The frame of mind of recovering/recovered ones is such that they are able to assist those still in turmoil after having their faith shattered.
This is exactly why forums like this (community) is a valuable tool to recovery.
Only the person who has walked through losing your faith in the Watchtower understands how much this loss functions as a process and not as a one-time event. It's an unpredictable course that's frustrating to everyone.
One of the most powerful things we can offer is empathy and emotional support.
We can put ourselves into a newcomer's shoes..because, we have actually been there.
More than anything else this board should be a place of caring and understanding. All the doctrine, scripture quoting or scientific evidence in the world will not heal a broken heart.
I might add that many hearts have been healed through laughter. Laughter is really a great medicine.
Once the heart is on the mend...then the mind can begin to heal.

You should take note that I was hooked into trying to fill up a glass till it was overflowing but I learned that close family may react by throwing it back in my face and complaining about not overdoing things and how they would never do that. And I still have the empty glass to remind me they were right - on both counts! So go give yourself to the WTBTS and see what's different! I did! And here I am!
