Good question.
I am not bitter either and I could not even began to name all the injustices I have sufferd because of my mom choosing to stay in the religion and me subsequently having to be deprogrammed. I almost physically died in the process.
Now I am at the stage of live and let live and I hope I stay there.
Yes people are continuing to choose to let the bOrg determine how they live their lives. Well just like all things there are consequences for the choices one make. I was totally blind and 100% in the bOrg for a while. It was not my choice as a child but it was my choice as an adult. I am not bitter with myself for making that choice nor with the bOrg for existing. It's just life. And now that I am free i am sooo much more in love with life then I have ever been. I wish all in the bOrg (current/past/future) could experience this but until they do I will keep compassion in my heart for them even though I choose not to associate with most of them. No bitterness what so ever though.
I think I have just forgiven all (not to be confused with forgotten) and accept the consequences that came/come from the choices I and my parents made/make. But I don't put blame or fault with it or even negative energy toward it. Because negative energy coming from me to a person or bOrg proves to damage me more then anyone else. And with all of that said there has been times in my past that I was bitter. So I totally understand that feeling and mind set. I'm just over and through with all of that now. I really only want positive energy to be within me (and around me).

Here are your results: You got 8 out of 12 right, or about 67%.
This is a pretty good score, but you could do better. Make sure you meet your dates in a well-lit room. -

This is so sad.
I have friends (ex-friends) that are still in and are in a constant state of urgent anxiety because of stuff like this. They can't live life with true peace because of always being in a urgency mode.
It's truly sad.

Hmmm ... after so many years of exposure to JW's and people who say they represent what god has to say it was pretty clear to me that anyone could find a scripture to prove just about any viewpoint that they personally had. Projecting ones own thoughts and beliefs and finding a scripture to back you up on that is pretty easy to do. But I guess what was the final straw for me was the obvious lack of love through constant judging of one another. And the always applying scriptures to others and not to themselves.
JW beliefs are not my truth. And if there is some universal truths in what they believe (which I think that is a slim chance) my inner peace that is a constant for me lets me know that I am on the right track for my personal journey no matter what they believe.

That when I am feeling very open and full of love myself and I look into a person's eyes even a stranger's eyes that there is a connection there and I can visibly see them feel it. That to me is fascinating and awesome.

OK, I't My Turn As The Newbie
by BlackPearl ini'm not sure where to start, probably in two major areas.
mechanics thing, that can't work, and what i see as the lack of true love in the brotherhood.
i've been in "the truth" or lack thereof, for about 30 years, give or take a little.
