  What turned me away from the WTBTS.... PART 1

  sigh.... wished i would've introduced myself proper in my first post here, but having the fear of being found out too quickly or not being the right time made me censored myself from revealing too much info.

  recently though, i just felt the need to get this off my chest, despite the possible risk of being called out, which several jws in good standing are aware of my exact situation.

  i registered at the new site (jw support something) since theres some buzz of this site is going off line, but hadn't received my confirmation email yet.

  Welp- Talked to an elder

  spoke to an elder and mentioned i had some concerns that need addressing.

  he asked if it's about the organization and i answered with a simple yes.

  it's something i don't want to do, but for some reason the better half thinks it's necessary, as if i need a different perspective on my research and maybe he'll be able to shed some light on my doubts.

  this is what exactly what my mom said to me yesterday.

  loving, isn't it?

  funny thing is, before we got into our spat about the wtbs, i asked a simply question.

  after the memorial, we decided to go out and grab a bite to eat.

  my family and i went out with a witness couple that we consider close friends.

  for the last couple of weeks, i've expressed my views re: wts to my good friend openly and turns out he had the same thoughts and doubts as well.

  since i last posted my introductory post here at the jwd, i've gained the confidence to openly speak to friends and certain family members about my take on the wts.

  so far the response has been positive.

  the wife is accepting of my stance, and understands.

  welp...

  it's been a crazy ride for over 25 years, pretty much raised as a witness (ever since i could remember), rebelled against my parents, came back, straighten out for a little while, married within "the truth", but the last 5 to 7 years, i've been seriously questioning the changes and doctrines established by the wts.

  never thought i would be looking from this side of the fence.
