“ Hello - I'm Kelly. Raised as a JW, stepped away after age 18, but my mom is still VERY active. A big rif in the family, when they talked my 15 year old daughter into getting baptised. I lost ALL respect for the religion at that point. ”

“ Hey all! Was a JW from birth. Baptized and then df'd a few years later. Best thing that ever happened to me! Never been happier. Leaving the JWs gave me the kick in the ass I needed to pursue my real dreams in life, such as becoming a lawyer! ”
