THE TWELVE STEPS OF EX JWS
Step 1. We admitted we were powerless over posting and reading on XJW forums.
Step 2: We came to believe that reading and posting would heal our wounds and restore us to sanity.
Step 3: We made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to some higher power and or more worthy purpose.
Step 4: We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of JWS and other XJWS.
Step 5: We admitted to ourselves (sometimes) and to other posters the exact nature of our wrongs and rights according to us.
Step 6: We were entirely unconsciously ready to expose our selves of these defects of character by our writing.
Step 7: Wiser persons who had walked ahead of us down this painful path towards healing and recovery humbled us at times.
Step 8: We made a list of all the persons that harmed us and we were liberally willing to harm them.
Step 9: We made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would mean eating crow.
Step 10: We continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly dismissed it.
Step 11: We sought through flame wars ala fight club to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood him, it was blissful spirituality to get into knock drag out fights. If one forum did not do the trick we joined and fought in several.
Step 12: Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these fights, we tried to carry this message to others newbies , and to put our past behind us and get a life.
