  This is the way many of us feel no doubt: Feeling like we have been betrayed by a faith that has hidden so much from its believers, and covered up some serious past and present teachings and practices.

  And yet, WE are the ones treated with disdain, contempt or suspicion due to fading from activity!

  Simply amazing that we have had to make a conscious decision to stand up for what is right and not be a part of the organisation for genuine and sincere reasons. And yet they slander us, malign us and make us look like the ones with the problem!

  The army is growing daily and their day WILL come without fail. We just need to stay strong and never go back to that nightmare. Freedom always has a cost.

  It reminds me of the Allegory of the Cave. When the prisoner returns to free the others, he is ostracized.

  Since the JW religion was built up on so much contrived lying deceptions, through weakly devised core doctrines,

  its not really surprising that it had built within itself a strongly indiscriminate watchful eye upon any open dissension ?
  

  There has been many who did question those questionable doctrines and those were selectivity muzzled ( DFed ) and ostracized for doing so or even thinking contravening opposing thoughts.

  The tactic of the WTS is to allure and then entrap people to be effectually exploited and manipulated for labor and money.
  

  What a fine Publishing House Jah has chosen !

  The WTS was able to exploit people's ignorance, fears and insecurities by lying and creating biblicaly unsupported doctrines as their intentional means to allure people to their organization, if you were to realize that you'll be demonized and booted out.

  isn't it interesting how the organization always says that its outsiders who slander, criticize and attack them when it's actually jw's that slander and demonize individuals who for conscientious reasons no longer follow there teachings?

  You can't even fade quietly without a jw trying to label you. So really, who's criticizing who here?

  Nice post SIAR
