Then go. But stop in once in a while and shake our apostate hands and share a digital drink with us.
We'll do.

I've always said that leaving and becoming Ex-Ex-JWs is what we should do.
Some will stay around longer than others and if it's the help other people then that is a good and healthy thing.
When people just replace Ex-JW-ism for JW-ism though and substitute one community for another it can cause problems. I see this when people treat forum issues as almost life or death personal attacks. Heck, "it's only a forum post"!!
I think it's particularly sad when people who were kicked out of the org even 20+ years ago are still frequenting online forums with purley personal interest (ie. not there to help others but to 'belong' to a community). When they put so much effort into trying to win friends and adulation and be popular within a particularly small and specific community then I wonder how much 'growth' they imagine they have really made.
