Diogenesister: I'm kinda surprised they included you, Terry! If you don't mind my asking, how old are they on average, would you say?

I was 20 when sentenced under the Youth Corrections Act.
AMAZING as it sounds - none of these old-timer JWs goes on the internet for research or makes Google Searches about apostates because they've been warned off so many times.
At the last minute, I did not log on and appear with the ZOOM meet-up.
Why?
I didn't want to misrepresent myself to these guys. It didn't feel right.
I have spoken to 3 of them privately on the phone.
I'd characterize most of them as "on auto-pilot". Waiting on Jehovah.
What other life do they know but the always changing rough waters of Governing Body churn?
I detected a wee bit of awareness that 'reservations' are held in their private opinions but fear of exposure (maybe) pulls them back from expressing it.
I'm gobsmacked anybody could live the JW life for over 50 years and without going insane.
I revisit an old Jehovah's Witness friend from long ago...
