    hello everybody
    I am new here so please bear with me. I have been a lurker for the past seven years. I am waiting until
    my daughter graduates from high school before I decide to do something about my status as a Jehovah's Witness. I was baptized in 1974 and believed with all my heart that I was doing God's will.
    However I began to have serious doubts around the mid 1980's. I grew increasingly displeased at the
    diminishing role the Watchtower Society assigned to Jesus Christ. I thought something was wrong with
    me. How happy I was to find out that others felt the same way! I am not crazy after all
    Anyway I just decided to let y'all know how grateful I am for this forum. You have been such a help
    to me as I try to come to grips with the the difficulties of parting company with this organization.

    By the way, my daughter graduates on May 25, 2007... number 2 out of 750. I am so proud of her

    Wow. So you figured it out in the '80s, eh? Probably to be expected, from what I remember of the 80s in the organization--and I was just a kid then.

    Nice career opening post. Shorter than mine....

    Thanks!

    I didn't know anything about formatting or which section each topic should go.

    I've come a long way!
