  u.s citizens: if you intend to vote in november will you vote for bush or kerry or are you undecided?

  please with just one word give your vote for this very small poll: bush, kerry or undecided .

  those outside of the u.s.: who are you hoping will become the next u.s. president?

  Kerry absolutely. I hope the door hits Bush's @ss on the way out.

  Won't it be fun to have the Ketchup Heiress as First Lady?

  They are young yet, as they mature there's a good chance they may think about things differently. Keep writing them. There is always hope. And with the way things are going with the WTBS, maybe soon their eyes will be open to all the deception and guess whose arms they are going to want to run crying into when they find out the truth about the troof?

  Hugs

  Another survey from Lee

  reading simon's post about how things used to be i started thinking about how the internet has changed things.

  many believe the internet and the freedom of information it contains will be the undoing of the wts.. when i was a jw, there were a few dfings but maybe one a year or even less.

  people drifted away but we really didn't pay a lot of attention unless it was a close friend.. in here we see new people coming in all the time.

  What year did you leave? Late 70's/Early 80's

  How old were you when you left? Started fading late teens/early 20's. Once I got my hands on some exjw stuff a decade later, was well and truly mentally and emotionally free in my early 30's.

  Did the internet have anything to do with your decision to leave? No internet back then...

  If you left before you got on the internet what reading did you do about the WTS or cults that helped you make your decision? None. I lived in fear of the big A for years and years.

  What was the one most important reason that helped you decide to leave (even if the decision was made for you through a DFing).

  I would rather be dead than live forever on earth with nothing but JWs around me, and I despised meetings and FS more than anything else in the whole world. So I thought I'd go "worldly" and enjoy whatever few years I had remaining having fun.

• If you left and still thought it was "the truth" what helped you change your mind?
