oh brother.
Brother, I dont know how long youve been out of the Jehovahs, but I sympathize with you.I was about where you are at some 6 years ago.
Regrettably I have found(after extensive searching)that answers are very hard to find.The more you search and question, the less answers you find.If you still yearn for belief I recommend you stop thinking so much.

Turn back on God because of WTS or JW's??
by IWish4Truth inin my opinion, it's one thing to not agree with organizations that impose certain rules upon it's members, but it's quite another to turn one's back on god himself because of disagreements.
is there not still some higher power out there who has the best interest of humans at heart?
how can it be denied, especially in these terrible times, that something or someone is gonna have to step in and take over and end this havoc.

I will tell you what you want to know.
Im on medication for an illness called Bipolar disorder myself.
Lithium is the medication, prescribed by a psychiatrist.Of the other, say, 5 ex Jehovahs I know well, 1 is outright schizophrenic and is under mental care.1 other is on medication same as me, and 2 others attend therapy with psychologists....
Actually another one (just came to mind)is under medical control for MPD.
of the 6 or so ex Witnesses I know 5 are under treatment and the "sane" one is completely mad,madder than the rest of us, just not under care. -

dont have to answer at meetings.
No ministry school Bible readings.
If you did give your first ministry school talk in sign language
you could say ANYTHING. Who would know?
They would applaude, but you couldnt hear it.
The possibilities are endless.I leave it to others to add to this....

Whats at the end of the rainbow?...I Know!
by OUTLAW insimons thread on noah and the rainbow made me remember this experience.i must have been 7 or 8 at the time.we lived on an island in the pacific ocean,and storms would come and go.our home was right on the beach so we could see what ever happened there.anyway a storm had just past and the clouds had just started to break,and the sun came peaking through.this magnificent rainbow appeared.one end of the rainbow went miles and miles away from shore into the ocean horizon.the other end landed squarly in the yard on our beach.i couldn`t contain myself ,i had to find out what was at the end of the rainbow.so i ran outside and grabbed the clam digging shovel.with my shovel in hand,i ran to the end of the rainbow and started to dig.i dug as hard as i could and then i hit something.so i dug harder to get it out.finaly i had it,it was a rusted out bucket full of sand.ha-ha-ha!so how many people you know,got to actually dig at the end of the rainbow!...outlaw

Russells six "scripture studies" are coherent books.
"Finished mystery" is a collection of junk.
I imagine Rutherford had it slapped together to try and tie his regime to Russells. -

Love those songs. All those people, an' so little noise comin outta theya mouths.All the brothers murmuring the song in subdued tones.
All those sweet lil' sistas modestly squeaking away.Noone wantin their voice to stand out.Possibly some verbose righteous prat will offer the final prayer, dronin' on and...ONNN. An all the while yor
swayin' on yor feet like a tree in the wind, thinkin "finish...just FINISH will yuh?"
