Thank you for your comments.

I'm at a stage now where nothing about the Society surprises me. For a while I was obsessed with finding all of the nitty gritty stuff that I was lied to about all of these years. Now I'm not even interested (at least not obsessed). I have a different view of the Society now. They don't control my thoughts anymore (although they still have more influence over my actions than I would like, though).

It just feels good to be able to let these things out. If it wasn't for this board I would have just DA'd myself right away and might have become bitter toward my fellow brothers - not to mention shunned. Thanks to many of the comments on this board, I was encouraged to take my time and "not let them destroy" me. This was wise counsel for my situation. My wife and I have a great relationship and she totally understands where I'm coming from. My immediate family understand as well and will always love me (they would never shun me).

Unfortunately my situation is the exception and not the rule for the majority of witnesses. I am thankful to Jehovah for this support group.

Thanks to all for lending an ear!
