  For anyone interested in receiving a copy of my study can contact me directly at [email protected] or simply post an email address that I can send to you.

  Side note: I appreciate the words of Jedi's second response but I do believe strongly that I as well as many I have come into contact with are clearly determined to allow the research to speak for itself. Although the findings could be defined as biased or opposed to WBTS teachings the process of obtaining those findings were and still are unbiased from the standpoint of the researchers. I was simply determined to find an answer to a challenging question possed to me and my research determined my change of thought. I agree with Jedi in not quibbleing over words and that is good advise. I on the otherhand try and avoid words that have a deffinate negative slant. Respect for the thinking of others as well as the opposing subject demands this.

  For those of you who have contacted me with words of thoughtfulness and respect for the materials found (as well as your welcoming me to JWD) I thank you and look forward to further discussion and contact. The present study took me over 6 months to produce but I have numerous other subjects I am working on that I will gladly post as they near completion. In the mean time, thank you for your interest.

  With regard to the post asking me what I will do now: My future is my own and I am planning on making changes in my life but they will be made in such a way as to make the transition as easy to bear to my family and those whom I love as painless as possible. I may be hoping for too much but I will proceed with this approach regardless. I will walk away with as clean and clear a conscience as can possibly be achieved.

  It's difficult to understand why Jedi feels my views are biased when in fact the entire study used sources other than my own. But all are entitled to their own view.

  This subject is of a very serious nature, one that has touched the lives of many people for both good and bad. I am interested in only those who are concerned enough about the matter to assit others with the emotional, mental, intellectual and spiritual problems that have resulted from such a teaching. Many need direction, understanding and an unbiased view of the matter. It's my hope that we can keep the conversation respectful.

  Yes I am aware of my name being posted.

  I am deeply involved in many different studies and will share them when they become complete.

  I will post them for review so that I might get feedback from those in the know.

  I have also been invited to share in writing assignments by others who are very well know in the xJW circles.

  I see no need to send this information to WBTS since they have all the reference materials already and we all know how they would react anyway. This information is for people like myself who are struggling to make sense of it all.

  My study is approx 20 some pages and therefore too large to post. I will however send the study by email to anyone who requests it. I only ask in return for comments both good or bad concerning the study. I am seeking to publish the article but would like feed back prior to that.
