    That question terrified me for several years. It's NOT the truth. Let your logical mind wade through all the emotional responses they try to get.

    Remember, you are not throwing away your Heavenly Father, just the people who claimed to speak for him and they lied.

    Easy. If the universe is as the JWs say it is, you don't want any part of it. Live as you like and accept the judgment from the petty JW god.
