Great story, Jeff. I truly believe the internet will bring down the WTS. It is only a matter of when.
I left before the advent of the internet. As a third generation JW, I finally faced up to the fact that I could no longer take the WT literature from door to door, especially after they released Freedom of the Sons of God (or some such title). It was embarrassing to read, let alone sell.
For ten years, I was the only one in my large family to have left the organization. I longed to talk to someone else who had a similar experience, but the closest I could come was reading Visions of Glory by Barbara Grizzutti Harrison. Needless to say I devoured that book like a woman starved.
