Avashi,
I agree with you, and I personally never use that word to refer to anyone. All people do stupid things, whether they are developmentally disabled or not. You will find people of all IQs in a religious cult. There are some people I know, who were developmentally disabled, who saw through the Watchtower bunk long before I did.
Holly's 'goodbye' letter quickly drew 152 postings as of today.
Dotsprefer,
Holly "goodbye letter" was a condescending a parting shot made by a snob who asked for everyone's help with her questions and then presumed to tell us off before she walked out.
She claims to know what we feel deep down, but she hasn't a clue for for the absolute contempt some of us have for the Watchtower Society. Deep down I know it to be one of the most insidiously evil cults ever to enslave good, sincere people. My fervent wish is to see it eradicated from the face of the earth for all of the harm and suffering it has cause thousands and maybe even millions of people.
Her holier-than-though attitude is what drew the postings. I, for one, will not miss her in the least. Sincerity and patent honesty? Actually I have for several weeks began to feel that she was being disingenuous, but was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt.
Here is her message in a nutshell:
After several weeks of asking you to help me, I know the JWs have the Truth, so bye. You know it too deep in your hearts. You losers need to come groveling back to a book publishing company to have any sort of life, even though they f***ed you mentally (some of you physically). If you do, then you will truly be worthy of God's blessing. Have a nice day.
I think that sums up my take on her message. How's that for sincerity and patent honesty? Frankly, I'm surprised there weren't 1000 posts after she basically told us all to go F ourselves.

Whoops! This post got across my point, but it was not that brief. Too bad.
