Hello to all, I must say, I never thought that I would see the day when I would find a site about disillusioned (mostly) Jehovah's Witnesses, but low and behold...one truly exists. First Let me start off by saying thank you to the creators of this site, and I'll have you know that I've been lurking for several days now and I am just finding the time to finally log on. I've been a member of the Borg for over 20 years now, been baptised for about 14 of those years and now i find myself in the most unusual of places. Ready to leave the organization physically, I checked out mentally ohh about 10 years ago. It's just taking me a while to officially come to terms with that. This organization has been a big part of my adult life, I've seen many friends come and go (mostly go) and I have observed many changes over the years in the WTBS, and one thing that I have come to realize is that whether or not this is the true religion, I feel that it is populated by some of the most loveless, judgemental, and hypocritical people I've ever been around. It's hard going into the meetings everyday and listening to all the rhetoric that I've heard over the years and not come to the realization that much of this stuff is BS. I've often wondered if there was a place I could go that would somehow feel as I do, well guess what, here it is. I have much to share but I would like to learn from everyone else. I know I didn't pose a question or anything but I would welcome any responses you can give. Again thanks for having me. P

Glad to meet you, pele38! Yup...they bill themselves as the Tower o' Love, but it's pretty much the exact opposite.

Welcome Pele.
I too was surprised when I found this board, I was under the impression that Apostates™ were all these bitter, foaming-at-the-mouth born again types trying to save JW's from the fires of hell. lol
