Bitter ? No..
Saddened, regretful, angry sometimes, kicking myself for being stupid...
But we still have to look forward not backwards
Do you ever feel bitter...

Honestly, no. I even thank being a JW for refining me in some parts of my life experiences and for inculcating in me the need to always want to strive for better. How ironic that this thinking is what has helped me to evolve from the borg.

I drink a lot of Bitter, does that count ?
Regrets are a waste of time, I was born in and too stupid to wake up until I was 58 years old, I am what I am to a great degree because of that experience, living in the mad, deluded JW world.
But I am free, alive, relatively healthy and can do all sorts of things (i.e I may have a cigar at Christmas !) I can educate myself, meet people and make friends regardless of who they are, I can give of myself in so many ways to make the world a better place for others,
DAMN , LIFE OUTSIDE THE BORG IS GOOOOD !!!!!!!
but too short for bitterness, too short to taste every Bitter in the World as well I fear, but I am having a damn good try !
Love

Sometimes I feel bitter but mostly sad that I wasted so much time. And that my kids were made to be left out of so much. Even now, my little grandson is afraid to eat a cupcake because it was for a birthday before football practice. It's totally insane to make a child feel that way. His dad is out thank goodness and hopefully his mom will be someday.

Good postings. I am bitter over the injustice and hurt I received from the Borg after all that I have put into that arrangement. I always wonder what my life would have been like if I never became a jw. Would it be better or worse, I really don't know. But I am happier now than when I was active as a jw. I definitely am not under so much pressure of constantly being monitored in the cong.

I don't feel bitter very often, but sometimes I do when thinking about my mom. I miss her, or at least the person she was before her recruitment into the Watchtower cult.

get over it, alreadyhowever, i feel deeply remorseful for
what i allowed to be a cultish

normalcy for their childhoods...locked in stone

my foolish and unwarranted allegience to

Dear All,
Thanks for your thoughtful posts. I agree with you all!
I'm most sad for loosing my fleshly sister and for loosing my best years but as you also say, it has made me the person I am today and it's better to look forward.
Love
