Very true. There's also good people in every religion. I had to look past the local brothers and look at leadership, the Watchtower Society and the Governing Body. Did their past show true direction from Jehovah? I figure yeah their imperfect, but they are leading people to what they feel is life forever. People are making life and death decisions based on what they say. Does their past reliability reassure me? How affected are everyday people by the mistakes they make?

I've been a Witness in many states all my life but I've never heard of a Hall being shut down. But I could be wrong. I'm sure someone will clarify.

It's strange because I don't feel I have left Jehovah, just an organization. I feel closer to him and read the Bible more than ever.

My hubby had to take the laptop for a business trip, for 2 days! gasp!

Of course there's a computer upstairs. But to use it I'd have to go upstairs...

I understand your viewpoint. I was raised as one, and for the most part it was OK. Except for when our family started falling apart, then no one was there. Yes everyone does seem loving. But my 12 yr old just found out they are only loving when you are doing everything they think you should. She was shunned Monday by a local sister, while working in the office at school. She's not baptized and I am not even disfellowshipped. We have simply stopped going to meeting.

As a mother I can tell you I feel MUCH better now that my children are away from it all. I have never told them this, but when we talked about leaving their biggest fear was dying. I asked what they were talking about. They said if we aren't at meetings we'll die at Armageddon. These are kids talking. I had them look up who the Bible says would die. Are they wicked? No. They are now using their brains to make decisions, not being told to blindly follow.

Are you aware of the child abuse cases and Silent Lambs? Or what about if your child needed blood or would die. Please do research away from the publications.

My sister and I were just discussing our mom's reaction when she finds out I've left, taking her Grandkids with me. She'll be fine, she'll lap up all the sympathy from her "friends". Somehow she managed to get in with the elite of the cong. Of course Dad's dead, but he came to me the other day. I felt his approval.
