(M, 24) I was raised in the organization, but have left it (though officially, I'm inactive). Because my dear parents are Witnesses, I hope to be able to avoid DA'ing myself. But I will stand for what I believe: freethinking. It's "too bad, too bad" more can't see it for what it truly is: a manipulative sect full of false promises and documented deceit. If Witnesses would actually be willing to open their eyes and their minds, they would learn much. (The picture is of my deceased budgie Little Boy Blue, the nicest budgie I've ever known. Sniff. He was SO cool.)
