Dear jabbers,
Since I was DFd forty years ago the unpleasantness has faded into the past.
Life has had its ups and downs but very rewarding in terms of seeking and
finding a "spiritual home".
I can say that the first ten years after leaving the JWs I felt real pity for
the rest of my family that continued to follow the JW drivel. They certainly
were unhappy in their disfunctionality, incest, disunity,etc. while I got my
education, married and started a wonderful family. In the past ten years, over
75% of them have left the JWs, become inactive or have been DFd. Those that
have seem to be having much more happy lives, although, I think longterm
affect
of the STBTS atmosphere has made permanent marks on all my neices and nephews.
At least the link has been broken and their kids seem to be better off by far
emotionally and otherwise.
