You won't feel indifference to them whilst they still control your life.
How do you go from hatred of the WBTS to indifference to it.

I know I don't feel indifferent. I hope I never do because even in some small way I can help others avoid being victimized by this group. That being said, it would be easier to forget about them if I didn't have family trying to indoctrinate my daughter, or parents who think the world of this assinine religion. However that does not mean that being angry at WT is the main focus of my life. I have a wonderful career and am active in community affairs. I have great friends and a wonderful relationship with my kid.
The nice thing to remember is that it's okay to feel differently at different times. We don't need to buy into the WT philosophy that anger felt towards them indicates that we are bitter, unforgiving hatemongers. We are people with different makeups and experiences. And we have every right to feel what we feel. Now if it is impacting health and/or preventing one from being functional in one's life then changing how you feel may be in your best interest. Otherwise hey, a feeling isn't + or -. It just is.

I know there are a lot of retards that love to exert thier authority.
But most are victims of victims and truly beleive they have found "truth"
Even many at the top are totally sucked in like those guys in 'awakened at Gilleads' video of the school he attended.
They seem so nice and sincere.
I know that dosnt make things right.
But we where suckered in too and contributed to the belief system.
Im angry at myself that I want bright enough to work it out untill I reached my forties.

easyreader,
I feel exactly the same way you do, unlike us they have a multitude of legal persons to cope with most of what comes their way.
All we can do is to use what was one of their favourite sayings ;
"We will leave it to Jehovah"
I hope with all my heart I see that day.

Easyrider,
The main thing that will help in this regard is patience and TIME! It was some seven years before I was finally getting on with my "worldy" life. I had to deal with an unbalanced ex-wife who tried to pit the kids against me by telling them i was going to be destroyed by Jehovah at Armageddon. I know at the beginning you feel anger and immense frustration for falling for this load of dung, but believe me when I tell you the passage of time is a great healer and restorer. Eventually much of the anger will turn to pity for those still caught in the trap.

I never really hated them, but I'm not indifferent to them, either. Like a lot of other groups that deceive, and cause pain to people, I want them to fall at some point. I want their corruption to catch up to them, and for them to be exposed for the fraud that they are. But life's far too short to spend hating anyone.

I think it's pretty much impossible to become indifferent to the Washtowel Slaveholdery. Not only are they trying to hold your family hostage, but they will try to ruin your life if they get half a chance. Plus, it is proper to hate them for the bad things they do for society.

Articulate whatever purpose you feel you have during your stay on Earth.
Identify that small handful of things that place you squarely in the center of your purpose.
Know how your purpose and activities therein differ from those in your life as a JW.
Keep chipping away at your purpose by doing those things.
If you are doing them only often enough that you still have mental energy available to give in to schadenfreude, you're not doing them enough.
Schadenfreude is a shelter and reassurance for the weak, which frequently include those who will be, but are not yet, recovered.

I am in the reverse track!
I started with the indifference, when my wife joined the happy band in the 50's
I have tolerated so much over these years that I am now developing a severe hatred for them.
The severity and regularity of the elder's lying is just unbelievable.
