Hi All.

Thought I would give you a quick introduction and a little background.

I am from South Africa and currently live in the city of Durban. I am a former Jehovah's Witness who left the organization, and religion altogether, after I decided to do independent research into the JW doctrines and Christianity as a whole. Of course this is something that is frowned upon in the JW organization. You are not allowed to question and will be disfellowshipped if you do. In a nutshell, you are a drone!

After uncovering all the lies, cover-ups, false prophecies and the plain stupidity of it all, I left the JWs. I wrote two books about my experiences and exposed the JWs for what they really are -a publishing company masquerading as a religion. Needles to say my books Losing The Faith and Cults:How They Work,were not very well received amongst the JW community here in South Africa and worldwide for that matter. This to the extent that I was tracked down and confronted by two elders from the JWs at my house. This no doubt was under the instruction from Brooklyn headquarters after my books became available on the internet.

However, I am now a proud atheist and am free from the bondages of religion.
