I only recently discovered this forum and lurked awhile before making my first post. I've benefited from what I've read here and have received helpful answers to posts. Although I was a complete stranger to them, some forum members took the time to PM some additional information to me; I really appreciated that.
If there has been some repetition in thread content, as a newbie I certainly can't complain. Quite the contrary: it's all new to me. In fact, I felt that some of the "old hands" were being rather generous to us newbies in their willingness to go back over ground that must have been covered before. As time goes by, perhaps I'll tire of reading the same old things over again. If so, then I just won't read those threads. On the other hand, maybe I'll toss in my two cents to try and help someone else who's new.
One more thing, I truly wish that this site and freeminds.org -- and the public Internet/Web for that matter -- had been around when I was first being sucked into the JW org., or at least when I finally left it some twenty years ago. I think that there's a good chance that they would have spared me some misery.
