  I left because I came to the conclusion - after almost 45 years - that the JW's are just another Christian religion and the Christian religion is just another religion - they are all on a deadend road going nowhere - as was preached during the early 20th century of the JW's "Religion is a snareand a racket" and as Karl Marx said "religion is the opium of the people" Old Karl was right on ... religion is like a narcotic you breath it in long enough you'll believe just about anything and you will see visions and you will dream dreams but all it is an illusion. Sad but true .. But for those that leave the JW's and think they've found true Christianity , the lord or whatever are just as dilusional as they were when they were a JW.

  Answer to "are you still considered an apostate" No ... they will consider you just a weak minded person that needs to be helped. Example a couple of days ago a good freind of mine (JW) said to me I just want to give you a big hug - I said what! he said I just want to give you a hug! My reply was ... why? are you nuts? he said I feel sorry for you because you are a man with no hope...... which was a mistake because I then demonstrated what an apostate is. He's a very good friend and I could get away with what I told him any other (JW) they would have had a heart attack.

  45 years in the inner circle and I have to be very careful what I say and to whom. If they find out that I'm not just a weak minded stumbled sheeple - they will track me down - I know "been there done that"

  In response to " I'm racking my brain" - I'm new to this so bare with me - there isn't any reason you should be disfellowshiped because of what you now believe. The way they should handle this situation is that they should be patient with you and attempt to help readjust your thinking. The only time they should take judicial action is if you start teaching your ideas to others. When I say teaching -- it could be just discussing it with someone in a pasionate manner. Basiclly what I'm saying is you can believe what ever you want just don't tell anyone - crazy isn't it but that's how it is. If you want to voice your concerns do so in question form only. There is more that I could say but I'lll leave it for another time. Hang in there..............................
