Hi, this is my first post but I’ve been lurking around this discussion board for some time now. My husband (the borg) occasionally posts and I had the pleasure of meeting some great people at the Apostofest in Covent Garden, London last year arranged by Bestie and Sweetpea , Hi to you both and hi to Freetothink, Mr Majestic and everyone that was there –hope you’re all ok.
My story in a nutshell: Raised a JW from birth, my whole family, expect one brother and sister (disfellowshipped) are still JW’s - Basically I was raised in a family who were considered one of the pillars of the congregation, we all pioneered and did the whole witness thing, in fact one of my sisters is a missionary. My whole JW world crumbled when I learnt about the JW/UN connection and from that moment on there was no turning back. In fact the more I learned about the organisation the more convinced I was at how dishonest and evil it is. I made my decision along with my husband to begin a slow fade from the congregation. We moved house, about 25 miles outside our territory but it hasn’t been as easy as we had hoped.
Ok, well that’s enough for now, I’ll add more at another time. Anyway it’s great to finally post here.
