  I became a JW in my late 20s.... I believed that it was the 'truth'. I took me about 5 yrs to realize that it's nothing more than a mind contolling cult. I've been fading for about 2 years now.

  What made me realize that it was all wrong? oh it started with no blood issue, the discouraging of the higher education,no celebration and from there ..... everything seemed wrong to me. I felt trapped and there was a point when I could take no more, I decided to move away from my hometown. The best part is that I was the only JW in my family so no love lost there.

  hello friends, i am a fading jw and i am thinking of attending sunday service at a local aog church here, just for fellowship.

  i have lots of friends but none of them are spiritual minded.

  not that i am complaining but it would be nice to meet some spiritual minded people.

  Wow friends I'm grateful for all your responses and comments. I must admit that I don't know much about Christianity other than the 'JW' version. Which is why I posted the question in the first place. I wouldn't want to end up .... as the saying goes ... from the frying pan into the fire. All your comments have given me something to think about, research and all. thank you.

  Thank you friends for all your comments. I truly appreciate them. The last thing I want is to be controlled by any religious org. I will attend this Sunday and see how it goes. Thanks again.

  Thank you all for the warm welcome

  Retrovirus - I am the only one who converted and got baptised. My mom studied for sometime but she stopped as she was not keen to attend meetings. I am glad that I didn't bring anyone into the cult.

  Hi I just joined this site although I have been lurking for about a year now. I am the only JW in my family and now trying to fade. It's been more than a year since I attended meetings. I see the WT for what it is - a cult. That's all for now!
