Hey gang. I'm a 43 year old man. I was raised a Jehovah's Witness, and was baptized in 1975. I disassociated myself in early 1977 and never looked back. I have a very loving wife, and two great children, and finally a whole and healthy relationship with God. I was baptized a Catholic (Oh my!)a few years ago, and I have a book that's being published early next year. No, not about the JW's although I do mention some of the dysfunction involved with being one. So overall I'm fine now, but I went through hell for years trying to figure out how to live outside the cult.
