Raise hand. I stopped most all activity mainly due to the "double bind" pressure, initially, by my 20's. Finding out the the real truth came from the internet.
Thank you again. To all the links found on this board: Freeminds, Silentlambs, AJWRB, all the quotes sites, Wt Observer. Also, all the sites with research on mind control, Steve Hassan books, Ray Franz COC.
I came here last, but this site started my research of religion in general. Thank you to all those that spent time & energy in publishing your work, part of which is a link here, Research on the Wt. Thanks to the many excellent sites I've visited. All my children have benefited too.
I'll never have the time, dedication, and skills to be a part of a board community like this. (It DOES require just those things, along with really caring, posting to educate or help heal). Just know that the quiet ripple effect continues. I wish there was a way to provide a WT "public service message" to places without much internet access.
Forgive me if I ramble but I wish to add here. To those that help, educate and heal here: At one point it was frustrating to read replies to trolls real or suspected. I got a picture of a professor in an argument with a mentally impaired, street person preacher, on a busy street corner. Now I see those replies are also to help all those reading, questioning, searching, "lurking".
