Heaven
Born-in, never baptized. The problem of theodicy, why an all-loving, all-powerful God allows suffering and evil, began when I was around the age of 10 due to the Ethiopian famine in the early 1970s and God's inability and/or indifference to resolve this massive scale of suffering. As I moved into my teen years, I began to disagree with Watchtower doctrine and beliefs, as well as the Bible itself. Misogyny does not sit well with a teenage girl. I was also having difficulty with Watchtower's doctrinal flip-flops - one that I recall was about Evolution. For 15 to 16 years of my life my mother vehemently and adamantly denied the Theory of Evolution and then one day said to me "You know Heaven, there may be something to Evolution after all." I was gobsmacked. I definitely did not agree with Watchtower's blood policy. Even as a teenager, I could not reconcile elevating a symbol of life above life itself.

I'm a 3rd gen Jw from a traditionally strong Family, Still attend meetings, been at the sharp end of the org in the past,but now I'm in a watching capacity. I have known for many years that all is not happy in the castle that is the WTS. I just wonder how God will accomplish his will with repect to the WTS, in an adverse or otherwise fashion.

Have never been a JW - joined this site to learn as I have a friend who is being sucked in. Finding it fascinating learning all about it, but horrifying too.

Raised a witness ,dissed 4 days after my 23rd birthday. tried my darndest to get back in for a year and a half til it became apparent they werent gonna budge, decided these guys shouldnt have this power over my life so i walked. Chilled for a year or two busy working, before looking on the internet for people in my situation and the final walls broke down when 'apostates poisoned my mind!!' Met alot of posters + Kent, Simon, just2laws, germanexjw and their wives at emans bbq 2005, great to beer with them. hope to live to see the WTs demise, before my family waste their lives completely. I now enjoy meeting with the Sydney Ex jw meetup group.

Non-religious childhood, semi-religious lifestyle as an adult with the cult - now totally anti-religious.
