Most ex JWs are bitter and twisted. They have a chip on their shoulder that they wasted so much of their life. Many end up making a proper mess of their lives perfectly exemplified by Lloyd Evans.
yet on the other hand for those leaving the cult it is only ex members of the cult who could ever understand what they are going through
everyone wants to be part of a community to have a sense of belonging and you lose this once you are shunned by those still in the cult.
Here in London there is a lot of talk about gangs and how young men want to be a part of a community who understands them so they join a gang but the gangs are full of broken people and then I heard the quote “broke people can’t help broke people” it struck a cord with me thinking about all the ex JWs who are now looking for a community to fit in again now they have lost their last one and they are being shunned
you really need someone who is not broken but understands how you are feeling
And that is the hard part
