i have been on this site lurking for over 2 years and this is my first post, i feel so bottled with emotion that i have to let it out somehow so i do not have an emotional breakdown!

i was raised in the organization and am married with 2 children ages 4 and 2. my wife and i have been inactive for about 2 years and i have always had hard questions that were never answered growing up, such as blood policy and how david and his men were allowed to eat from the bread reserved for the high priests without death penalty since it was life or death.

carbon dating on human remains/tools that date back 30-40k years, far surpassing the 6k year man creation date, the double standards and very real "human" aspect on the organization and its decisions and history.

East coaster science is a pet project with me but I can't consider myself a professional but I have two children BSC degrees, that I am sure would be happy to assist you with any resarch you might like to do about evolution and the age of the earth questions? I submit my enquiry with humility.

East Coaster after all the time I spent in the truth, it gives me greater pleasure to welcome someone out of "the truth" than it did to ever welcome someone into it.

Welcome East coaster or herring choker or what ever. Its just my opinion but the best thing you could do is seperate you and your young familly from this cult. You'll get lots of good advice on here. Just ask and you will recieve.

And again WELCOME.

i was going through the personality types of the briggs-myers test (take the free test here) and noticed how some types are naturally inclined to follow rules and expect order, while others are inclined towards feelings and emotional appeals, other are naturally inclined to help out others ... what do you think?

are there certain basic personality types that pre-dispose the individual to adhere to a certain type of religion ?.

It would be interesting to have many here take this test? Then truthfully report the results. Stuff like this facinates me.

I took the test twice once quick and then slow (stopped to really think about it) I'm an INTJ in both. Lends credence to the test and the fact that I am not a JW besides being born in.

Terry I should say that my mother is not totally alone she has the truth and the brothers and my childless brother and his wife and that is it. I feel sorry for her but I don't think she does?
