still in recovery mode, only da'd 2 months ago - but my family and workmates sure have gotten an earful. I feel sorry for the next J-dub that comes-a-knockin' at my mom's door - she had kind of resigned herself to my being one of them, and was trying to see positives in it, but now that I've left and have told her the truth about the troof, she's even more upset about it than I am (you have to know my mom - she feels your pain more than you do).
Last week my boss expressed admiration at how the JW's will go door-to-door even in the worst neighborhoods. *Sigh* I wish she knew what it was really about, but I don't want to overstate my case to her, that could serve to feed curiosity she may have.
THE Jehovah's Witnesses are a cult - I kind of like adding the "the" - thanks Reborn
I was first a supporter of reform. Then I realized the extent of the corruption and the absence of any redeeming value in the WBTS. I became a fighter. That was five years ago. Along the way, recovery just sort of happened as a result of my board activity.
Now I'm a liver. I'm living a good life. I consider it "the best revenge". If an opportunity to strike a blow for goodness comes my way, I strike, but I'm not on the march. I'm busy living my life.
I only faded away a few years ago, and I don't have the freedom just yet to speak up about the JWs publically.
I tend to live my life with the same attitude as Comf's. I'm concentrating on learning how to live again, and how to view things thru non-JW glasses. It's a huge learning curve, but one I'm enjoying every day.
