Blame the imperfect people not the organization?
by Ghiagirl ini met with a good family friend of mine who is a jw but will still hang out with me...apparently after this last time trying to encourage me.
lol.
but i shared a fraction of how i feel about the organization not to disrespect his beliefs, he just went off on the usual well it's an organization run by imperfect men and you can let the people affect you and need to remember it's the right religion and we need to put all that aside.

I think many of us have been where you are. It's very frustrating trying to reason with those who literally have a generic answer to everything...imperfect men, persecution, media lies, ex Jw's lie and the catch all " just wait on Jehovah" -

I'm amazed by the strength of the younger generation of ex JW's!
A couple of years ago my daughter stood up in front of her class and did a poetry slam about what she went through with the elders after she was molested. It was much shorter with less details but it was very brave of her.
I truly think these young ones are going to reach so many with their voice.

Wow!! She really touched on everything that's wrong with their claim of JW's being a "loving" organization and did so in a very touching way.
I was wiping away tears as she spoke, very powerful!

We all have in one way or another have been shafted by this religion and Trust me I know it hurts like hell!!
Just try to remember that through all the pain and distress you have a light at the end of it, while those that stay have a never ending life of never ever being good enough to deal with.

I'm very sorry.
I don't think my marriage would have lasted if we hadn't left together.
