I was raised a 3rd generation JW and never even thought to question the doctrines I was taught. Depression brought my life down from my mid 30s. When I needed support the most I was disfellowshipped and forced out of my family. Pretty much hit rock bottom and started to search for the real truth. Thanks to the Free Minds website I started on my road to recovery from that high control cult. Reading the experiences of others made me realise I wasn't alone and I have been healing ever since. I would recommend Free Minds to any active JW to see what their organisation is really about.
