    "Look, I've just come here to try to help people DEAL with their situations, if I can. ... "

    Urk...

    Night Owl, you haven't gone thru the things that many on this board have. In terms of experience with the Watchtower Society, you're still a "babe in the woods" compared to many of these peoples' life experiences...

    People like Lady Lee, Blondie, Jamie Bowers, Moshe, Undercover, and many more, have a combined experience between them of practically every issue that could arise within the Organization...

    Can you honestly say that you personally have experienced EVERY issue that arose???

    And, unless you're an accredited psychiatrist or psychologist with [at the very least] a Master's degree, which is highly unlikely given the Watchtower Society's antipathy towards higher education, you really AREN'T in a position to "help people DEAL with their situations..."

    But thanks for the thought, anyway...

    Zid

    Nightowl,

    no hard feelings, and i appreciated with all sincerity

    what you are trying to do, but people need to be allowed

    to vent, grieve, and be heard, this is a part of the healing

    process for many. for some it may take longer, we have

    to allow them that. even if we think enough is enough

    i ain't through myself, and i'm not ready for someone else

    to tell me, ok your time is up, get over it

    Night Owl not a good idea to invalidate the painful experiences of many posters on this board by assuming they are driven by resentment. You'll lose most of your audience by taking such a subtly judgemental stance.

    Your well-intentioned words would mean more if you acknowledged that the resentment corner is very crowded by all sorts of human beings, including as it does a fair number of active Jehovah's Witnesses.

    Night Owl... I do NOT resent them or you....I have had a support group for over 700
    for over 26 yrs now.... It costs money, time, & heart ache to see what the false prophet
    has done to so many good people. I LOVE J.W's,but I also love those the WT stole from me. I am 83

    don't expect to ever cuddle them again ....I am glad you think by teaching us we should "Get over it"
    I guess the training you recieved as a MS servant is hard to get over. We even let you hold the microphone

    They taught me I was TOO direct...I guess they were right in that teaching..
    I feel for Night Owl...But it irks me to see he thinks we have "failed'..
    Just sit in on a group of ex JWS Or read the BOOK "JIM" By June Caldwell.
    My heart aches for all of us ....IN the W Tower & OUT!!!once our mind was captured...
    It was hard to unravel it.. So many left & figured " I am no good so I might as well continue "sinning".
    As Jim did...or they become unbelievers, ME???? I Love God. Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit..
    I will shout it from the roof tops if necessary "Jehovah's Witness teaching is EVIL!!!! Yes they teach
    some good. like quit smoking ( I did) but to the Gay's & Lesbians( I am not one)What they did to them is OUTRAGEOUS!!!

    How many killed themselves after they were told by MEN!!!! ?
    How many left their wives ,/husbands /family as they were told to do.

    Night Owl ...You evidently have your eyes open as all owls do ....Glad you have.sorry about your
    lost family. I drove my hubby nuts when i was one. i made 10 people JW'S Yes I am SO SORRY

    I was caught in the net of that false prophet
