i loved your post
it was on the money - sometimes former jw simply forget the type of indoctrination that wt does on some members- in my exp the biggest bad mouth jw are the ones who upon leaving wt are the best folks you will ever meet and that has been my exp since day one on the net
the best thing in my view is much like you said--- i firmly believe if more former jw would shower these guys with tons and tons of love and kindness despite thier IGNORANT COMMENTS it would melt them like
a hot knife thru butter
- they often come here well trained by wt to expect folks spitting forth vemom and hate and sad to say that is what they often see which then becomes a confirmation of what they have been programmed to expect
so they leave uneducated but fully convince that just like the society said is what happened-
case in point is a bible student
he is told early on that eveyone will not like him learning new things and studing- well as soon as his family and friends find out that he is studying they GO OFF and just like the jw told him along with scriptual support of a MANS OWN HOUSEHOLD LINE
they have it confirmed that this must be the truth cause my family and friends are pissed off
same here they come here and many former jw fall right into the trap that wt has set
how sad
