    Wings, I think we're here to confirm that we're not alone. No one but another former Dub could truly understand us.

    Well put. Realizing that I wasn't alone was so huge for me. It gave me the confidence to step out and begin to breathe fresh air again.

    A common enemy.

    Post Victimization Syndrome can create some powerful symptoms like wanting to bear arms with people who would otherwise be peaceful.

    I think the need to have a support system outside of family and a need to vent on something that is bigger than all of us.

    Make no mistake, a collective is forming, that will be a formidable weapon, to drain the resources of the Hydra and weaken it.

    Only an organization as stupid as the witnesses, would create their own enemy from within. They never saw us as a threat, because they weakened our structure in beleifs and the family unit.

    They can pretend it doesn't exist, in their dissonance, but all they have to do, is add up what it's costing them, in the loyalty of their future subjects, and their pocket books.

    This board, just being here, will do far more damage than anyone, antiwitnessing their whole lives. The only thing that might top it, is the international news, or massive lawsuits. We are the grassroots movement and we open the door to freedom. The internet has united us in mind, against a common foe, as LtCmd.Lore pointed out. So long as they continue being stupid, our numbers here will grow. It is a voice for the voiceless, a support sytmem, and an instant way to get questions answered.

    Keep in mind this is still very young and it isn't driven by money. It is driven by a desire to get our families back and understand the real truth.

    Tyrone, you said so much I had to copy your whole post. Only an organization as stupid as the witnesses would create their own enemy from within. Poignant.

    We took the red pill:

    The red pill is an unknown quantity. We are told that it can help us to find the truth. We don't know what that truth is, or even that the pill will help us to find it. The red pill symbolises risk, doubt and questioning. In order to answer the question, you can gamble your whole life and world on a reality you have never experienced.

    Understanding.

    To have been on the other side of that mental brick wall, and based action and behaviour toward others on something which you can now see to be untrue, flawed and harmful gives one an understanding of those who have also been there. We can lament our time there together, rejoice over our escape from it together, and give each other input and advice on living outside a high control group, in the real world.

    I once was lost, but now I'm found. And found only here, people who can understand EXACTLY how I feel. Those here with mates and family still in especially so. What a void people used to fall into when leaving JW....I still feel so alone, and I have all you guys to lean on.....Thanks much BTW...............oompa
