    The forum is overall quite enjoyable, but I liked most the humour of some posters and the amazing details and information that often comes up here, Bethelite insider stories, good detailed research etc

    I spent a good week as a lurker reading everything for hours on end. I signed up and haven't been away since. I didn't have any ex-jws in my life so I'm glad to have a group of people who know what it was like to grow up as one.

    It has re-inforced my determination to stay far, far away. Also I now have some great ammo for those yearly family induced guilt trips.

    I"ve met some great friends and I gained a voice. I swear, if I'd had to hold in all I was feeling you would have had to cart me off in a straitjacket.

    This board is a tremendous and amazing tool and help.

    I already was preparing to exit, but knowing I have a place to vent is really going to help even more than just the support of good friends and my fiance.

    It sure did. I had doubts but didn't know why. Reading all the things shared on this board helped me find out the truth behind the troof.

    I also reunited with a friend after 9 years apart. You can't fault that :o)

    I think this board has probably saved my life, literally. I faded a number of years ago...have stresses since because there were some things I still believed....about six months ago I came across this board and every once in a while I'd visit and read. After finally becoming a member....I've really enjoyed the posts and yes the debates.....the freedom to be able to ask a question or voice an opinion and not be threatened with death is.....wonderful. these past few weeks I have found the constant, underlying depression I have felt for such a very long time disappear! For that I thank each and every poster!

    I have found this board very helpful.I started fading in 1999 but it's been very hard with my wife.For years I kept it all inside,unable to vent without being called an apostate.After a while I didn't talk about it anymore and just let build up inside.When I signed up last year,I really needed a release and this site has been the best.

    Reading Crisis of Conscience and In Search of Christian Freedom has also helped a lot.

    Thank you everybody here for accepting me the way I am and for being yourselves also.
