Dear Mrbloo,
WELCOME to the forum!! We too are glad you found this site!! The feelings you are feeling are normal especially if you have been brainwashed for any length of time. I was raised in the organization, so I can relate. However, the fastest way to come out, and be still sane on the journey out, is to really dig in and do some deep research into the organizations history and their teachings. Once you do, you will see that they are nothing but a self appointed book publishing company and a serious cult. It may seem strange to hear this, but I tell you my friend, once you see the deception and coverups, you will know it cannot be from Jehovah God or Christ Jesus, as they would NEVER ever approve of such things!!! Please remember, they have not lied to you. They are the ones drawing you closer to them, by helping you see the so called truth for what it really is..a lie. Once the scales start falling off your eyes will be amazed, and your heart truely lifted. Remember..Jesus said his yoke was LIGHT. If you need a place to start researching, we can help you get the information quicker, as many of us have saved files of many important documents such as old scans of literature etc. So if you are looking for anything, please let us know. Hang in there, as you have just stumbled across a great place for friendship, empathy and support and MUCH information!! Again WELCOME!
Sincerely,
Lady Liberty
