Where else will you find such true friends?

it always bugged me when i would hear or read that the only true friends you would find would be those you made in the organisation - nobody else will really stand by you when you need them.

it used to puzzle me when (prior to being disfellowshipped...) my true friends and my close loving family didn't make contact with me for years, right when i was very deeply depressed and i needed them.

certainly i could have put myself in their lives more pro-actively, but, it's a very effective control tool to tell people not to bother befriending a non-witness; even if they don't damage you spiritually, they will never be as loyal to you as your brothers and sisters.

Old Soul,

I was told some years ago that tact was not one of my strong points . . .and they were right.

If, in your estimation, my post had guilt-ridden language I do want to say there was no such intent. As a matter of fact I had a brief discussion just the other day with a regular poster where I said I did not want to post a very similar topic because it was a subject that indeed would be guilt based.

This may be an excuse, but I've worked my entire life in an occupation that demands quick decision making with no time for discussion ( due to life safety ) and, whether good or bad, it has carried over into my private life. I can be abrupt. All I was trying to say was that with the remarkable experience and wealth of knowledge among all the XJWs, something CAN be done to let Joe Public know what is going on.

Evil . . . you're right, it's going to take a long time but the job WILL get done; one family, one kid at a time.

Paul

I want to apologize for hurting Sunspot and anyone else with my post. It was a gut reaction to Sunspot telling me that she didn't think I was credible in my posts because I've never been a JW. NO, I don't know the pain that XJWs know . . . however, I most certainly do know the pain of a broken family with kids raised in the WT by their JW mother. And if it weren't for the ALMIGHTY controlling elders of the local cong ( in the 70s ) that scared the crap out of everyone - including my wife - with the 1975 BULLSHIT, then life could most certainly have been different - for alot of people.

I stand by my original post and re-ask the question, " Why haven't most of you XJWs gotten off your ass and done something about the MONSTER in Brooklyn ?

You certainly do have some heros and roll models to help you . . .Randy Watters, Danny Hazard, Gary Busselman, and many, many more out there. Get busy !
