    My history,

    47 years doing the JW thing from the age of 3.

    Many good times and many times I thought I was worthless especially as a teenager. Couldn't be good enough to please some elders. I remember laying in bed after graduating high school wandering what I was suppose to do. Bethel would have gotten me out of the house but at the time, if you couldn't last 4 years you were worthless. Perhaps some of your former JWs from my time period would recall that. So I moved in with a friend and found that I could be a good JW after all. But years later I started having many conflicts and thoughts. When they changed their interpertation of 1914 this created many conflicting thoughts to go through my head.

    Anyway, just wanted to drop by and say hello.

    Welcome. Thanks for the intro.

    Hope you stick around for awhile. This site has been a godsend (no pun intended) for me.
