Well, One all I can say is that your definition of bashing and mine are completely different.
it is not MY definition, i quoted the definition directly from a dictionary...

74Are ex-jw's or "apostates" addicted to jw-bashing?
by booker-t inthis might seem like a funny question to ask but my mom told me that "apostates" are addicted to jw-bashing and cannot let it go and have a life.
i asked her what she meant by this statement and she told me that all ex-jw's talk about is the wts and jw's and negative things about the jw's.
she said that we get up thinking about jw-bashing and go to sleep thinking about jw-bashing just like a drug addict.

So, they see what I do as negative. So what?
I was having in mind jw family members... many here wish they could do something about their jw family,
jw family members usually "watch" at a distance, but if some don't care about realtives or what they think about us, so let it be.

Outbut,
Isn't that condemnation of us in itself a little negative?!?!
first, i think i am included myself (us) to some extent.
second, the "negative" within the context is "bashin", which i "try" to stay away from
bash = engage in harsh, accusatory, threatening criticism.
third, i mentioned that assuming a negative attitude is bad for our healh and THAT is "positive" to know.
Flying,
We weren't allowed to speak freely about anything like that.
sticking the topic, once we are free to talk, it is ok to bash for a while but become ADDICTED, not to "speak freely" but to bash is what may signal the need for some introversion, if you will, reading some selfhelp book or visiting a professional
Are we addicted to JW bashing? No, not at all.
You can speak for yourself but the "paper trail" is available to provide the answer with demostrative evidence

Telling the truth about "the truth". is one thing, bashing and merely complaining or whinin is another, i think.., is not even good for your health, and i still need to see a case in which by pure antogonic confrontation anything good come out of it.

I have never learned anything new or lets say positive after I left, many many years ago.
For you to be consiered a really "mature" person you must have been a jw for about 10 years.
Dealing with a "mature" jw is an experience that you rarely "experience" in the "world", it like dealing with diplomats, jw is a diplomacy school if you really pay attention, not that all jw learn the lessons, or ever graduate.
In a KH with 100 members usually no more than 10, at the most, are considered really "mature", some of them women... it is not only biblical knowledge but temperament and social skills, there are 9 specific "skills' or fruits that jw insist you practice,.
" 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and selfcontrol.."

btw you can never totally recover from emotional trauma, incidents can cause post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
and the best antidote or cure is to expose yourself to the circumtances or whatever remind you of the real incidents that caused the trauma.
so i will suggest you to pray some more and go to a KH

you have a terrible mate, you divorce and remarriy but continually "bash" the xmate,
the very least the new mate is going to think is that he/she is not a good inspiration to make you happy AND forget the xmate
if we really think we found freedom them why so much negativity which is only going to hurt us in the long run.
you can still talk about the jw but in a "upbuilding" manner, in a way to get some value out of it.
Otherwise it is ammunition for the jw , they going to point to the "whinin" the bible talk about "see that's they are no longer with us", "they have shown what they really are" etc etc
but anyhow we think if feels good to blame the other party, jw refer to that as not being "mature"
