I'm the type of person that doesn't easily trust anyone or anything. That's one of the reasons I've always said that had I not been raised a JW...I wouldn't have joined that religion.

In alot of situations, I always look for people's hidden motivation - it's not always a good asset.

As far as questioning JW teachings, it took 6 years of fading to decide that maybe it wasn't the truth. Once I started questionning, everything went so fast! Before then, I would have never pictured myself thinking outside the JW box. Lucky for me, in my congregation not many people cared or tried too hard to help. I guess disinterest has its good points ;o
