This is my first post. I've been lurking since I started a Bible Study with a JW woman (casual friend too). I felt roped in but was too polite and slightly intrigued so was studying and taking what I learned with a grain of salt. Thank God (literally) for this site - I'm hoping all that is shared is read by people like me. The lovefest and community extended to me was overwhelming, if false. To know that the JW faith is indeed a cultish one and based on lies gives on strength to move on. Thank you!
