Well, it is 32 minutes into my second year of posting here. When I came here, I knew nothing of H2O, Kent's place or FreeMinds site, though I did get his newsletter. When I came here, I certainly did know the JW experience. However, there were several things I learned. I learned that some people had anxiety attacks at the Kingdom Hall. I learned about pedophelia in the congregation. I learned that about the UN scandal. I learned that college is sanctioned in the magazines, but not in the local congregation, nor in the convention talks. I learned about the elder system and how incompetent they are. (I left before the elder arrangement began, that's how old I am.) I learned about the writings of people not in print, like AlanF, Farkel, Norm, and Amazing. I also learned about the intense conflict that can occur between those who left but have very different ideas about life. (No, we do not have a common goal.) This past two years have been quite a trip for me. I have created a few enemies, but I have made many more friends. For that I am very thankful.
Merry Christmas to you all!
