  wow!

  it's really encouraging to find such warm hearted people so willing to welcome a new guy.. all of your kind words have made a difference already.

  i have been reading hundreds of posts and i never imagined that there were so many others out there going through or have gone through the same thing.. i think you all are right about talking to my parents.

  Thanks under74.

  I left the JW's almost 10 year ago when I was 16. I was a "bad influence" on all the other young ones. I didn't actually do anything but got the blame for pretty much anything the others did as they were all elders children. I was actually glad to take the blame for a lot of it as it meant they would leave me alone. However my mother stayed faithful but luckily not fanatical like some. She left the JW's 2 months ago. Only my brother is still in. I finally feel that since my mum has left that I don't have to feel guilty anymore.

  talk about being bored while pretending to read. I used to say the alphabet backwards whenever we used to have to pray. Now I have a unique party trick of being able say it in under 5 secs
