Our Strengths...a list of attributes post-cult
by alamb infound this tonite while online.
i was comforted to know that we have all come out stronger...and why.. compassion & empathy: having survived cultic abuse, you may be readier to empathize with someone else's grief.
it's easy to see the difference between the care and concern our commenters show each other and the hurtful sarcasm so prevalent in the blogosphere.

to my friends here....
by alamb inas a loyal jw, i was ready for my whole world to come to an earth-shattering halt and for life as i knew it to be gone...at the hand of my loving god.
i only remember a life of grey, shades of grey punctuated by flashes of color and emotion which i quickly prayed to get through and to not be tempted by the colors i had seen.
i viewed these as a sign of spiritual weakness and dove back into studying and praying and a living death i called "spiritual paradise".

JW e-mail going around (gag warning)
by alamb ina different congregationthrough all my years as a witness, the times past were not always good.. too many mistakes were being made, brothers not doing what they should.as i look back now, there are times, i can recall,when i didn't look forward to going to the kingdom hall.
the brothers showed no love.
they didn't seem to care.the elders were unyielding, demanding and unfair.meetings were dull and boring.
