LOL, uhhh Palmtree that is exactly my story... Except now I have understood why others are so hurt. I think the WT uses such harsh language about those that don't follow Jehovah etc..etc.. we get used to it. Then we are trained to look down on others due to their "lifestyle" so when someone hurts or dissappoints a JW they go into reviling mode before they realize it.
I remeber and argument with my father about JW doctrine. As soon as I made sense he yelled, "THERE IS NOTHING ABOUT YOUR LIFESTYLE THAT WOULD MAKE ME WANT TO BELIEVE ANYTHING YOU SAY".... I was like WTF? Then he added said "When ever you attack my faith I will defend it"... We were honestly having a rational conversation about failed prophecies till then. I never discussed religion again with him and we get along fine now. But I never forgot that reaction. I realized I am dealing with a loving rational man until the JW light turns on. I think it's a form of hypnotism.
