Hey Jula,
Welcome to the forum and the real "world". Thinking isn't a crime here.

TheListener, that is one of my main problems, losing my family. I come from a large one, many silblings, half of which are already out. My mom is always making comments about how distressed she is that half of her children will die when the end comes. That is where most of my guilt is.
I thank all of you for the welcome

Welcome, Hopefully you lean toward your exJW siblings for support. Work on getting rid of the guilt, read cult psychology books...and stay on this board, you'll learn much!

Welcome Jula and I know you will find much support here as you fade.
Many of us here have faded or are still in the process of doing so.
I am an ex elder and have faded over the past 3 to 6 years of years.
My first suggestion to anyone who has questions about their JW faith is to buy and read Crisis of Conscience by Ray Franz, the ex governing body member. This book will enlighten you and open your mind to things you never thought or knew about the Watchtower society.
My best to you,
HappyDad

Welcome to the board!
You're right about not really studying the bible but rather WT publications when you're a JW. Everything is like circular reasonings as you are directed to other WT publications to prove something in another WT book. It's to keep people ignorant of the real truth about the org.
I hope you enjoy the forum. Oh btw look out for Blondies posts, she is very knowledgable especially with regard to doctrines and beliefs.
