Introduction

The other night while attending a small celebration for a friend's recent completion of law school I met and struck up a conversation with the bartender about a book that he was reading which I believe was called Sins of Scripture. The book actually belonged to the woman at the bar sitting next to me who told me that she grew up in a family that belonged to a very conservative Christian religion. As she said these words I thought back on my own upbringing in the 80's living in a Jehovah's Witness household. She then mentioned that she had not chosen to stay in the religion, and had since become estranged from the majority of her family who disapproved of her choice, like so many others.

This is not the first time I have happened upon former believers, and each time I do I am left with a lasting impression. I think that growing up a Jehovah's Witness leaves lasting effects on us and I find it very stimulating to engage with others who had had a similar upbringing and have chosen to think for ourselves.
My goal in creating this blog is to create and foster dialog and not to disparage anyone's beliefs
