  Hi Everyone

  i was a jw only for about ten years, but they covered my teens to mid-20s.

  i still have problems sorting out what i really think about life, religion, evolution and so on.

  i also feel i was completely robbed of my 'wild years' and have never really lived.

  hey, just thought i'd do a quick intro, share some song lyrics that have spoken to me, and then have a look around.

  my name's erin/froggi, and i've been disfellowshipped for 4 years, since i was 19 years old.

  i was raised a jw, and my homelife was actually quite idyllic, typical 50s sitcom stuff, like the cleavers.

  Another Newbie :)

  it's hard to know where to begin, so i'll just... begin.. i had my first encounter with jw in high school when my now ex-husband moved into our small town.

  (you're doing the math already, aren't ya?

  :) ) after finding out he was a jw, i did a little bit of reading into it, which he discouraged... told me that that stuff is "apostate" (i had no idea what that meant) and that he'd give me stuff to read.

  Do ex-witness forums do more harm than good?

  your thoughts?

  To ex-jws? No because we are all in a unique position whether dis'fd, dis'assd or just left we have all escaped from a mind and life controlling cult and have or are coming out the other side. Some people don't find that easy and if a site like this can make the journey a bit easier then that's why people come here. To help or to be helped.

  To existing jw's? No because they wouldn't be here if they didn't have doubts about their beliefs and they can find answers to their doubts.

  To the WTBTS? Yes because they are a profit orientated organisation and a loss of a member is a loss of earnings. Also as they know that their beliefs of a paradise earth etc is just a pipe dream, and that it doesn't take a genius to work that out, more and more people are coming here to find the real TRUTH THAT WILL SET YOU FREE.
