when i left the cult--in the early 70's---it wasnt because i had discovered some awful truth about it-----just that i had realised the truth about me--i did NOT believe in god--therefore any religion had no further interest to me.
now--looking at the watchtower from a safe distance--i see it as no different to any other american made spin off religion. there all the same to me. i just feel sad for all the people who need it in their lives---or--even worse--trapped in it for fear of losing ones they love.
