But it's mercifully brief.
Actually, "Teeny" sent me. But I eagerly began posting here without first re-introducing myself. I realize that could be considered slightly rude. So here goes: I'm Steve McRoberts, and I used to post here years ago.
I was in the org for 4 years from age 17-21. I was a Bethelite. After they unjustly disfellowshipped my pioneering sister, I began to read the old literature in the Bethel library. Out of this came a long letter full of questions and general apostasy which I sent to the Governing Body. In response, they had the "factory committee" of elders sit down with me for several days of meetings lasting several grueling hours apiece. In all that time they never tried to answer any of my questions, rather they just berated me for having done such a sinful thing, and for "being out of step" with the org. In the end they said I should leave Bethel and I agreed wholeheartedly. They expected me to go back to my old congregation back home, but I never set foot in a Kingdom Hall again.
Instead, I wrote a fictional account of my experiences which became the full length novel: Falling in Truth: The Education of a Jehovah's Witness. This book sat in my closet for decades until the advent of the Internet when I made it available there along with my letter to the GB, and other articles about the Witnesses.
Recently I came across Teeny's hilarious blog site and have begun writing some of my own blog articles for the general amusement of my former brothers and sisters (that's you, btw).
I've been out of the org for 35 years now, and have never regretted that. Today I'm an atheist and very happy to be free from the god delusion.
See you in the forums!
