First of all Hello!!! Im new but am completly thrilled to find a site like this discussing things i've personally contemplated for years. In my research and through posts here its come to my attention that the meetings (Watchtower study in particular) are designed to hypnotize you(Reference Charcot) thorough, among other means, soothing song. They say it relaxes the mind a prepares it for the process. Its also said that a "hyperactive mind" wouldn't be as suceptable. I myself have ADHD which makes it more difficult for me to remain focused for long periods of times (i always fell asleep too, cant tell you how many times my mom smacked me awake lol). Perhaps that why the meetings never really set in for me and i didnt get swept up in the raptur of the "Thruth". Out of curiosity has anyone noticed a high number of add/adhd diagnosed ex-jw's? Feel free to expand on this notion.
