Debates are not always the norm on some exJW forums. In fact Kingdom Halls are no place for debates either - just pied piper follow my leader.
About 9 months ago I began, to everyones regret, posting on exJW discussion boards. I was still extremely JWsympathetic despite being out18years . I am now not sympathetic to their ethos and would have liked to have gotten this mindset 25years ago.
I have woken up to the fact that I am not the only person whos personal life has felt like garbage for so many years and has put it all down to my own faults in spite of giving my everything! I woke up and realised that there are seriously hurt people who are then shunned! It is not the LOVE of God divine messenger it claims to be! It is a wrong status to bestow upon itself! After convincing people it is, it then knows the ruination it will cause in many lives and then just washes its hands of these often lovely, sincere people who then go apeshit! It is a CULT! And I am surprising myself writing that!
It's why some will not tolerate proJW propoganda!
