Had doubts, and was incredibly unhappy for years. I lurked here for about 18 months and officially joined 7 years ago just as I was physically walking out the door. I was 39.
I agree, with the comment, that so many of us have left at middle age or older is because of the availability of information. In my case I would probably still be in the windowless walls of the the watchtower if it wasn’t for the net. My biggest regret was staying for as long as I did.

Who is considered more bizarre?
by incognito2014 injws or mormons.
from a public point of view not from people within the religion as that would be obvious.. examples of extreme beliefs or behaviour would be useful..

It wasn’t until I left the JWs that I started to take a closer look at the LDS. I remember when I walked out the door, thinking that it wasn’t possible to get any more crazy than the JWs. I was to latter realise how wrong I was.
From a doctrinal point of view the LDS are in a more precarious position the JW. Its hard not to think of the BoM as a veneer for a conman who was a sexual predator. Honestly, Rutherford had nothing on Joe Smith / Brigham young.
Now, if we put doctrine to one side, as a life style choice, I would choose LDS. I Wouldn’t even have to think about it. Basically the LDS are a weirder but more user friendly version of the JWs.

I was privy to an irate phone witnessing conversation
by joe134cd ini happened to be privy to a phone witnessing conversation that my aged father was conducting, the person on the other end just climbed into him.
he got real nasty and my father ended up hanging up on him.
i could see that my father was distressed about it, but or course put it down to satan and persecution.

I just breathed a sigh of relief as I thought to myself “ I’m so thankful I’m out of this crazy cult.” 😀😀😀 -
