Wow I am touched by the number of replies, thanks to you all for the suggestions and the welcome.
I have read what you have all said very carefully, I am so glad that I posted here before making any drastic decisions or talking to my JW family. It is great to have a different perspective on the JW religion, I have friends and family that think the whole religion is a joke but have not actually been involved themselves - it is an eye opener to hear stories of people who have actually been there.
The congregation that I was involved with was full of young people and there was quite a good social network, I enjoyed my time there and still remember some of the people very fondly. I think maybe this is making me see the whole religion through rose tinted glasses, I remember the feeling of fitting in and being surrounded by people who genuinely seemed to care about me, I guess I need to look at the bigger picture!
So...the first thing I am going to do is read 'Crisis of Conscience' and check out some of the websites that you have recommended, thanks for encouraging me to research before making decisions and providing links to the info.
I plan to stick around and look forward to getting to know you all a bit better.
