Hi I am new. Thanks for the food at the proper time.
by 2+2=5 ini have been lurking on this forum for a few months and thought it was time i joined in.
a big thankyou goes to all who post here, i have enjoyed immensely all the thought provoking discussion and not so thought provoking (thanks recovery/ethos).
i have had heaps to get my head around recently learning the truth about the truth and as i remember reading here before its like digesting a brick.

Hi everyone - I'm a long-time lurker. I posted our full) story in Members-Only
by goatshapeddemon inwe're in a situation where it's risky to us to be identified because we've successfully faded (.
suffice it to say on the public post that it's another "higher education" gone wrong story - so much for "it's a family decision".
it's more like, "we may say it's a family decision, but you know what the right decision is.".

It's Not What You Know...
by Socrateswannabe in...because most of what people are searching for is unknowable!.
the more i use my brain instead of let the wts do my thinking for me, the more i believe that it's impossible to identify truth.
i think we're capable only of identifying what is not true.

30 and Out?
by Black Man in30 that seems to put jw's at a cross-roads?
i've known so many who have decided to abandon ship at either the age of 30 or either after 30 years of being baptized.
i fall into the former category.

Advise Needed : Should I stay should I go ?
by raymond frantz ina year ago i started looking heavily into "apostate" websites ,now after a year i'm convinced that i have been lied to and kept in the dark for so long .i hate going to the meetings having to cope with these disgusting watchtower articles .unfortunatelly my family are still in wife and kids and i have raised them to be good witnesses .i feel betrayed by the watchtower and i'm sure if it wasn't for these evil men in brooklyn 99% of all witnesses that wake up would not have an issue changing all the wrong doctrines .these satanic men who dare call themselves "anointed " have spend almost 40 years, especially since they changed the baptismal vows and after raymond franz's exit ,creating a "prison of the mind" ,if anyone wants to leave they have to kiss goodbye friends ,family and start all over again .what shall i do stay in and try to work against them or leave?
any advice will be appreciated.
