I quit!
I'm really not sure why. There were so many reasons. Some of them weren't fully developed yet but were simmering in the back of my mind for years before I walked out. I think I left mentally at least several years before I actually threw in the towel.
There were things they taught that no longer made sense to me but that was only part of it. I was tired of bothering my neighbors on Saturday mornings with beliefs that were begining to seem old and stale. I wanted to go to the beach and enjoy nature on Saturday mornings. On Sundays I wanted to go for a run, relax and read a newspaper. Anything but to to the Kingdom Hall.
I wanted to celebrate the holidays and share in the joy others were having instead of always being a freak for what I felt was no good reason.
I could go on about haircuts, beards, reading books rather than WT publication and a zillion other things but I short I think I just felt trapped. I couldn't take it anymore and remain sane so I left and never went back. I have never regretted my decision.

This is just plain CRAZY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by wasblind in" jehovah's witnesses were not in the concentration camps because they were criminals.. .
when officers wanted someone to shave them, they trusted a witness with the razor, because they knew that no witness would ever use such an instrument as a weapon to harm another human.. .
when ss officers at the auschwits extermination camp needed someone to clean their homes or care for their children, they selected witnesses, because they knew these would not try to escape.. .

Let's remember that Rutherford only took a stand against Hitler when sucking up to the Nazis didn't work and he took it the other side of the Atlantic under the protection of the United States. I believe it would have been totally different for the Witnesses in Germany if the Watchtower headquarters had been located there. Rutherford would have caved in under pressure as he did with the WW1 issue.

I'm glad I read down far enough to see he is doing better. This is the first time I've seen his story. Very interesting. Amazing the amount of nonsense Jdubs put up with. Thanks for posting it Terry.
Wishing Quentin a speedy recovery.

I did know one loud irritating JW who I used to worked with openly refer to non JWs as pagans a lot. I remember him saying things to them like "how you pagans doing"?

This is a nice tribute to Huell by Gustavo Arellano of the OC Weekly. It give you an idea of what kind of person he was off camera.

Yesterday Grandpa died a faithful JW.... or was he.
by cyberjesus inyesterday at 3 am my grandfather.. 95 more or less... passed away after a heart attack... i got the call at 8 am.
so i am the oldest grandson (out of 40) he was faithful, (thats what they want to say) reality is he wasnt, he cursed, he drank, he had plenty of women during his life.. he was an elder at some point and he was ultra good with everyone.
he had a heart of gold... he treated me as his son, he never cared about my status.

Sorry for your loss CJ. Sounds like he was a pretty cool guy to have for a grandfather. Nice tribute to him.
Good luck with the JW funeral.
