As a former JW and ex-Bethelite who left around 1976, I was disfellowshipped and shunned. I blazed ahead without looking back. Paid my way through college and law school. But I always try to educate anyone who inquired about the JWs. There is no doubt in my mind the JW organization is a cult that meets the B.I.T.E. Paradigm Keep up the great work. I have set up a monthly donation to your website. Thank you for helping others to achieve freedom. God bless
