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.

I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row. I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru. Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello, I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When I'm bored, I build large suspension bridges in my yard. I enjoy urban hang gliding. On Tuesdays, after the Theocratic Ministry School school, I repair electrical appliances free of charge. I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don't perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have been caller number nine and have won the weekend passes. Last summer I toured New Jersey with a traveling centrifugal-force demonstration. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. Children trust me. I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once read Paradise on Earth, Reasoning with the Scriptures, and the Book of David in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed several covert operations for the WTBS. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me. I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami. Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. I have made extraordinary four course meals using only a mouli and a toaster oven. I breed prizewinning clams. I have won bullfights in San Juan, cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the Kremlin. I have played Ruth during an assembly drama, I have performed open-heart surgery, and I have spoken with Brother Franz. But I have not yet been born.
