sosoconfused. Very well done. If more exwitnesses did this I believe the Watchtower would fall quicker. You will feel better for not deceiving your parents.

Constructive feedback for AAWA leadership (IMHO)
by besty in1 - reconsider your existence - there might be a reason why the most effective resources to date have been solo efforts.
2 - recognize that even well-intentioned organizations will firstly seek self-preservation.
3 - be aware that egos and emotional stupidity have torn apart much grander edifices than aawa.

The website that had the most influence on my exit was the old "quotes" site.
No comments, just quotes. No experiences.
Freeminds and people's experiences did nothing for me. Still doesn't to a large degree. It's either the 'truth' or it isn't.
Now 'Jwfacts' is the go to site for me .
Everyone is different

Thank you very much, once again for your work.
The Flood and date of the flood and everything associated with it, is the single biggest reason I have to disbelieve the Witnesses and the Witness view of Genesis.
Is there a ''god''? Who knows for sure? I doubt it very much.
Were we created? Who knows for sure? I very strongly suspect no.
Was there a worldwide flood in 2370 BC? Of course not, you idiot.
I would challenge any Witness to spend 2 or 3 hours reading your website and still believe the Watchtower.
I wouldn't belive them if they said they still did.

WT Elders school: Avoid black and white thinking - now look at this zebra
by sir82 incontinuing on with my haphazard review of the recent one-day elders school..... in one of the introductory talks, the co was making the point that we can't view things merely from a black and white perspective.
many issues have "shades of gray" and we need to use discernment in such situations.. and i'm thinking "finally!
maybe he will continue on to make an actual, reasonable point!".

"newbie" post - after eight years registered
by pajaha inactually, this is my second post as i replied to a thread a few moments ago, but it turns out i originally registered eight years ago but had never posted.. i left in 2000 (from a newport, s wales, congregation) having been brought up in it from about the age of three.
initially, i was obsessed with research and posting to forums but got over it after a few years and just rediscovered this site a couple of days ago.
i just thought it would be worth posting my account of leaving in case it helped others.. i always considered myself to be "strong in the truth" and genuinely believed it,, but i suppose the amount of suppressed doubts had been mounting up and i think it was the summer of 1999 when i first thought of leaving.

Hi pajaha,
Welcome to the forum and please tell us more.
Yes I remember when you left the 'T' here in Newport, as it did cause a little stir amongst us still in brothers. Regretably in my social clique the general attitude was quite derisory.
One brother, a brother who of his own admission said he'd never, and I mean never, read any book except the Society's claptrap, said you'd left because of some doubts about how the kangaroo got to Australia after the Flood. I remember thinking ''yes, how the hell did it get there?'' But this brother thought you were mad for leaving.
As I know you are a male and not a female, I tip my hat to you for your conscience driven abrupt ending of your links to the Watchtower Society. And thankfully all, as far as I know, your famliy left too.
Thanks for posting and look forward to hearing more.
