nodoubter: I was by myself in the worst of times, it was there I realized that this can not be Gods organization, i did NOTHING wrong!, please give your self a favor and leave this organization, they ruined my life but I found the strength and wisdom to go on without them,
May I re-interpret your experience, nodoubter?
The people that run the JWs are very stupid, they have an implicit trust in the bible and think it will solve all their problems. Bible principles were at the root of everything they did to you, but the biggest and most damaging bible principle is that we should be like little children in the face of the real adult, the multi-faced YHWH/JESUS. They are the ones that we are supposed to worship and trust.
I contend that only when "they" (the org) follow the Bible's direction and kick us out, do we find our real "adult" selves.
Disfellowshipping is the best thing that can happen to us. Of course, for some, the loss of social connections can be overwhelming and lacking "adult" emotions they try to worm their way back in to fellowship. But like you, many find their inner and personal maturity (that was suppressed by the org.) and learn to stand on their own feet.
Grow you personal (emotional) maturity and continue to be appreciative of the fact that disfellowshipping gave you the opportunity to escape their pressure to be a child.
