I was associated with Jehovah's Witnesses because I was raised by Witness parents and was indoctrinated from a very young age. The doctrines of the book publishing business became my core beliefs and these were very difficult to penetrate. In the end, my loyalty to the corporation was displaced by the incredible behavior of the members of the corporation itself and I became irregular, then inactive, then absent.
Later when I decided to return after I had my questions answered I was amazed to see elders actually run away from me, Witness officials as well as relatives lie to me over and over, and never ever answer one of my questions.
Well I dug up the answers myself and at first I was shocked at what I found.
Happy to be free.
