Hi nice to meet you all, this is my first post.
I left the Org 3 months ago (was going to back, but the days went by...) and last week I did some proper at length research online (and other factors in my local K Hall pushed me) and I decided last week this IS a mind-controlling, judgemental, critical, brainwashing, oppressive, dangerous, self-esteem and dignity sucking cult. I can't believe I was duped and fooled by it all for TWENTY TWO years of my life.
MidwichCuckoo, I agree with that, I'm from the UK and I had little idea the Org was involved with the UN and about the molesting cases etc going on in other countries. That's why the internet is so good isn't it, it educates us with all sorts of interesting information that the Society doesn't want JW's looking at.
I'd still be in the Org if it wasn't for the internet and sites like these, but now i'm freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. lol.
