I was raised as a JW but have not been involved since about 1982. I was disfellowshipped when I was 25 years old and guess why. I was honest unlike so many other JW's who lie there way out of being DF'd. At this point I have hatred towards the religion since it has caused my family so much turmoil. My family does not know of my hatred towards the religion though, only one brother does. I have a mother and father and two older brothers who are still active that do not know that I hate the religion. There is too much depression with those family members to tell them how much I hate the religion. I feel sorry for them.
