    Absolutely not.

    For the biggest time I was a very sincere dub. OK I wavered and got down once in every few years, and the pressures of life sometimes tempted me to do wrong just to make some changes in my life, but I always saw myself as coming back, even if I had had to leave for a while.

    After all, we had the truth, right? We really knew what the future holds and the only way to serve god and get salvation. Who would be such a fool as to leave all that??

    I guess I was easily led

    I was terrified of not being a witness. Some time ago at an assemble the DO said" next year 50 of you, wont be here" I was so scared cos I knew something was amiss but I still thought it was the truth

    I remember praying "please dont let it be me"

    Tough shit it was!!!!

    I was a model witness in a model family.

    I NEVER thought I would be here... not in a million years...

    "They": believe they're gliding down the highway,

    when in fact they're slip-sliding away.

    To be honest....even as a child I would say to my parents "yeah maybe I will go to Bethel one day!" but I knew inside that I was saying that to make them happy...I fantasized about being "worldly" and going to college, being successful, celebrating holidays even! I just knew even as a little girl (especially as a GIRL) that I could not be myself or happy if I stayed a JW. I knew that once I moved away I was OUT! I started to not believe in God as a young child to. I remember asking my parents "but how do you KNOW there is a God?" trying to get them to prove it to me!

    When the 1995 debacle ('new light') about the 1914 generation, I knew that was the beginning of the end for me in the WTBTS.

    When I found this website, I knew the final end was fast approaching.

    Any day now I'll muster up the courage to have it end for good between me and the WTBTS.

    My only dream was always the nightmare that one day I would not. Thank goodness that's all it was. Happier out than in.
