I agree with what so many people are saying. People who were never JW's will never understand, and that's OK, as long as we, as ex-JW's don't try to make them understand. Some people, and in my experience this is often men, just don't think about something that they find unpleasant. They'd rather just avoid it. I don't work that way. It drives me batty if I let it fester inside my brain. So I come here to try and make sense of my personal experiences. It really helps me to know I'm not the exception to the JW rules.
My boyfriend was raised a JW but he copes by making jokes. He talks about it every so often, but he doesn't spend lots of time analyzing it. It is what it is, in his mind, and thinking about it a lot won't change anything that happened. My sister doesn't have an interest in coming to this site, and she had some horrendous JW experiences growing up. We each have our own way of dealing with things.
For me, I know I'm a freak, but it helps to know which things I can attribute to growing up in a high-control group, and which things are just my own personal "quirks" if you will.
