I'm curious, when you made your decision to leave the org.
Did you do it before or after looking at this kind of internet sites?
In my case I made my decision without ever looking any of this websites. It was two weeks after my decision that I started to log on and see what it was that the WT was so affraid of.

way way before. in my early 20s while pioneering. too much cognitive dissonance due to hypocrisy and discovered doctrinal error.
| Hello Flag. I left the borg first, then a very good friend of mine told me about this site. She's been on here for a couple of years, and she would tell me of the the funnier threads here, so I had too see for myself. |
B.I. (before internet) but once I found this site, it helped.
I made the decision to find out it wasn't The Truth before I started looking at these sights. But I always knew they were here waiting for me and that they would be devastating to the JW faith. I gave myself permission to look at them after seeing something else that they lied about.
i was on the road to success in the organization, i was starting to get priviledges, my talks were good, i was clever and successful, my ministry was good. Why did i leave? my stepdad was a bully, hypocrites, things didn't make sense.
Then on my road to recovery, even now a few years later i found this site
I knew long before I left that it wasn't the truth. Even after I left, I wouldn't let myself go online and read 'apostate' websites. It took years before I did, but once I did, I was immediately convinced that I wasn't losing my mind, and I had been right all along. I've never looked back.

I left along time ago and just recently joined this site in 2005.
I left nearly 25 years ago, I don't think the internet existed then (scary thought). I wish that the support of this and other sites had been around at that time for me.
best wishes
