Hi I am in my late 30's,married,female and was a JW for 20 years. I left 12 years ago and was disfellowshipped a year later for discovering love and doing it (at last!!!!!!) Had years of torment and Armaggedon nightmares till the internet revealed the true nature of the religion I had still believed was THE TRUTH. Wow. It's been a liberating time letting it all go. Would be happy to reveal my id but am forced to keep quiet for my mum's sake who is still a JW but now knows everything about the society but is not ready to throw away 32 years of her life. I think she keeps hoping she'll wake up and it's all been a dream and i'm still pioneering and she's still blissfully ignorant.
