I won't be lengthy on this. I have been in the org for about 20yrs. now & woke up about 2yrs ago. I am trying to fade but is very hard while family (especially spouse) is still in & not understand where I am coming from. I will not take part in any talks, service etc. but still go & just roll my eyes all over the place. Still have to be careful though cause family is still in.
My awakening started when a family member asked me about Conti case settlement. I was so blind & told him that there is no way possible & if true had to be isolated situation. it had been bothering me for weeks & finally worked up courage to look up on internet. I was floored! My faith had been shattered! Within a day of reading on JWFacts, JWSurvey etc. I was finally putting together the pieces of this JW puzzle. There was always things that did not make sense to me but always just accepted it like a good slave. All the usual things (too much to mention)
I had been checking on here as well alot over this time period. I really learned alot here & realized that this can be coped with. I finally worked up courage to post here & be apart of something that is so important because I have wasted 20yrs of my life in this CULT! Just need some place to vent & get a little support (really not to needy).
The clincher for me was when I saw that Footloose video. I just had to start posting! That is a travesty & how that can be justified by JW's is absolutely rediculous.
I will not be HUSTLED by this org anymore!! Hence my username NoMoreHustle
Thank You
