I was raised as a jw and after three attempts at finding a wife and they despised all three I left to find a better class of losers. sadly my parents and sister remain jw's. my sister was disfellowshipped at one point but was reinstated about a year ago. i have been free for nearly 5 years. my favorite story about getting free is getting mad one night when the elders at my motherinlaws congregation took my wife aside to ask her about me. i wrote them a 3 page letter with every lascivious detail of every thing i had done that they would constute sin. it went over like a lead baloon. i invited a response.... been 4 years, still waiting. i would love to hear from old and new friends. congregations where i used to go: eldon,mo area, anna,il area and travelled a bit
