Blueblades-
What I have consistently wondered is where in the world are all the people that were disfellowshipped over the years? There must be thousands upon thousands of former JWs out there, yet I never seem to meet up with any.
They always say that about 60,000 are df'd every year and about half that number return. There must be alot df'd for independent thinking in that group.
Maybe more haven't found out about forums like this one to make their voices heard, or perhaps thay lay low because they are still plagued by thoughts that God will destroy them at Armageddon?
