    I lurked for a little bit as an active dub. I already knew I was "on the way out" before I ever joined.
    By the time of my first post, I had already resigned as an elder and started the fade. Reading and posting here encouraged me to stop going to meetings for other people. I was finally compelled to join and weigh in on the issue of Bethel layoffs a few years ago.

    What I am saying is, welcome. And being here will help you. Welcome. Welcome.

    Welcome onefootout!

    The 607/1914 thing did it for me too, and it's remained one of my pet subjects ever since.

    Your fellow paranoiac,

    Ann.

    Welcome!

    Like you I googled "Jerusalem 607" one day and the rest is history.

    Like you I am a lifer and 18 months after my epiphany I have one foot in and one foot out.

    This cult really knows how to lock people in!

    I knew about 587 years ago, but accepted the borg's explanation that Satan's system had everything wrong.

    I left a year ago over 1919, 1938, and FDS issues, and then the dominoes all fell down. I went to an assmebly on March 29, 2008 and took my two feet out that day.

    I hope you can get your 2 feet out eventually too. Welcome!
