I'm done with the first phases of becoming an atheist and settled in. Just want to find like-minded people. Nice to meet you.My first instinct is to mention that most Jehova's Witnesses seem like very dedicated believers, but I suppose as with any other denomination, there are degrees of loyalty to the cult. Were you pretty deep in, like knocking on people's doors and stuff or just a moderate believer?
Either way, welcome to the forum and to the world of being an atheist. It's not always as comfortable, but it's, in my opinion, a much more honest way to live in concern to the question of god's existence.
With JWs, you're not even counted as a member unless you go door to door. But yeah, I was in deep. My husband was an elder, which is the highest rank in a local congregation. I started learning a foreign language to preach to refugees.
