Punky, you mention one thing which never crosses their cosseted brains, the harm they do and repayment for that harm. Perhaps now is the time to seek redress?
To submit yourself to the org is to be deprived of liberty and be stunted in emotional and intellectual development. What financial compensation can one ask from them for this harm they do?
JW children are deliberately deprived of expanding their understanding of life because the GB wants compliant zombies not thinkers. They say all you must do is ”listen and obey”. This is the talk of tyrants; they must know they are hurting people. Their rationale is “WTS first” because that means continuation of their privilege and its prideful perks.
When I was a Jdub I suffered from a permanent sense of anxiety, I would say I lived a blighted life and it all fell away after I left, what a taste of freedom! Of course many grow away from the cult and leave their soul destroying edicts behind but to be a faithful JW means to live an unfulfilled life, wasted on the undeserving bunch of religious nutters in charge.
