When WWII ended, how difficult was it for the JW's that had been in prison to adjust?
by Sobeit inmy husband seemed to have a hard time..

Nice to have you posting Sobeit, make another post and tell us how you got our 50 years ago - it will be most encouraging.
Now, assuming you are in the USA or the UK/AUS/NZ/CANADA then it would be very difficult because you were in a nation that "won" and that had the feeling it was fighting a "righteous" war. My father was in the forces in WW2 before he became a JW and he said he felt he was doing the right thing to defend the nation from and destroy the Nazis. One of my neighbours growing up fought the Japanese in Burma and his hatred was very deep for the enemy.
If your husband was a JW jailed for being a conscientious objector then he would have felt that although he was doing the right thing but everybody else (neighbours, workmates, even siblings or cousins) would have looked down on him as unpatriotic or even a coward or traitor).
Obviously it takes a certain courage to stand up and not go to war and face court, condemnation and prison. But in WW2 - especially in the UK, the nation (plus the empire) was alone against Hitler, facing bombing and U Boats for a year before Russia then America became involved. So other decent people would view you as a traitor.
After the war you might be talking to those who lost or had maimed a brother/son/daughter/sister from enemy action who would take a very dim view of your "cushy" life and survival.
Hope that makes sense, Sobeit.

Absolutely priceless! Keep up the good work Kevin McFree.
I'm convinced humour and embarrassment (for WT drones) is what will get through to so many PIMI JW's and give ammunition to PIMO's and young ones.
You have a PM.

"Those children suffered because of evil predatory men, shitty parents, and a system which classified working class delinquent children as not being worth protecting. That is why it went on for years".

these look like nice, middle class boys going to uni, involved in sports, government, etc.
they are pretty much standard college kids.

I believe curiousconfused makes a valid point - Robinson AKA Laxley is poacher turned gamekeeper.
However I would like him to validate his "violent/self proclaimed racist/white supremicist" with a source.
edited to add: I don't think he is in any risk in jail.

Sorry Orphan Crow - you said Lyman had dementia - any verified source for that or are you simply projecting a personal view?
Because he turns up in a Kimono over jeans and asks for jello? Unusual yes? Unorthodox? Sure. Dementia? I'm not so sure.
When you have power to do what you like you might just be a cantankerous old bastard having some fun because you can.
