I have spent a lifetime of being suppressed and doing the 'right thing'.
Pioneering for years, taking the lead in all sorts of ways, living on the platform and being used in helping out elders/ co's/do's/ bethelites/ missionaries etc... and living like a nun.
Now that I have walked away from the control, guilt, and critisism of the JW's and am trying out 'the world' - to be on here with others who for various reasons chafed against the organisation yet are now standing in moral judgement of me is not what I was expecting. I don't expect praise but I really feel that condemnation is wrong in the context of the fact that the majority of folks here have 'done wrong' in some way.
I will speak no more on the matter and I apologise for upsetting anyone.
