I have the same desire, but would like to include the whole of evangelical Christianity, and not just the JWs. Having registered with ex-Christian forums ( like Ex-Christian.net ), I've read countless testimonies of former genuine, heartfelt, members of conservative evangelical churches who, having eventually realised the man-made nature of Christianity in its entirety, are haunted by regret over having joined these churches. Many of them have sought professional counselling to help them come to terms with the profound anguish of their regret. I've been posting the testimonies of many of these ex-Christians, on JWD for a while now, although the last one was deleted by a site moderator.
Of the ex-JWs that I know, who have remained religious, most of them have joined evangelical churches. How sad it will be for them when, having become disillusioned with the JW branch of Christianity they, after going on to spend years as an evangelical Christian, then realise that they have been deluded for a second time. I wonder whether one day there will be a message board for ex-evangelicals, who are also ex-JWs.
I tend to shy away from using the word, 'cult' because a cult is always, 'The other guy's religion', never your own. Many ex-JW, evangelical Christians would describe JWs as a cult, and yet it has to be said that many ex-Evangelicals regard evangelical Christianity as a cult too, and are fiercely opposed to it.
Whilst Christianity here in England is slowly fading away, there is a vocal minority of Evangelicals in my home town, who preach in the town centre at weekends. Although nearly all of the towns' people avoid them as assiduously as they avoid JWs, I do feel that that some people could be misled by their propaganda. Just as I would would like to do my bit to make people aware of the dark side of JWs, I would like to do the same thing regarding evangelical Christianity, so that even fewer people are deceived by its biblicist mythology.
