My childhood best friend was raised in a JW family and eventually became an atheist. He also refers to it as a cult. I’m really proud of him for getting out of it, because doing so was difficult (because of it being a cult!) and took a lot of strength

I have very little personal experience with them, but I used to work with a guy who was raised JW, and he had nothing good to say about them. He lived it and called it a cult, so I’ll take his word on it.

Same experience here. A former co-worker and good friend was raised JW, and was practicing for all the time I worked with him.
We used to have long conversations about it, as I was raised COE, so was fascinated by some of the more extreme takes.
Anyway, he now only refers to them as “the cult” and has absolutely nothing good to say about them.
