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
How'd you get out?
