    Hello,

    I decided to join this forum as have been lurking awhile. There are lots of interesting topics on here that appeal to me.

    I have been a witness for almost 3 decades and am very disillusioned with the organisation at this time. I am beginning to see it in a new light as I am getting older. Nothing seems to surprise me anymore, having read much of the societies scandalous past. I feel that we are chained to an organisation that doesn't allow people to freely come and go, and in which we are are forced through fear to comply with all the crazy rules of this religion.

    Anyway, Hello once again. I am look forward to getting involved in some of the discussions thenceforth :-)

    Regards

    Great to have you on board. It is the chaining, you rightly say that is one of the most distressing aspects of this abomination of desolation that festers on.

    Anyway after that bit of purple prose, welcome!

    Hello and welcome to the forum. There are so many who have been JWs for a long time who are disturbed by the direction the organisation is taking. Refuse to be cowered by their manipulation any longer.

    Welcome aboard, for some it's a home, others it a shoulder to lean or cry on. There's a lot less prejudice here than the org ever had, you've done a lengthy sentence, for some its like a prisoner being let out after doing a lifer. These guys on here are heroes of the poor.

    Welcome to the forum UTC. Good to know that J.W.'s continue to lurk/join due to "mother's" abuses.

    I hope you'll quickly appreciate your freedom to discuss information and express your thoughts here - something which is sinisterly forbidden by the WTBTS and labelled as "independent thing."
