"It is true. I have seen very little criticism of JW doctrine on this forum, simply repeated statements of JW mind control practices and how the various posters were able to somehow perform the impossible and extricate themselves from total mental slavery."

You've got to learn to separate the wheat from the chaff. There are many well researched critical posts that are intelligent, logical, honest and thoroughly documented here by AF, NH and Kent among others. Or if you like, visit the link below.

Others are expressing their hurt, anger and frustration resulting from their participation in the WTB&TS. Have you considered why there is so much anger and pain residing in those that left, either out of choice or who were forced to leave? Ask yourself why so many need to express these sentiments.

I, for one, haven't found the amount of resentment, anger, pain and frustration I see expressed here in many other places. Apart from victims of totalitarian regimes (i.e. The Khemer Rouge, the families of the "disappeared" in Chile and Argentina, etc.), wars (i.e. The Middle East and Africa), child abuse, racial discrimination (i.e. The U.S. and South Africa) and other means of denying people freedom or basic human dignity, most would be hard pressed to name many other entities that have caused suffering on such a grand scale. Arguably, some of these others have suffered more profoundly than exJWs, but it is simply impossible to judge another's pain. Still, the number of people, here and in other forums, expressing such thoughts, feelings and concerns contrary to the WTB&TS is enormous for such a relatively small organization. I challenge you to find another religious group of similar size (or for that matter, larger) that precipitates anything remotely similar among those who left or were forced out.

Leaving aside your theological differences with other Christian groups, have you asked yourself how and why an organization that is supposed to be God's direct channel on Earth, disseminating the "Truth," could cause such enormous suffering?

Just wondering.
