  I've read & read many posts here mostly very negative. ALOT of you have family that have shunned & continue to shun. This is very sad BUT none of you have ANYTHING postive to say about your JW past! It's all from HELL! There isn't a gram of good in this org. You didn't get a SINGLE good thing out of The Watchtower. Only HELL HELL HELL!! Which brings me to a question..

  Why don't any of u start a splinter group like M. Luther from The Catholic church? Start a reformed movement that holds on to say 1/2 of these beliefs you once believed in as a stepping stone down for your family members that won't have anything to do with you.

  Come on starting a reformed JW group that say doesn't celebrate B Days, Holidays, preaches against the agonizing furnace of Hell & goes door to door with it without it being mandatory seems at least to me to be a good start.

  i've studied with like 30 diff denominations.

  i really feel jw is best for me.

  i think it's the 144,000 part & the once a year get together when they pass around the sacrament that bothers me most.

  I drank the wine:

  Thank you for your kind words. I've had so much hell in my life I've often wondered if there was a God. 15 years ago I had some spectacular paranormal experiences that proved to me there are forces weather negative, positive or both that clearly proved to me that intellegences beyond our grasp are indeed aware about humanity's situation & are about ready to interviene. I was told I had a choice of either the New age path I was on or Christianity

  All of you have been so kind in your heartfelt responses. I'm so sorry alot of you have family that shun. I had always heard about this but didn't really believe it could be true. This is one of the reasons I feel a reformed JW movement should happen. It could be a bridge but what do I know.

  I feel we are so close to the, 'end times' & sometimes I really feel that this kind of congegational oversight would be good for me. I struggle with things like, 'online porn' & the witnesses seem to be the only group cosistently warning members about it.

  I'm 42 years old, male, unmarried. I've drifted in & out of JW studies for the past 15 years. My mother & her accountant both two of the most Christian people I've ever known were deeply concerned when I first started studying. They are both decesed now & it is really really hard to believe they were both wrong with God when they died.

  Once again everyone, your feedback has been such a HUGE help. Peace :)

  Thanks everyone. All of this feedback has been very very helpful.

  Has anyone ever tried to start a splinter group from JW. One that isn't so controlling but that holds on to some core principles?

  All your posts have been informative. thanks.

  I do get this feeling that alot of you have been hurt by The Watchtower. You can't find anything good about it? The liberation from holidays, strong family bonding ect. If you've been shuned by your families that is indeed sad. But this EPIC rage. It's sad.
