Not really a newbie (though sometimes sorta still feel that way) but the way that I found this site was by typing in a google: "disassociation letter" as I was working on mine and wanted some sort of template. The *right* way to write one. Links with the url of this site were mixed in with some others, I clicked a few and then spent the next few days [and nights] reading and reading here...

I found this site by clicking on the scroller at www.freeminds.org. I think the first topic I viewed here was about the end of religion tract. I'm not really sure, but I found that site some time in the beginning of october. I can't believe I went four or five years keeping all of this inside.
I'm not a newbie but I found it through the freeminds site.

My wife, Mrs Smith, started searching for answers and googled 'Jehovah's Witnesses' and there it was. No 1! I reluctantly started to read this 'Apostate' information. LOL. The information blew me away!
I spent a few months just reading and checking that the information was indeed correct. It took me about a year to make my first post.
I don't remember how exactly I got here, but I had decided to research the history of the dubs to be better informed about my (former) religion, and I took in all the info from apostate sites. hehe.
I googled Jehovahs Witnesses and found the site: http://members.aol.com/beyondjw/ (Beyond Jehovahs Witnesses). I read everything on that site and found it both accurate and reasonable. He had links to some discussion boards, I clicked on some and took a look (this was one of them).
I also emailed him directly with appreciation for his site. He replied to my email and recommended that I read more on discussion boards (recommended this one by name and link). I started reading and couldn't stop -- joined within a day or two.

The site I just mentioned (that directed me here just over a month ago) is no longer active! I just went there, and it says
"For philosophical reasons, I have discontinued this web site.
I recommend no religion.
I find Buddhism interesting."
It was a wonderful web site. Its reasonableness and accuracy appealed to me.
I hope TC is okay. Maybe he just got tired, he's been running it a long time.
