Hello Applejuice/Brian,
I just wanted to return the favour you extended to me by replying to my thread.
Also i think you may have ended up here accidentally, as this forum is actually for people that were JW or are friends or relatives of active JWs and disagree with the religion. *I hope i have put that correctly guys, sorry if that is incorrect*
It may be a good thing that you have happened upon the forum as it will give you a chance to hear a balanced view, which is something you would not get from a JW or fundamentalist christian.
I encourage you to read this board, and think carefully before embarking on any spritual journeys.
I would also say that there are other ways to find YOUR way in life than through religion.
Think for yourself, dont believe the hype.
From the welcome you gave me on my thread, and some of the other things you have posted you seem like a really nice guy, perhaps a little trusting if anything.
I dont mean that as a criticism, not at all. I wish the world was full of people like you. But maybe you are susceptable to the very sort of people that can not only spot that element in you but can exploit it.
Take care Brian, i wish you all the best in life my friend, and i hope you find the answers you seek, but on your own terms.
