Hi all!
I've been off the board a while, a little longer than I wanted, but only recently could I sign back in. My old screen name was Zack.
I have enjoyed reading all the posts and all the info that keeps me up to date on the goings on of the WTS.
Officially I am still in, although my life has changed radically. This Memorial will be three years that I have not been to a meeting, and i resigned as an elder six months prior to that.
Long and short, the WTS has cost me my marriage. No way my wife could reconcile her living with someone who
"turned their back on Jehovah." It all finally came to a head a couple of months ago. It's over.
I'm glad to see all the Newbies here, though, and have had a chance to meet some ex-JW's in my area. I have also hooked
up with some old friends who are faders who admitted to avoiding me since I was such a company man. They told me they always thought I was too smart to believe all that BS. Intelligence, however, is no defense against gullability. It was good to hook up with them again.
A hello to all of you and thank you for all your topics. They have really helped to see keep me going.
