Did disfellowshipping leave you COLD? Science tells us why
by Gopher inshunning and social exclusion are among the very cruellest things that can be imposed on fellow humans.
the jw leadership is quite well aware of this, and so it's not exaggerating to say they are heartless in the way they treat former members.

Be careful -- or this could happen to you too !!
by Gopher inif you make friends here, keep posting here and keep following the forum for a while, you might reach 10,000 posts.
i've found this place a really good outlet and place to learn and share for quite a while.
the number of posts doesn't really matter... but the freedom to speak one's mind and to perhaps share ideas that might help others get past the jw experience .. that does matter!.
