    Welcome! It sounds like your LOML left too. Hope I read that right.
    The Society's escape doors are pretty well guarded. You did good!

    N@H,

    Your post is exactly how I felt when I found this site. I was overwhelmed that this exJW community was so large. It was overwhelming, but a relief.

    Welcome!

    Welcome to the forum N@H.

    This place is like a coffee shop with many talking and listening, lots of information, lots of agreeing as well as disagreeing, sometimes an argument because of differing opinions. But it is a place where we all come because of our background. It's nice to know that we are not alone in our exit from the WT.

    The only other thing I can add is what I tell all newcomers. To really educate yourself about the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society aka Jehovah's Witnesses, please read Crisis of Conscience by Ray Franz, an ex governing body member. What he tells is no exageration and he tells it without anger.

    Welcome! I am glad you found us. That nagging doubt that they really do have the truth, keeps many people hooked doesn't it?

    I am happy for you and your new found truth. This time it is the real truth.

    lol when I first read the title of this thread I thought it was going to somebody telling us where they found the real truth and then invite us to go to some web site that tells you how to really worship God and how you can tell when the end is coming by counting and multplying the lines in the palm of your hand. I'm glad that not what this thread is about.

    Welcome N@H. Are you from Orange County too?

    Loosie-

    I'm from L.A. county but I knew a few hypocrites witnesses in OC, the Huntington Beach area and also Cypress, H.B. was filled with the most self righteous jerks I have ever come across. I haven't kept track of any of them, but I'm sure they're still there, none of them could have made it in the real world! Most that I know who are still in are in the Long Beach/Lakewood area though.

    Sometimes I think we should all just pay for a small advert in our local paper.

    "Why dont the JWs want you to look at this?" With a couple of web addresses. After all this board now has members all over the world.

    welcome to the rest of your life, guilt free.

    Yes it is the walk-away believers that I feel sorry for. The carry the guilt but can't figure out what is really wrong with the JWs. Be patient with your loved ones, maybe one day you can reach them.
