Great story, I'm glad it got bumped up, I hadn't seen it before. I am as irregular on the boards as I was at the meetings when I was a JW, only now no one cares!
My favorite part:
"I still have the desire to be nice to people, to want to help people, but now if necessary, and I have it in my power to do so, I don’t have to direct people to a cult, but rather, to help people to discover their own unique strengths and talents, even as I am still discovering mine…'
So different from what the org teaches people to be, so simple, so much better, so much more fufilling.
