I was a 3rd generation witness. Baptized in 1962, was a pioneer, ministerial servant and elder. My wife and I were disfellowshipped in 2010 for " talking against the branch".needless to say we had some major disagreements with the local elders and their disfellowshipping of our 14 year old daughter for being raped. It took me a couple of years of attending as a df'd person to finally wake up my wife woke up much sooner. Since then I have read extensively and been active on facebook ex jw sites.
