Diogenesister
Trapped since early childhood late 70s until a year before the ARC. Philosophy was the hammer that drove the nail of the ARC into the coffin. JWfacts played a huge part in my awakening too ( thanks Paul) since there I learned that a man like Rutherford, a shady character with a hefty dose of narcissism, was hardly likely to have been chosen by God to lead his earthly organisation. It took me a little while longer to finally accept that organisations are not a particularly Christian requirement and that I had belonged to a cult for the most productive years of my life. Waking up, ironically, was a very humbling experience.

I was a JW who didn't want Armageddon to come as I thought I would be screwed if it did. I wasn't enthusiastic in meetings & field service, could never engage in JW activities wholeheartedly, never could do enough to please the judgemental elders, had secret "sins" & prefered a "worldly" way of life... just could never be the perfect JW portrayed by the organization. After putting up with much bullshit, I finally discovered TTATT & never looked back! I no longer fear the future now. I don't believe in the depressing & unreasonable JW teaching that 99.99% of the world's population would die at Armageddon. I would say that if there is such a thing as Armageddon, a perfect & loving God would find a reason to save me, not to destroy me! (Ps: Was formerly known on this forum as 'Just Kidding')
