I'm trying to keep this as short and sweet as possible...
but I was born and raised as a JW. Eventually became bapitized, regular pioneer, and Ministeral servant... Due to family problems, I had doubts. I read COC, In Search of Christian Freedom, and Combatting Cult Mind Control and left. I officially DA'd myself in 2004 after being inactive for three years or so.
I eventually joined the Navy, did a tour in Iraq, and now I'm back. I don't give my life as a JW much thought anymore, since I've done so much since I've left. At times I feel like I have amnesia, wondering where my life went before I left.
Curiosity brought me here because I often wonder what the Society is up to these days. Also hoping that my experience will help others, just as I was helped.
