Sorry I'm late to this thread. I've read a few post on here and it's struck my interest, greatly.
I've often wondered as to what it was that led me to the truth, as well as what it was that led me away. A long string of probable causes has led me to where I am in my life, no longer being a member of Jehovah's Witnesses.
In a moment of synchronicity, on the evening that my study was to be re-established, the brother, for whatever reason did not show up. As it was I had internet access at the time, I, out of curiosity the same evening did a Google search while waiting for the brother to show. After finding several sites, I saw this one that caught my eye, freeminds.org and was terrified when trying to get my fingers to press enter to access to the site. I looked in after my conscience was beating the hell out of me for even considering looking elsewhere for information, and then...the rest was history.
Several different spirits seemed to have played a role in my remaining outside the Ark. When I looked around to see all that was being said about Jehovah's Witnesses, I couldn't believe it was true, however, I was compelled to do an investigation and came away shell shocked. It took about a year for me to come to grips with all that I had never been told.
For the spirit that was responsible for bringing this information to me, I am eternally greatful. Was I led into this by other spirits forces only to be led out again? Somethings in this life I believe we will never know, however, I am glad to have been able to make it through this side of the situation.
I was tortured, terrified, and just plain miserable being out of the truth without the information now at my disposal. I would've been in even worse shape mentally and spiritually had it not been for finding this site and all the others who are struggling thru just as I was.
It's truly a comforting thing to know that I am not alone in this mission.
