To Any Jehovah's Witness Reading This---Please Think About Getting Out!
by minimus in
1. jw
2. friends
i sympathize with you.

you may feel there's no where to go.

you might worry that you could lose all your friends and family.. you might believe it's better than the other religions and you should just "wait" on jehovah/the organization.. you might have doubts but you might feel a spiritual connection.. all i can suggest to you is to please think about your life.
