Good on him Jgnat! how awful to have to go what he went through though. I never had it that bad. I'm really happy he is a great boss to have, it does make all the differrence if you can have a laugh at work to relieve some of the tension. I'm glad he supports you and hears you, doesn't that make all the difference?
Going back to the KH and sticking up for x-jws? now you're pushing it a bit here.......well maybe I would, just one or two.........LOL

I am so happy you didn't have it so bad. After reading many hundreds of posts here about how really bad people had it, I love hearing from those who didn't. After all, I was raised a witness, and I have to love and accept the witness child that I was, and who still lives in me.
I don't understand one thing, though: You said
I will never understand the ones with the most vitriole and hate against JWs and the Org
You've read here the same stuff I have: the raped and abused children, the parents, grandparents, and children of people who will no longer speak to them because they are no longer jws, people who are now suffering because they never saved for retirement nor got an education.
How could you not understand their "vitriole?"
Because hate and vitreole does not heal.
People who get knocked about as they are growing up carry damage along with them sometimes into their adult life, but some learn to find an inner strength in themselves that helps them overcome all that, for those that don't, a forum like this has some members that truly want to help that person out of the hole they might find themselves in, with positive advice. The majority here, I have to say from reading as you say, for a long time now, seem to wallow in ridicule and bitterness, this rarely helps the individual. It just serves to help others like them to pat each other on the back for their cleverness.
There is no excuse for those that do this, and they wouldn't if they knew how some might be feeling and hurting. When did being on the attack all the time against something ever really heal?
Everyone is at a different stage here, me included.
Attacking the people is unproductive. Perhaps, though, some of us find solace in attacking a system that causes such damage. Don't former battered wives volunteer at a shelter, former homeless people help at a foodbank, XJW's publicize the secret sins of this society?
Jgnat......good anaology, if only that was true. This site constantly says it doesn't attack JWs only the BORG (tm) ....... But like I've said look back at the previous threads, it does attack JWs in every sense of the meaning. All the time, In every way.
I really think alot of the time, this forum kids itself that it isn't something it really is.
