Hi James Wind,
Welcome here.
I do not like u think that most people here are moaners, they are imo kind and genuine people here. I agree that most Jw's are kind and decent people, (I am married to one and a have lovely JW daughter), that is not an issue. What is at issue are the policies and mind control of the wts ( amongst other things). i will give you one example, If wife was aware that I posted here she would view me as an apostate , what then happens to my family?.
A lot of us post here also because it is easier to converse with people who understand what we have left..
I know of 2 sex abusers and know their victims in old cong . What is at issue is the attitude of the wts, they deal with it by obfuscation. The policies that they have are more to protect themselves rather than the victims. which is totally the wrong way round.
I agree leaving is very liberating.
I hope you continue posting here.
