Good evening all. Thanks to everyone who responded to my post. I'll comment to each person briefly... Metatron, Your comment about witnesses being mindlessly loyal to the Watchtower is scary. After all the different controlling organizations I have been a part of in my life, the last thing I want to do is become mindlessly loyal and controlled by the ignorance of a few. KLS, Yes, I am searching for something in my life. I am a constant seeker - in both the physical and "spiritual" world. I am constantly reading and desiring to educate myself about a wide variety of topics. Sometimes I don't focus on any one thing long enough to master it - and that can be my downfall. AlmostAtheist, I suppose I don't ever want to be "almost atheist." My belief in something beyond myself, something other worldy - some other force of being, is at the core of who I am. I can't escape it... Perhaps if my mother had indoctrinated me in JRR Tolkien instead of Mary Baker Eddy, Joseph Smith, or Benny Hinn, I'd be a lot better off! Sirona, I find it interesting that you have chosen the Wiccan path. I have done some surface research on paganism and wicca. I've been drawn to some aspects of the nature religions, but find some of the, in my humble opinion, hocus pocus ceremonies, incantations, etc., too fantastical for me. Of course, I've never immersed myself, met anyone in "real time", or been a part of any pagan circles, so I would be the absolute last person that could make a valid judgement. I simply have avoided it due to some of my readings, though I must say some aspects of it all still really intrigues me!!! No JWs or Mormons at my door today, though I had a mormon invite me to dinner on Monday night. They never give up! Oy ve! Hope you all are well. Storm on Horizon (headed towards Florida)

Greetings all, In the early part of my childhood, I was raised in the Christian Science church, after which began attending the church of Religious Science. When I was 15, I joined the LDS (Mormon)church. I left the LDS church at 18 years old, had a "born again" experience, joined a fanatical charismatic church, and then went to Bible college to study ministry. About two and 1/2 years ago I fell away from church life all together after finding out that my Pastor had been living in a homosexual relationship with the youth pastor. Now, at 24 years old, I have a good and prosperous career, but am constantly unfulfilled and on a spiritual search. I recently went to the Watchtower site and gave them my contact information, as I was interested in finding out a bit more about this organization. After reading some of these posts, I'm beginning to think I should not have done this! I seem to always be drawn to the extremes... Anyone else out there been on a similar journey?
