Might I enquire how you got into and out of JW?
My parents were inactive JWs. I was heavily indoctrinated by my mother, even listening to the tapes of the horrid bible story book. When I was 13, I saw someone die. He was cute, nice, and I had had a crush on him from the second I saw him. It was devastating. I started praying. Then, my JW grandparents found someone to study with me. I should mention I was also homeschooled. So, JWs were my only community.
I got out just by letting myself think critically for the first time in 25 years.
Well OK. I applaud you for that and everyone else here should do likewise. It is hard to reason ones way out of it.
FWIW I was born and raised RCC yet here I am as an atheist.
That being all said, be aware the various god botherers sneak in on the claim that they have lost their faith. Dishonest? sure. But they still do it
