Raised as a Witness. Pioneered two years. Disassociated myself in 2000 at age 29. 2001-2004 US Army. I Was a very strong Witness until eventually, I started studying very deeply and I could not get adequate answers to my questions even after writing to the Society several times until they ignored me entirely. I could not live a lie and stop myself from 'thinking' so I disassociated myself and left for good. Since then, I have learned much about the history of the Society and it's dominance by men who believe they are the 'channel' of God's proclamations.
