I left the cult way too late in life. But here I am. 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.

Former JW

Welcome! Join the fray!
One thing you never see: A guy in Boston, Mass. with a Union flag yelling "The Nawth's gonna rise again!"
Welcome aboard.
For what it's worth, it seems like I'm too late to bring up this point about his OP: Whether or not it's possible if something can come from nothing, it's clear that God, if he exists, definitely violates that principle: After all, what is the creation of the world but his creating something out of nothing?

Welcome.
Some years back a new coworker (who became a great friend) had recently left the JWs. It was a terrible experience for her but she made it through with help from friends and a bit of therapy. Hopefully you too can move forward to a happier life.  
Welcome. I love your name/avatar.
Welcome!

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 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.  RE: Former JW
