Thanks for the nice words.
Yes, I certainly agree with you about the Bible. To think that reading the Bible alone will lead you into heresy is *itself* heretical!
I am so encouraged to read from posts by ex JWs who have really found Christ. I'm discouraged to read so many posts by those who have left the organization, but have landed only in bitterness and anger.
This reminds me greatly of the warning Jesus gave about getting rid of an evil spirit, and then that spirit comes back to a clean home with 7 other worse spirits. In other words, if you don't replace your idol with Christ, you'll get another (often worse) idol.
(I suppose it's hard to imagine a worse idol than the one that the WT has set up, though, especially for people on this board.)
