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.

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.

Did you gain any good character traits as a result of being a dub?
by beebee ini've never been a dub but i've been lurking around here on an off for about a year.
i came here to gain insight into my guy and it's been quite an eye-opening education.
thanks to all of you for all i have learned.

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"

"scrutinity", ok
a true bad jw story, ok
a joke or two, ok
anything above that, after x so many years, will have to be explained or rationalized to me by a professional
btw we are talking about XJW, who "seem" to know better than anybody else, usually come here to tell everyone how wrong jw and behave..

I was impressed by an article, many years ago, explaining how a CD works, in simple terms. At that time many "technical" people and engineers, had no clue.
Of course CD now are recorded using a better technology but emplying the same photonic principle,
a norrow beam of light reflected or absorved for 0 or 1 digital representation.

I can't get a straight answer
by Glofishy incan anyone tell me if the organization believes that when a married spouse is addicted to pornography, they are actually cheating?
i mean cheating in the sense that the "innocent" spouse can then declare that they are victims of adultery, and be free to marry again?
i looked around their website and found nothing that specifically stated that it is considered cheating.

But it is in the elder's manual.
What's that? a modern day Talmud?
