I joined this website 2009 and loved it ever since. Since joining I over came great obstacles with this supportive group. And am now happily married to my dear supportive husband. We have two precious children a boy who's 4 and a little girl who's 2. I'm now living my passion; free to choose what speaks to my soul and to help others whole heartedly without manipulation or control. If you need someone to speak to please PM me!

Born & raised in JWism (New Zealand). Hated 90% of my time in "The Truth" even as a 10 year old I was figuring out the TTATT, sadly I hung around on the edge of "The Truth" until I was 40.

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.
