this is a very strange thing for me to do.
i have been an active witness for over 25 years.
i currently serve as an elder and i conduct the watchtower study.
Welcome thedog1, thanks for showing courage and opening your heart. You say you haven't reached the tipping point yet but watch out - if you continue the way you're going, it could be a matter of days . . . it's going to be a bumpy journey. You will however come out the other side but it takes time. jwfacts.com will set you free.
Look forward to hearing more from you.

it just amazes me how born again christians and jws are fighting and mudslinging at each other all the while not looking at the real problem in front of them the bible.
the bible has been used for thousands of years to committ all sorts of horrible crimes against others.
i am so sick and tired of reading about jws did this and that and christians did this and that when both groups will refuse to explain all of the contradictions and outright discrepencies in the bible.
unstop you are getting confused between facts and beliefs
everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, but no one is entitled to their own facts
when your beliefs contradict known facts then that will be pointed out to you
*EDIT - posted by besty from sweet peas computer....:-)
so where do you start?.
i've been reading peoples experiences for several months now trying to figure out what i want to say but how do you put your whole life into a few words?.
i was a born in but have been happy and free for 5 years and luckily for me my husband felt the same way and we have freed our children from being brainwashed.
Welcome you too, great to have you here. Thanks for sharing your story - a lot of pain to go through to get to this happy place. If ever you're down in London you'll find a warm welcome at ours - we don't venture up to Scotland much these days although JW family is up there . . .
Absolutely loved your exit - very classy. Time over again I wish we'd done something similar.

Those people up North are just plain dodgy . . .
i am scheduled to do it next month.. if you have completed the training:.
- what did you get out of it?.
- knowing what you know now (post completion) what would you tell others or have done differently to prepare?.
Dear SnowQueen, you've shared some of your soul so eloquently on a 'Landmark' thread, I'm sure everyone would love to hear your story on a thread of its own . . .

Incredible story. Interesting comments from people who immediately think of how Jehovahs Witnesses would fare in the same situation.
Mind you, they could have just prayed instead . . .
