Dear Found Sheep, WT it is a mind control cult. They suck your mind, energy, your OWN existence...It took me 7 years to get rid of WT's mind control. At the start I suffered with panic attacks for 2 years. I couldn't drive a car, and if there was a traffic jam I was so scared. I couldn't go into market places, or places with crowds.
I was scared to go on stage and play music( I was a guitarist in band). One night I colapsed on stage...I suffered with low esteem, yeah WT makes sure to feel like sh*t and we do not worth a cent with out their damn Organization. I used to allow people to treat me like nothing.
Well I'm glad that those days are gone. I have gained back my confidence, I expanded my understanding regarding God, but most of all regarding me. I do not allow anyone to treat me like sh*t and I got my pride.
I only wish my escape from that evil cult, would have been taken place when I was younger...never the less, I enjoy my life, I live everyday like is my last in this world, I have learned to love people, and most of all I have seen the world with different point of view. I have read books that I wouldn't dare to look when I was a JW, and even I have been to many Christian Churches, Hindu and Budhist also.
There is an entire new world to explore when you leave WT...
