    Welcome Brain Dead,

    A while ago I started a thread on this very topic, trying to elicit answers different that "I was born in, I didn't have the choice". Reasons (instead of excuses) for joining, that we could still somehow own to as xJWs.

    Unfortunately my "topic history" is not available for now. When I can get the link I'll post it.

    Ever since I was little I have had a belief in a supreme being....just something inside....tried to read the bible and couldn't understand it...parents weren't religious in the least.....when some folk I knew got some JW books and said they were interesting ...my interest was piqued...(UH OH) and I read them...tbh it stopped my drug habit I had gotten...so I really did think God was with them.....my belief in a supreme being is still there but my belief in his "representatives" however is not....now I'm back at square one....puzzled ninja

    Thanks Highlander, that's the one.

    Ya, I'd have to go with what Ninja said, I too once had a strong belief in god, but some how lost it due to the JWS.

    Strange isn't it that religion can have that kind of effect on people
