The chains may be leasened which gives that freedom sensation, but the bond inside one self may still exist.
The strongest bond is the unwillingness to acknowledge the WTS is a fraud, a cult, that swallows peoples lifes. People see this and frowns. Perhaps they sometimes go a bit too far on a personal level, but it is its essence a reaktion to what the JW's represent. We can make that distinction between the persons trapped in the cult and the cult itself. The cult must be exposed for what it is and the people in it liberated from its oppressive control.
Remember, the WTS works on your mind to get you to NOT criticise the JW system. There are laid in several layers of images of fear that "activates" whenever you go too near the "hot" subject, the fraud of the WTS.
To others who realized the fraud: Get out of the cult! As long as you stay, you support that others get trapped, wether they are raised as JW's or enters from the "outside".
