PIMI TO POMO IN 18 MONTHS

Leaving the JW Org. My Journey, My Thoughts.

Most people are told, “Live your life to the fullest”; I was taught that this life is temporary, not to enjoy the present, but rather look to the unknown future. I was raised to put stock in ever-evolving beliefs championed by a group of men with no formal biblical education. Then I woke up. This blog, PIMI to POMO in 18 months, serves as a vessel to relay my unique past experiences, project my newfound passions, and take my readers on the ride with me as I explore life after the cult. Thanks for coming!
