Hi to all!
I'm a still 'active' JW living in southern Brazil.
I was born to JW parents so I had been raised as such. My father has been a JW since he was little but my mother became one after they got married.
I have been following lots of websites dedicated to exposing the lies that lie () behing the WT curtain. I want to share my experiences and thoughts with others while I seek to rescue my entire family from the WT organization.
My entire family is inside this cult as is my wife's family; all good-standing. I myself am seen as good-standing and am being encouraged to increase my door-to-door activites in order to be indicated as a ministerial servant.
I'm still actively participating in activities along other JWs (going out for a movie or a restaurant, travelling together...)
I'm still with my stealth mode on!
My biggest concern, and the reason for not having dropped already, is to be shunned by my family as they are really devout. If any of you guys have suggestions on how to better approach them with 'sensitive' material, I'd be thrilled to be enlightned!
I have always had good confidence of being in the 'thruth', but sometime ago it just became clear to me that something was wrong.
I think that the turning point for me was when we started seeing the 1995 generation teaching changes, the credit-card payment option at assembly halls, the imposed change of the song book (which by the way suck bad in Portuguese; the previous songs were written by a brother who was a composer and a kind of a poet; this new one is simply bad) AND finally the dawn of mass communication via our beloved Internet!
Keen to participate as much as I can on the forum. As soon as I get more time, I'll post more detailed info on my story... man I've got stories to tell..
Cheers!
