iiz2cool	The "New Personality"
	When we were JW's we were constantly reminded to put on a "new personality". Now, before I was a JW I was friendly and easy to get along with. It only took a few years of exposure to the cult before I noticed personality changes. Others noticed too. I was constantly in a state of anger, and it was at it's worst the last few years. I felt as though I hated everyone, and could practically mutilate anyone who crossed my path. Naturally, I kept this under control, but it caused a lot of stress, and as a result, health problems like high blood pressure. Now that I'm out, only for a few months, I'm noticing a change. I'm feeling more like the calm laid-back person I used to be. I no longer view other people as mere obstacles to be overcome. My blood pressure is ok now, and I don't even need the medication for it any more. How about you? Were you always angry as a JW? How has your personality changed since leaving the cult? Walter
