i think there are many of us who, if people found out they were on a discussion board such as this, would be kicked out of the church, out of their homes and dissowned by anyone they care about who is a JW. after i read the bible (NIV), i couldnt accept 99% of the teachings that the JW's held. but i can't tell that to many people. i have too much to lose. i hate the fact that i have to keep quiet about my God, for fear of losing everything... and so do thousands of other witnesses who are trapped.
