we have received reports of many ex-Jws who terminated their lives
Are we talking about xjw who left wts knowing wts was a fraud or are we talking about xjw who believed wts and were df and in weak state of mind thought that they would die at Armageddon or that they displeased God in such a way that there was no foregiveness?
Those who learn wts is a fraud, have a responsibility to others not to preach the cancer and infect innocent people! Whether they decide to leave the cult and start life over it's up to them and how they go about it may vary from one to another based on their circumstances. But to encourage those not believing in the cult to stay because they may not find something better outside is just wrong. With the amount of effort required to pretend to belief the pure bullshit and be fake to so called friends it might take less effort on the individual's part to leave and find real friends.
Just because Ray Franz was a humble man, doesn't mean that all of us agree with how he left but that was his decision probably based on belief that the cult could be reformed as he still believed in bible god. No life nor circumstances are the same and we live our OWN lives and should do what's best for us.
therapist had little or no knowledge about what really goes in the JW religion,
That's why forums like this one are so much better because we were in the cult and understand it.
We all know that the rate of divorce is way much higher outside than in the borg.
Even it that were true, it's better to terminate a miserable marriage and look for something better. Live is to short to appear happy to dubs in a KH and at home have nothing to do with the mate or cheat without others knowing. How many young ones get forced to marry in wts cult only to find disappointment!!!
Choosing freedom is better by far. Stand tall and proud that you're not slaved to a concept you know is a lie!
