Hello and welcome seven;
I see how new you really are here but there has been a lot of questions and concerns as to WHO the WTBS really is and whether or not we really had the "TRUTH". Just about any subject has been covered here and if you ever want to do some reading on questions and spirtual answers alot of info has been discussed here by a member called "aguest" over the last ten years. Enjoy your stay~!

Welcome and congrats Sseven.
You have taken the red pill and are now about to learn TTATT (the truth about the truth). It takes a lot of courrage to do that. It sure will be a ride on the rollercoaster emotionally. But it will connect you to reallity, and you will become a whole person. Go slow and educate yourself. There are some veeery clever posters here who knows an awfull lot.
Enjoy
WELCOME!
Remember, if something you read doesn't sit well, research it and make up YOUR own mind, in or out that is your responsibility.
Also keep in mind that no one here has anything to gain by helping you, and I found that most are genuine and truly want you to see real truths.
You had me at 7 inches....
A very warm welcome to you from sunny Wales....glad you are learning the thruth about the Truth.......keep posting, keep reading, keep researching.....take it slowly!

Welcome! Skeeter
Welcome to the bright side of the moon. I envy you for being so young and beginning to wake up about this cult. Take it slow. All things will work out in its own way. You will find great support on this site. I hope the best for you. Take care. Totally ADD
Hello there. Sounds like the wheels are already turning. Just know that this is a one-way trip. There's no going back once you know too much. It's going to hurt quite a lot at first, but it does get better with time.
Your first priority now is the containment of information. You must not tell anyone you know about what you are doing right now. TRUST NO ONE. They WILL turn you in, no matter how much you think you can trust them. Trust no one. You need to know what you're doing before you'll be ready to engage any Witnesses on all this, should you choose to do so.
Secondly, you need to get independent as soon as possible--if you're not on your own yet, move out as soon as you've got the resources for it. (Not necessarily a rush, but it'll help you along if you do that.)
Thirdly, stay away from women, JW or not. This is the most important priority other than the containment of information. You're making a decision right now that will put you at odds with every individual in the organization. Don't be deceived by their charm or their looks or their false words. They will betray you, they will sell you out, you cannot and must not trust them. This is to be taken with the utmost of seriousness.
Last bit of advice, read, read, read. Use your Watchtower Library CD-ROM to verify and do your homework on whatever you learn. Your greatest ally will be knowledge. The more you understand about what is going on, the better equipped you will be if or when you are discovered. The fear drilled into us makes it hard to believe that we're not fooling ourselves about all this stuff. There is no harm in investigating and double-checking. As a June 2000 Awake! once said, "Good educators present both sides of an argument and encourage questions." Or something like that.
Well, keep us posted if you can. And...do be careful.
