LoisLane looking for Superman
Born in. A true Believer. Woke up after I read CofC. I was shocked to realize I had been deceived by a corrupt world wide real estate business that only masqueraded as a true religion tso as to snare naive people like me. My whole life's decisions were based on a group of egotisical men who thought up weird symbolisms that "proved" their's was the one and only true religion. So they printed books, lots of books and made us true Believers sell them, in that way, Brooklyn headquarters considered themselves a Bible and track society Christian charity. I didn't get divorced because god hates a divorcing... To be in a loveless marriage for almost 40 years, to keep putting up with abuse from a narcissist husband / Elder because you don't know where to go what to do who to trust, is life draining. Simon's site has been an oasis in a desert for me. Where we can come together, understand what happened to us and to heal. I have actually met some of the posters from here. All fine people. I hope we can all find strength to move forward and enjoy some sembelance of happiness.

My parents and I became JWs when I was 10 years old. I served at Brooklyn Bethel from 1994 to 2000. I learned the REAL truth in the fall of 2007, and disassociated myself in April 2008. I'm a huge Beatles fan.

Raised Jehovah's Witness, Baptised at 14 in 1996, Aux pioneered regularly, had 'demonstrations' almost every week at the TMS. Strong standing 'example' in the congregations young group. I Left in 2003, but still always thought it was the 'truth'. I Love Jehovah but doubt the leadership in the organization, as well as the failed prophesies, blood issue and questions regarding the UN. These things I've only let myself examine since May/08. WOW is all I can say. I for the FIRST time in my life, doubt this Organization. PM's are welcome, but I am NOT into JW bashing. I wish peace to all my brothers and sisters who are in search for the truth. I hope you find what you are looking for...

I was a jw for over thirty years. In 1999, I had several experiences in which I noticed without a doubt that this religion was not the only way that God was dealing with humans. If anyone wants to believe them I have no problem with that, however I believe there is something wrong in a major way with their religious system and I feel that I have outgrown it. I'm currently studying more about the earlier religion of my youth, and looking at JW history in a new light, the child-abuse stories and the way that the WT society deals with them, and the flip-flops regarding prophecy, after 30 years I cannot believe that I bought their material, hook/line/and sinker all those years.
