With respect to all believers... well said Alex!
I think you gave a good constructive reply that shows the many positive elements of life outside the bORG.
Witnesses can be confused, surprised, even jealous maybe, when faced with succesful real life stories outside the bORG such as these. Almost as if it' s impossible for "doubters" and "apostates" to avoid a life of misery and failure under full satanic influence.
When ex-JW's f*ck up their lives, it is often due to WT's disastrous abuse or shunning policies or the incapacity of born in JW' s to deal with the challenges of real life. Those stories, not the positive ones, will often be told as "warning examples", thus giving a twisted view of life outside the bORG.
Like others on this forum already have said regularly, living a happy life is the best revenge.
Enjoy your family and good luck with your Latvian brother!
