I just wanted to introduce myself and say a big hello to all of my mentally diseased friends.
I say friends because I have been lurking for some time so it feels like home (us lurkers are a bit scared and cautious so it takes a while)
I won't bore you with too many details, but I am a born in, currently serving as the cobe of a congregation. My wife and I have pioneered for the last 10 years and were shaken awake by that ridiculous 15th July 2013 WT about the generation and 1914.
My wife who is much smarter than me has questioned for years. We researched all of the old publications about 1914 and realized there was no evidence. How about that - could this group of men actually lie to us? :-)) Looking at the false with your eyes open makes you feel so stupid. We also hate what they are doing to victims of child abuse - it's disgusting that they will take ones to court - we should be paying them and helping them, not DFing them and making them relive the torment.
I know a lot here have turned away from God, but we feel that turning to Jesus been the single biggest factor in our finding peace after being in this stupid thing for over 40 years. This forum was also a large help along with jwfacts, cedars, jwstruggle and a bunch of other very giving and dedicated people.
At the moment it is very hard to stay in - I feel like a fraud. I thought I could help from within, but these people are so brainwashed, it is very hard to get through to them.
I am still not sure of how or when I will fade but I suppose we will stop pioneering at the nearest opportunity. Just about all of our families are in including cousins and the like. I am not sure if we will go out "with a bang" or not. I have noticed it does not seem to change anything, it just strengthens the resolve of those in.
Anyway, hope to share more on your posts too, but really want to say thank you to those on this forum and others who have really put themselves out there trying to help the entrapped.
