Thanks for your feedback. Nice meeting you!!

I've read both apostate bibles by Raymond Franz, Crisis of Conscience and In Search of Christian Freedom. Seems like Gentile times reconsidered will be next.

It's such a nice feeling knowing that there are more people who think like me.

Regarding me having sacrificed a lot, I must add that she also made an equivalent effort. While my bible study was ongoing she kept firm by my side, even against her parents will and that of the elders. She remained without privileges during all the years while we were dating, and even one more after we married. In total, about 7years. She only got them back after i got baptized. So she had to carry the "bad association" label for a while. That was, naturally an extra pressure i had hanging in my mind. Everyone kept reminding me that it was my fault that she wasn't getting them back. Yes, she temporarily caved after almost 5 years but in 3 months we were back to our dating routine. We even kept things going while i studied abroad for one year. Of course such attitude was viewed in a bad light by everyone... oh well.
