i have been coming to this site to read news and your stories for about a year now, but have never posted due to my mortal fear of somehow being found out... i have family in as most of you do, who are all very sincerely convinced that they are on the path of light.. i have never been happy with the beliefs, mainly the doublespeak on the status of women, the hypocrisy, the dramatisation of the smallest of matters, and the general guilt trip that was my life until i stumbled across some hard evidence that my suspicions about 'gods channel' were well founded.

unfortunately i am now addicted to turning over every piece of information i can find, there seems to be no end to the amount of $#*& below the surface.

i will probably remain in this state for awhile, hungrily devouring all the information that makes me feel validated for my stand against much of the mindless rubbish that has gone around me during my life as a jw.

a couple of days ago, i posted a comment for a newbie like me (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/145459/2623555/post.ashx#2623555), and i told him this:.

i try to focus in the few positive aspects of being a jw, and how that can help me to improve myself.

i like to help people too, and that is something that i really enjoy.

The Average JW WILL NOT Leave!!!!

you could have stupid new light every week published and the vast majority aren't going anywhere.

you could see proof of contradiction after contradiction right in front of your nose, if you're a witness.

and you still won't budge.. the reason: mental and spiritual laziness.

Were YOU a JW Who Was Always Afraid, Depressed or Ill?
by minimus in

while i was an elder (in 2 congregations), over the years, i saw most witnesses that suffered from s o m e t h i n g.. either a witness had chronic depression, mysterious ailments that were never clearly diagnosed by a doctor, or were in fear.

afraid to offend another brother's conscience.,afraid to upset the elders.

afraid to grieve the holy spirit.
