    Hello! I have posted a couple of times, so I guess I should introduce myself. I don't want to give out too many details as I am baptized and have not decided what I want to do. I've been fading for awhile--no one in my cong. has shown any interest in me--I hope it stays that way--but I doubt it!

    I've seen a lot of crap go on over the years and some of it is in my family--it's amazing what some get away with. I cannot believe that the brothers have Jehovah's backing--no way! Reading the Silentlambs website is what really got me to thinking. I have also read COC--what a book!

    Even thought I am a talker, it seems hard to type about what I feel. Maybe as time goes on it will be easier! I look forward to getting to know all of you!

    Welcome calico.

    Getting past the initial shock that the organization is not the exclusive mouthpiece of God takes time.

    My first clues were powerful indications that no true brotherly love dwells there. Then I became aware of the ethical issues and then doctrinal ones.

    We are here to help you thru the process. It took me two years to come to full realization. You will get there.

    Let us help where we can.

    Welcome Calico, I started out kind of reserved too. I think once you feel more comfortable you will be able to share more of your thoughts here. I hope so anyway, we're glad to have you here!

    Hey,

    I'm in your boat, still in an wondering how to get out.

    I don't post often but read everyday. I look for Newbie's and enjoy all their comments and how they came to the realization that we have all been sold down the river.

    Welcome

    by the way, what did you think about this weeks Watchtower, some how I made it through without letting out a loud sigh. LOL

    Take care and I will look for your future comments.

    OC--I have not been going to the meetings, so I can't comment on the WT Study. I was forcing myself to go for a while but it was very hard not to speak my mind! So instead of getting in trouble--I've been keeping a low profile and a smile on my face when I see anyone from the cong.!

    I do remember sighing loudly a few times and wanting to scream and run out the door!

    Thanks for all the friendly messages--it's the most attention I've had in a long time! My head might explode!!
