Hello there. I just joined this forum today after reading the comments on today's watchtower (which I have to attend in about an hour unfortunately). I was raised in "the truth" and it was only recently that I began to listen to a close friend of mine as he pointed out the secrets and lies that is the watchtower society and governing body. Even though he was informing me for almost a year, he never gave up on me. Heh...Anyway, I'm currently reading a lot of information on the JWFacts website, and "borrowing" some old literature from my congregations library to verify quotes and things not available on watchtower library. He also felt it was a good idea to be apart of this community as my support group. It's hard going at it alone when you're surrounded by family and friends who are told that apostates are of the devil and shouldn't be listened too...

Hello and welcome to JWD IcingHeart
You have come to the right place as most of us can identify with the same feelings and problems as you. When I found out the truth about the Watch Tower I felt very alone, confused and it has helped me so much finding others to share it all with. Look forward to getting to know you better.

Hello IcingHeart!
Welcome! I'm so happy that your eyes are being opened about the WTS! Your friend is a REAL friend, and cares about you very much. Keep reading and searching, and I'm sure you'll come to the same conclusion as all of us here. Maybe one day you'll be the "instrument" in freeing your loved ones from the WTS cult.
It's hard going at it alone when you're surrounded by family and friends who are told that apostates are of the devil and shouldn't be listened too...
This is the scare tactic they use to keep their adherants from finding out the REAL TRUTH about the WTS. Don't let them intimidate you.
All the best to you,
Lavendar
