Before you learned the real truth about "The Truth", did anyone try to help you get out of JWs?

Yes, my husband did. He tried to kindly reason with me. He tried to go hard-core with the reasons it was wrong-by starting arguments with me about it. Finally, he just started to plant some seeds of doubt here and there. I resisted all of those attempts. Several years later, I did some research on my own and Damn-what a shocker I got!
Thank goodness I discovered the realities of the WTBS (WatchTowerBullShit). I am grateful my husband was patient with me(mostly) and the blinders I had on.

It's just difficult to share something with our families that we know will upset them. I know I will NEVER return to a religion of any sort. I am agnostic/atheist(not sure) and I don't believe the bible is from God. It would devastate my mom if she knew this is how I feel.
Personally, I choose not to share these feelings with my mom. It's difficult sometimes because she is very zealous. Not sure what to say to you but just wanted you to know that there are others out there with similar issues.

My mom is friends with the sister who studies with her. That sister, from what mom says, is all for this decision. She's probably some lonely, bitter , envious pioneer. It makes me sick to my stomach to think of what this woman is doing to her family. Hell, they've been together, unmarried for over 15 years, he couldn't be too terrible of a man. This woman has no idea that she will be by herself as long as she is a witness. Her kids are going to grow up and rebel, their dad will not be home to help out.

A woman who is studying/attending the KH where my mom goes has 8 kids. The oldest is 15y and the baby is only 7 weeks old. After studying for some time, she decided it would be morally right for her and the kids father to get married. He agreed and bought her a ring. They set a date. This guy isn't studying with the witnesses but based on what my mom has told me he sounds like a decent guy. Yes, all of the kids are his. He doesn't oppose her studying, helps out with the kids getting to the meetings as much as he can and thinks the studies are a positive thing for his family.
Well, she gave the ring back and made him move out of their home. Why you may ask? Because it would be just too much trouble in the future if she got baptised and he continued to be 'worldly'. She didn't want to risk her 'spiritual' well being by taking that chance. All in the KH are applauding her for this wise decision. She's sacrificing for the truth!
I don't know about any of you but this story really pissed me off. This woman has 8 kids. Who is going to take care of them financially? Even if she gets child support, it doesn't make up for the in house assistance she was getting from the dad. Why would the congregation encourage this woman to remain single? What a bunch of idiots!
I feel so sorry for the kids and the dad.
