    ...JW's who've been diligent, sincere and finally realizing that they've been misled from the beginning, by others who are as the scriptures say "misleading and being misled" 2 Ti. 3:13

    Whenever I read an ex-jw's story, I can always easily find parallels with mine, and I can see them just as easily here too. Thanks for sharing. cookie eating

    You could replace the work mormon with WT, Bethel with BYU, and it would make perfect sense.

    When I read this account, I didn't read of someone who fit into the neat and disparaging mold that cult-identifiers want to lump everything into. I am very suspicious now of all emotion-based arguments po or con now.

    I rather suspect I'm back on the same road I was traveling before I took the JW exit some 25 years ago. I'm older... agnostic now having lost the cock-sure attitude that youth confers which allowed me to be an atheist back then...I have the sneaking suspicion that all I'll be able to do before I die is survey the territory that others have traveled to see why these various avenues have been chosen and why ultimately all have failed. to satisfy.

    I am quite disappointed when I find people embracing other flavors of the same nonsense, but I suppose I understand why some have chosen to go back to sleep.

    We must take our jouneys in life, I was Catholic, then JW, I am done.

    I have not read all of this Mormons letter, but I will, just wanted to respond to what you said.
