Life was comfortable familiar sense of belonging.. brotherhood..direction..meaning..save the world etc. So why don't I go back? I don't trust Mother(Org )any more.. she is a cruel egocentric lying bitch incapable of loving anyone but herself. She even turned my wife and family against me convincing them that I was the scum of the earth because I didn't agree with her.
I enjoyed life as a JW

Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner
But he knew it wouldn't last.
Jojo left his home in tucson, arizona
For some california grass.

Wearing her high-heel shoes
And her low-neck sweater
Get on home loretta
Get back, get back.

Yea, I really enjoyed being told what to do, giving up some of my favorite music, having to be out in field circus all day when I had better things to do, and going to every boasting session no matter what. Sure sounds like a lot of fun. Also, the joys of having a headache after a boring a$$embly, and wasting the time going to the Grand Boasting Session. Not to mention the wild good time of passing a plate of crackers and a glass of spoiled grape juice.

Don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel.

I guess that was the difference between you and Wizard, ... I have a problem with authority. I kept all my books, all my music. In fact me and a few bethelites listened to Heavy Metal regularly, even went to a few concerts. If I didn't listen to my fleshly mother, why would I listen to Mother Borg?
I don't regret being a JW, and I certainly don't regret leaving either. It was an experience to say the least!

"She even turned my wife and family against me convincing them that I was the scum of the earth because I didn't agree with her.'
Well, that stinks. Just hang in there o.k.? I guess all you can do is continue to show your family lots of love, and give them logical answers as to why you feel the Watchtower is not the "truth". Hopefully time will show them where the real truth is and is not.

I did enjoy many aspects of my JW life. I had many many friends as a young man and was very popular. This didn't apply to everybody. I really tore up the midwest in the early 2000's. Of course, there were huge sacrifices which I don't think were worth it at all. When I realized it wasn't true, there was no longer any value in sacrifice.
Then again, I would have been just as popular at school as I was with JW's if I hadn't alienated everyone by being a stupid screw!
On the serious side, the psychological solution for the "belonging need" is to form individual identity. Those raised as JW's will often suffer from a lack of individual identity.
