Rae,
Welcome to the exit of the cave. Please understand that the teachings and behavior of the WBTS causes it to be the focus of many difficult questions and aqusations causing the JW members frequenting H20 to be on the defensive, whether or not they will acknowledge it. Any cornered animal will show its ferocity, much like a mother protecting its young. On the other hand, those of us that have exited the Society for the most part have already been accused from the JW pulpit of all kinds of ridiculous behavior and a) know its false and b)can let it run off like water on a ducks back. We don't have to defend ourselves from the acusations of "losing out on everlasting life" or suffering the "clutches of Satan" since most of us have left those fairy stories behind.
Hope you enjoy your visit and take up residence.
