jhine
l am a " middle aged +" woman who has never been a JW , in fact a life long Anglican . Through doorstep conversations with JWs l became aware of WT teaching and in an effort to learn more l realised how much this cult destroys lives . So l came here to learn how to converse with JWs and " witness to Witnesses " .

Just a curious non-JW who is in to comparative religion. I've known quite a few Witnesses over the years which led me to research the denomination.

LoisLane looking for Superman
Born in. A true Believer. Woke up after I read CofC. I was shocked to realize I had been deceived by a corrupt world wide real estate business that only masqueraded as a true religion tso as to snare naive people like me. My whole life's decisions were based on a group of egotisical men who thought up weird symbolisms that "proved" their's was the one and only true religion. So they printed books, lots of books and made us true Believers sell them, in that way, Brooklyn headquarters considered themselves a Bible and track society Christian charity. I didn't get divorced because god hates a divorcing... To be in a loveless marriage for almost 40 years, to keep putting up with abuse from a narcissist husband / Elder because you don't know where to go what to do who to trust, is life draining. Simon's site has been an oasis in a desert for me. Where we can come together, understand what happened to us and to heal. I have actually met some of the posters from here. All fine people. I hope we can all find strength to move forward and enjoy some sembelance of happiness.

Xanthippe
Born in and was a regular pioneer for ten years. My husband was also a pioneer and an elder for four years before we disassociated 29 years ago. I am now a widow and have a daughter. I no longer believe in God. I try to live ethically and make decisions each time on the given circumstances rather than follow someone who says they have a hotline to heaven.

I've been awake since late 2009. I was partly raised in the "truth" since I was 5. I found out about the story behind Noah's flood which led to learning what evolution really is then finding out the truth about the truth. Today I am more knowledgeable about the bible than I ever was as a witness and I'm not really certain if a biblical Jesus ever existed.

dazed but not confused
Born in and baptized at 13. My mom raised 3 of us in the "truth". She was a '74 convert. I sobered up from alcohol and less than a year later sobered up from this cult and joined reality at age 28. Born in Washington state but currently reside north of Denver in Colorado.
