    Because of the control issues - and all the cult information on the TV locally because the Branch Davidian siege was in our geographic back yard. I began to realize the common links between the BD's and the JW's, and then that's when my started thinking!

    I got out because the Elders told me I had to make a choice between my new job working for a government agency (NASA) with good pay and benefits, paying off the enormous debt I was in, or “do the right thing” and return to my TV repair / janitor / security guard jobs and live like a pauper.

    I chose to provide for my family, pay my debts off, and have a meaningful and challenging career. In a nice way I more or less told the Elders to shove it. That was the major break for me. And then some years later I put the word watchtower in a search engine and that was all she wrote.
