Guilty, useless, and never able to fully live up to what I was supposed to be doing.

And they wonder why JWs are always discouraged.

I think tee'd off is more how I felt, when I descovered they wanted more than what I could do. I know I did the best I can, and if they can not understand that then they have bad fruit.
Concider their place and the wicked one will be no more...

Always, always. I could not sleep at night for thinking of all I needed to be doing in "Jehovah's organization". Life is good now without all that shit.

Yeah, everyday felt pretty much the same as it did, while in my fourth grade class I had to say NO to Santa, when he gave me a little sack full of yummies for Christmas. What a bunch of BS to do to a little kid.

Not just guilty - bloodguilty! That's all I remember hearing - the scripture about how if we didn't continually warn others of the impending cataclysm, their blood would be on our heads. Imagine living like that meeting to meeting - having that tripe pounded into your head 3+ times per week... GLAD TO BE RID OF IT!

I used to feel relief, when i went in the field circus, cuz i didn't feel guilty then. Told myslef, as i had been told, that it was the most important work on the earth.

It's like we were always trying to tell ourselves what we doing was all worth it. But we knew.
