Welcome KBelly:
I too was raised a JW......but didn't see the "light" till I was 46..........because of the May, 2002, Dateline special on Pedophiles within the WTBS.........
Glad you are young enough to make something outta yourself........
I was never a pioneer........I felt serving God was a private matter.....and always tried to help the "underdogs" in various congregations I moved to, to show them how important they were....
Keep posting.......!!!
