    Wow, amazing to read all these experiences.

    Luckily, I walked away from them 20 some odd years ago because I wasn't making it financially and decided to pursue higher education.  Best decision I ever made.  I was able to finish my degrees and I still shake my head at how these people really believe, really mind boggling.

    Most family members and friends I knew stopped talking to me, and up to this day I'm glad they did.

    Welcome to the forum.  It's always great to hear of another one that got away!

    Welcome!!

    Some of us haven't cut the cord yet, for family reasons, but the fading is working well!

    Wow! I wish I had gotten out 20 years ago! It's inconceivable to think of all the time, money, effort, etc. I wasted during just the last two decades. It kills me just thinking about the fact that in those 20yrs I gave up every Saturday morning.

    Howdy!

    I was born and raised in South Texas myself. Old Texas Circuit number one. Not down there anymore.

    Congratulations on your escape - glad you missed out on that JW life instead of the other way around.

    I think everyone who leaves is envious of those who left earlier.

    No one ever seems to say "I wish I'd stayed a witness".
