I commented on your thread # 3 about posters who I knew on that list personally or had talked with before explaining the good qualities they have and how they've helped me in my life. Of this list here I've talked with 5 of these people who I can shed some good, positive light on.
MOUTHY- Everybody's loving, kind, yet positively spunky grandmother on the board. My wife and I have chatted only a couple times on the phone with her - and find that she's a very caring, kindly informative lady who is much younger than her years and one of the most authentic, real persons on this board. Her faith in her spiritual beliefs works for her and I admire her for that. She has a great sense of humor as well that is really cute and engaging! Love you bunches Mouthy. I admire that she overcame a lot of stressful situations in exiting the Witnesses. Still deals with the stresses as I do, but she deals with those stresses with dignity and class. Very classy individual.
ON THE WAY OUT- One of the closest friends I have on the board. He has been a great encouragement to my wife and myself in dealing with stresses we have had to cope with after exiting the JW cult. I admire OTWO'S straightforward conversations and communicating ability. He cuts to the chase , cutting through the bull$hit and gets to the point, yet does it diplomatically leaving a persons skin and dignity intact. Some may consider him opiniated - yet if you were cornered into a dark alley you would want On The Way Out with you having your backside. A very faithful, honest individual who I deeply respect as having overcome lots of difficult challenges in his life to gain his freedom of mind exiting the Witnesses. His efforts to assist others and share his JW exiting story by the recent release of his new book is a much needed story as it helps people to realize what odds they can overcome in leaving Jehovahs Witnesses mindset. Thanks OTWO for being there for my wife and me, love you bunches guy !
KUDRA- My wife and I have known her as a good friend for quite a few years now like OTWO and she is a really great communicator as well with a fantastic sense of humor ! She is probably one of the smartest, most incredibly well educated people on this board as she got her bachelor's degree in the last year or so. Even though she's well educated she is VERY fun to hang out with and be around. She has a very modest view of herself and is good at being on the level with other people. We've been with her at the Tahoefest and she came to visit once and is just the easiest person to be around. She makes everyone around her feel at ease and puts out positive vibes with her aura of loveliness. Really cool lady.
00DAD- I've chatted on the phone a number of times with 00DAD and his and my stories are very similar in that we both have had to deal with our JW kids shunning us. We have talked to each other about these challenges and have tried to support each other with ideas of how to cope with the situation. 00DAD is a very polite, intelligent, well spoken individual who as I've got to know him better gradually has a deep sense of justice like I do which makes me feel even more kinship with him. Would like to meet him in person sometime. One of these days I think it will happen . Look forward to getting to know him better.
RAY PUBLISHER- Another really nice, proactive individual who I've met once and is a lover of justice as well after exiting the Witnesses. I admire Ray immensely in the efforts he is putting out in getting people together in his area and his efforts at exposing the WT society. Although I've met him only once face to face and chatted on the phone once, I'd enjoy getting to know him better . I'm happy for him that he now has his freedom of mind after exiting the JW cult and is finding personal happiness as well. Good luck Ray ! You deserve happiness !
I also admire greatly the other posters on this list and they've all helped me learn a lot on the board. Look forward to knowing them more too. But the ones I've mentioned are the ones I've known personally so thought I'd give some insight to them

mamochan13mouthy - a great lady with lots of history. Has survived in spite of what the WT has done to her. Lozhasleft states mouthy A special granny to us allHey Mouthy,
Its very sweetening to know that people still affectionately think of you no matter what. Yes, as appostates, we do care for our own more than the Watchtower. Is not that very encouraging and upbuilding?
