    Truth,

    You don't realize it, but you are a textbook JW just as we all were at one time.

    The only difference between us really is that we have discovered many many things which you have not as yet. At one time, we too would have come onto a website and gone off like a firecracker, as you have. We'll have been full of blind confidence and 'righteous' indignation, convinced we were right and had the truth, quoting Watchtower articles as if they were an authority etc. We'd have come - like you - without considering that anyone else might actually have anything to teach us and with the view that we knew it all already.

    Yeah, we were you, once.

    Don't presume everyone you meet who is not like you and doesn't think as you do anymore must either be ignorant, stupid, or evil. We are exactly the same as you, just better informed. We have walked in a JW's shoes (many us for a lot longer than even you have), but you have not walked in ours, not yet.

    There is a lot you could learn here, if truth is really what you are interested in, but take it one subject at a time and be less abrupt and dogmatic and you'll get a better reception. Allow for the possibility that you could be wrong and that there may be many things you don't know or been deceived about. If you have the truth, then there is nothing to be afraid of.

    Essan,

    You don't realize it, but this thread is 7 years old Truth might as well have left the JWs since then, and living a happy life. No problem with your comment though, it might help someone else.
