I was thinking it might be a good idea to come up with a website like happyexjws.com where we record a short video of ourselves saying we are now happy and briefly explaining why. Kind of like the atheist group who's members blaspheme against the holy spirit. Thoughts?
Are you a happy ex-JW?

I think that is a great idea! The WTBTS always loves to paint us apostates as bitter, resentful and angry. What a way to show them we are not.

Mindfulness aka poppers headspace in a workplace and community appears a pleasant proposition in which exJWs may be inclined to positively respond to that question. In theory!

I used to post on this board in the past as Pierced Angel and Lutece. I take breaks, mostly because I'm too busy with other things, but at first it was a great help to have this board and others to share experiences, etc. Anyway, I'm back, peeking my nose in to see what's up.

Freedom to think and live as I want has given me greater happiness than I ever imagined. I really feel sorry for my old buddies and also realize that we weren't that close after all. I haven't really missed anyone and have met some really great people who find it fascinating that I once belonged to a cult. A

I really cant recall WTBTS talking much about how apostates act, or there dispositions, just to avoid them and their lies....
By the way, I am pretty depressed since waking up, but I also happen to be:
Bitter, Resentful, Angry, and Frustrated!!!!!....oompa

I'm happy I'm an ex-jw.
Happy in general, thats a minute by minute day by day deal. It depends how deep the shxt I'm standing in is.
If I had more money and spent less time making it, I'm willing to be I would be happier.
