    On a scale from 1 to 10, to what degree did they screw up your life ? Let it be the Watchtower or the JW's... 10 is the Maximum

    I'd say 7

    Not as bad as I screw up the Watchtower with seminars that educate.

    10+ irreparable damage don't think I'll ever recover...

    People joining that cult, don't realize what they are exposing themselves to....my neighbour is studying with an elder....he told me that he would never go door to door, or get baptized or wear a suit and tie....so i spoke to him today and he said he is going to the meeting tomorrow and will wear a suit and tie.....I said you caved in.....he said no I said YES. !!!

    Then i said, youll have to go door to door one day, he said NO, I said yes youll have to.....and youll cave in again and then i said youll get baptized and youll cave in again. I also said, youll have to be obedient to the elders in everything....he said no I'm a leader and wont take that...

    His life is just about to be screwed up good......
