.?Come on!)
How we suck all this garbage and still we were thinking its the truth?
I left ten years inside this circus, and now I really really wonders
...¿how all this happens?
I read in the past days a quote from G.Bernard Shows that says something like:When you realize you were not right about something you realize not only you were not right, but that the reasons to realize you were not right about that were before you all this time.(the quote is a sort of this). I think this quote describe perfectly what happened to many of us?
Why?How?
Many questions, a few answers.

You are not alone.

Hi Paradix
I'm new here myself, although I've been out for about seven years. I never knew before that there were other people who felt duped and confused about their JW years. The words you quoted,
the reasons to realize you were not right about that were before you all this time
has been so true for me. It is as if all these doubts built up, stayed supressed until something happened to make me actually think for myself for once, and all those doubts came rushing into me all at once.I was 9yo when my parents were contacted, so didn't really have all that much choice about entering the org. Then I was baptised when I was 14yo. Thus I only had two choices, stay with the WTS or be an outcast to everyone who I was allowed to consider my friends. I don't know, but maybe this explains to some extent how those doubts could have been supressed for so long.
I guess I am just saying, "Welcome, I feel the same".
